With the race for the White House in a dead heat, U.S. President Barack Obama returns to the campaign trail for the first time in four days Thursday. This after overseeing the response to the devastating storm that hit the eastern seaboard. He revived his successful 2008 campaign slogan: change. It's a slogan Republican rival Mitt Romney has jumped on .... (SOUNDBITE)(English) U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "Now, in the closing weeks of this campaign, Governor Romney has been using all his talents as a salesman to dress up these very same policies that failed our country so badly, the very same policies we've been cleaning up after for the past four years. And he is offering them up as change. He's saying he's the candidate of change. Well, let me tell you, Wisconsin, we know what change looks like. And what the Governor is offering sure ain't change." After Wisconsin, Obama has stops scheduled in Nevada and Colorado before spending the night in Ohio.
