WASHINGTON — President Obama's push on Monday to extend tax cuts for the middle class — but not for the rich — is being joined by an all-out effort from his allies to portray Mitt Romney as a wealthy candidate who is out of touch with most Americans.
The president's campaign and his surrogates are accusing the presumptive Republican nominee of hiding the sources of his multimillion-dollar fortune and of refusing to release multiple years of his tax returns. On Monday, they also mocked Mr. Romney's weekend fund-raisers at glamorous estates in the Hamptons.
In an interview with a New Hampshire television station on Monday, Mr. Obama added his voice to the criticism of his rival, saying that Americans should "know who you are and what you've done and that you're an open book. And that's been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney's father."
Senior aides to Mr. Obama's campaign say the intent is not to attack the rich, or even the fact of Mr. Romney's wealth. Instead, the focus on Mr. Romney's personal fortune is part of a broader plan, they say, to disqualify Mr. Romney's economic credentials in the eyes of voters.
"It's about the fact that Governor Romney, who could be the first president in history to keep his finances offshore, has defied precedent and kept his tax returns secret even though they could prove whether or not he avoided paying taxes," said Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr. Obama.Continue reading the main story
Amanda Henneberg, a spokeswoman for Mr. Romney, called questions about the Republican's wealth an "unfounded character assault" and said it was "unseemly and disgusting."
The aggressive push by Democrats comes just days after another mediocre jobs report provided new ammunition for Mr. Romney's criticism of the president's economic policies. Just 80,000 jobs were added in June, capping the worst quarter since the summer of 2010 for job creation.
Mr. Obama sought a quick change of subject on Monday with his call for an extension of middle-class tax cuts, saying that the fate of similar cuts for the wealthy would be resolved by voters in November's election.
"My opponent will fight to keep them in place," he said. "I will fight to end them."
Meanwhile, the president's advisers and allies are intensifying their focus on Mr. Romney's financial holdings, seizing on reports by the news media that some of the Republican's personal money is kept in overseas bank and investment accounts. The reports added new details about the status of Mr. Romney's finances.
The existence of a Swiss bank account was first disclosed in January, when Mr. Romney released his 2010 tax returns. Advisers have said the account was closed that year.
But an article in Vanity Fair magazine published last week added new details about other holdings in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, which served as complex investment holdings for partnership income that Mr. Romney continued to receive for years after leaving Bain Capital, the private equity firm he founded two decades ago.
The article said Mr. Romney has financial interests of at least $30 million in 12 funds in the Cayman Islands.
Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mr. Romney's campaign, said on Fox News Sunday that the Republican candidate "hasn't paid a penny less in taxes by virtue of where these funds are domiciled." He added, "His liability is exactly the same as if he held the fund investments directly in the U.S."
But that answer has not stopped Democrats and Mr. Obama's campaign from attacking. The Democratic National Committee created a video on Sunday highlighting reports of bank accounts in offshore institutions.
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program on Monday, Robert Gibbs, a senior adviser to Mr. Obama's campaign, bluntly accused the Republican candidate of not giving voters the information they need to make a decision about his wealth.
"Release the tax returns," Mr. Gibbs said. "Put all this to rest. If Mitt Romney is not hiding something in Bermuda and Switzerland and the Caymans, it will be in the tax returns."
Dan Senor, an adviser to Mr. Romney, on the same "Morning Joe" episode, said that Mr. Gibbs was being "stunningly dishonest" in his attacks. "The reason we know about these accounts, as Robert knows, is because they are in the tax returns that Mitt Romney released," Mr. Senor said.
The Obama campaign is walking a fine line — trying to make Mr. Romney seem out of touch while not appearing to question the value of being a wealthy businessman. That kind of message could backfire, especially with moderate voters in battleground states.
"It's not about wealth," Mr. LaBolt wrote in an e-mail. "There have been other wealthy candidates, nobody is out to demonize wealth."
So far, Mr. Obama's campaign has focused more directly on Mr. Romney's role as a business executive, suggesting that his career was a boon to the wealthy and that he did not have the interests of workers at heart.
Now, Democrats are hoping to contrast Mr. Obama's refusal to extend tax cuts for the wealthy and Mr. Romney's desire to cut taxes for people like him.
Mr. Romney's advisers believe that the effort will misfire. They argue that voters want the candidates to talk about how they will turn around the economy.
Polling suggests they may be right. A Washington Post/ABC News poll in April found that 71 percent of those surveyed did not consider Mr. Romney's wealth to be a major reason to support or oppose him. Among those who said it was a major factor in the decision, his wealth was more likely to be a negative.
For the most part, Mr. Romney's advisers intend to ignore the attacks on his personal wealth. On Monday, they focused on Mr. Obama's renewed call to let the tax cuts for the wealthy expire.
"Americans are struggling in a 'zombie economy,' and President Obama's only answer is to pass one of the largest tax hikes in history," Ms. Henneberg said.Continue reading the main story

Suspected pollution incident kills trout
Over 50 trout have been killed in a suspected pollution incident at a Welsh lake.
The Environment Agency is investigating the incident which happened at a private fishing pond in Welshpool, Powys, which feeds the Lledan Brook.
The agency pumped oxygen into the water overnight to help the remaining fish survive. The operation may continue through the weekend.
A spokesman said: "We are very grateful to the member of the public who contacted us about this incident. This pollution is suspected of already killing 50 trout so it is important to contain it within the lake".
"We need to find out where it has come from and how it got there to try and avoid a repeat incident."

The battlefield blends 2 different features together, a structure on the left and a curving hill on the right. These features emphasize the verticality of the original level. There are a total of 9 drop-through platforms placed in the middle and the left side of the level, which help keep the Brawl flowing smoothly.

We got that from both sides of the family. I did register him as a home-schooler at five and told them if it doesn't work out then he hasn't missed anything because he doesn't have to register until 6. Honestly the cost of homeschooling is far less then my friends seem to pay for their public school kids. However I pay up front they get nickled and dimed to death. School lunch alone costs over $300. My sister spends $1000 a year per kid not including lunch. My parents gave me less of a hard time after his test scores came in. With DH's family nothing was said after Miguel was able to visit in the middle of the school year and he was still able to do his work. There not all extremely happy with my choice but they have excepted it and really that's all I can as.

Mexican President Vicente Fox will propose a law allowing Mexican citizens living abroad to vote in the 2006 election. But allowing Mexicans living in the United States illegally to vote back home will discourage their assimilation into American culture, says Investors Business Daily (IBD).
Absentee voting is convenient in many situations, but Mexico is a special case:
- Some 10 million Mexicans live in the United States, legal and otherwise.
- Many Mexican immigrants see no reason to assimilate: In Los Angeles County, 3.3 million of the area's 8.8 million households are Spanish-speaking.
- Mexicans in the United States also send home almost $13.3 billion per year, about 2 percent of Mexico's GDP.
Allowing Mexican emigrants to vote works against efforts to assimilate them into mainstream American culture, says IBD. Furthermore, Mexico would rather depend on emigration to take care of its surplus labor problem than improve its economy and create more jobs.
While Mexico has a right to make its own voting rules, the United States can enforce policies that encourage immigrant assimilation, like ending bilingual education and punishing the hiring of illegal workers, says IBD.

Bengaluru, Dec 15: Roman Reigns is back to the prime championship picture after a gap of several months.
After rightfully earning the number one contender's spot, he will be featuring in the main event spot at the WWE Roadblock: End of the Line PPV.
He will challenge the reigning champion, Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship.
Now a report from allwrestlingnews.com said that WWE is nurturing the idea of making him a dual champion at the last PPV of the year.
He is already holding the United States champion. As per the source, he will also pin Kevin Owens to earn the second title in his shoulder.
This is due to make Reigns even looking stronger with the double champion tag. It will be the similar condition that Conor McGregor has become after becoming the dual champion in UFC.
Only a few superstars in the WWE history have been able to earn the accolade and he will be amongst them.
Last time, Seth Rollins have held the US title and the WWE World title at the same time at Summerslam 2015. He defeated the franchise player, John Cena in order to do so. He later dropped the US title back to Cena.
In quite a similar fashion, Reigns too will be dropping the US title in near future. Either Braun Strowman or Chris Jericho is going to be the one to take the title from him.
As of now, it's just some sort of speculation but considering WWE's intentions to book Roman Reigns stronger, it might just turn out to be true.
He is still the franchise of the Raw brand in Vince McMahon's eyes. Hence, they just may go forward with the planning without keeping in mind that they have to deal with a lot of backlash from the fans.
Since winning the US champion at Clash of Champions PPV, he has defended it only twice but has pinned the Universal champion, several times which means he is still "the guy."
Whether he wins the Universal title or not at Roadblock, he is almost guaranteed to get a big match at Wrestlemania 33.
