mr. obama. nancy? >> reporter: scott, the obama campaign derided romney's speech today as a series of "snarky lines about the president and gauzey reminiscences of the past." the president's visit to this military base was not technically a campaign stop, but it was designed to turn the page from tampa and showcase his role as commander in chief. the president flew to fort bliss texas, to mark the two-year anniversary of one of his foreign policy milestones, the end of the combat mission in iraq. he did not mention governor romney by name but president obama did challenge romney's harsh assessment of his leadership abroad. >> if you hear anyone trying to say that america is in decline or that our influence has waned don't you believe it. here's the truth, our alliances have never been stronger. >> reporter: obama campaign officials rebuked romney today for failing to even mention the troops, veterans or the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan in his convention speech. in texas, the president laid out his criteria for futur

whatever it takes to get what rick scott wants. mr. is the resisting local elections official. he happens to be a republican. he told "the miami herald" that it is clear that rick scott is trying to intimidate him. but he said that the attempt is not working. he is not scared. that lone republican supervisor in south florida stands out, not just in florida, but in republican politics at large. i mean, the standard used to be that republicans supported the voting rights act. now texas republicans are openly calling for the repeal of the voting rights act in their state platform. this weekend in the same interview where he offered his theory about rape and pregnancy, congressman todd akin suggested that the states should be allowed to do whatever they want with elections. >> elections have historically always been a state thing. and i didn't realize how important or how good that was until we had that very close race, a second race with george bush, and you had something that goes wrong in florida, and i'm thinking, boy, it sure is good
