During a press conference in Chicago at the site of the Nato Summit Monday, the president argued in defiant support of his campaign's growing attacks against Romney, who was described in one ad as a "vampire" for making profits as workers were being laid off. Senior campaign advisor David Axelrod also defended the campaign's attacks against Romney's career at Bain while appearing on MSNBC Monday, framing the strategy as a reasonable examination of the former Massachusetts governor's business experience which the Republican has touted as "his chief credential for running for office." On Tuesday Rep. James Clyburn, the third-ranking House Democrat, described Romney’s business practices as “raping companies and leaving them in debt” for his own profit.
