President Barack Obama said you won't hear him complaining about rival Mitt Romney's bashing his handling of the economy, because if he were in Romney's place, he'd be "making the same argument."

In an interview broadcast Sunday morning on CBS, Obama agreed that the economy is nowhere near the level of recovery it should be.
