CAMDEN, N.J. -- President Barack Obama is telling voters in New Jersey that challenging economic times are worrying parents who want to send their kids to college and plan for their own retirement.
Obama is campaigning on behalf of New Jersey's Democratic governor, Jon Corzine, who is in a tough bid for re-election. Corzine is tied in polls with his Republican opponent, Chris Christie.
At a rally in Camden on Sunday, Obama blamed the economic downturn on trickle-down policies and lax regulation favored by Christie's Republican Party. The president praised Corzine for moving the state forward on education and economic issues.
Corzine draws criticism for his handling of state finances. The top issue for voters is the state's high property tax.
