Obama's campaign released a 20-page booklet called the "Blueprint for America's Future" on Tuesday to promote a second term agenda, responding to Republican criticism that the president has not clearly articulated a plan for the next four years.
The campaign was printing 3.5 million copies of the plan, which were being distributed at campaign events and field offices across the country, aiming to outline proposals Obama has discussed to improve education, boost manufacturing jobs, enhance U.S.-made energy, reduce the federal deficit and raise taxes on the wealthy.
