WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney demanded Monday that President Barack Obama back away from his persistent attacks on Romney's record at Bain Capital, advising that it would be better "if you spent some time speaking about your record."

"What does it say about a president whose record is so poor that all he can do in this campaign is attack me," Romney said in a nationally broadcast interview.

In a separate interview, Obama said he has run mostly positive campaign ads but said the media largely has ignored them.
