Obama sets 'closing statement'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Barack Obama will deliver a "closing argument" this week, the campaign announced Sunday.

The speech, to be delivered Monday from Canton, Ohio, will emphasize the differences between Obama and Republican nominee John McCain, CNN reported.

"In his speech, Senator Obama will tell voters that after 21 months and three debates, Senator McCain still has not been able to tell the American people a single major thing he'd do differently from George Bush when it comes to the economy," the Obama campaign said in an e-mail to reporters.

The statement said Obama will ask Americans "to help him change this country" and "choose an economy that rewards work and creates new jobs and fuels prosperity from the bottom-up."

The campaign said the speech would also focus on healthcare, education and renewable energy.
