(CBS News) Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to Mitt Romney, said voters are most concerned about the economy, and he believes voters may see the presumptive GOP nominee as an "economic savior."

Fehrnstrom also predicts younger voters will support Mitt Romney because of his economic policies.

"I think they are going to see Mitt Romney as an economic savior of sorts," Fehrnstrom said in an interview with Hotsheet. "They are going to vote their interest, and there's no greater interest of a recent college graduate than getting employed and being employed in your chosen profession."

That was the second time Saturday morning Fehrnstrom referred to Romney as an economic savior. The first was during an event hosted by The Washington Post where Fehrnstrom told the gathering that Romney's economic credentials are the reason he came back to win the Florida primary after a loss to Newt Gingrich in South Carolina.

(CBS News) Will we ever see presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney follow in President Obama's footsteps and slow jam the news?

Maybe, Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said on Saturday, but not at the risk of making light of the struggles of youth voters - a bloc with which the Romney campaign is trying to make inroads.

Mr. Obama amused some and irked others when he appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on Tuesday night and talked about keeping student loan rates low, over a beat laid down by The Roots.

The Romney campaign didn't seem to find it funny.

"I do think there was something a little bit off-key about the president slow jamming and appearing to make light of the fact that students are struggling," Fehrnstrom said Saturday at an event put on by The Washington Post. "I don't think it's something to slow jam about or to make light of it."

(CBS News) In his weekly address, President Obama highlighted a new executive order that protects service members and veterans from predatory educational institutions, including for-profit schools.

The president said his new directive will protect service members from "bad actors" looking to profit from service members' financial benefits.

"The sad truth is that there are people out there who are less interested in helping our men and women in uniform get ahead and more interested in making a buck," Mr. Obama said. "They bombard potential students with emails and pressure them into making a quick decision. Some of them steer recruits towards high-interest loans and mislead them about credit transfers and job placement programs. "

(CBS News) In the Republican weekly address, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), author of the House Republican budget, criticized the Senate and President Obama for failing to produce a budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

"The president is hunkered down in campaign mode, and seems intent on dividing Americans for political gain instead of offering credible solutions to our most pressing fiscal and economic challenges. And his party leaders in the Senate? They're about to go another year without a budget," Ryan said.

Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), who chairs the Senate Budget Committee, this week backtracked from his earlier announcement that his committee would craft and vote on a Senate budget.

"Last week, leaders in the United States Senate, which is controlled by the president's own party, announced they would not advance a budget for the third year in a row," Rep. Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, said. "Tomorrow, in fact, will mark three years to the day since the Senate last fulfilled this basic governing responsibility."

Although the president offered a budget proposal in February, Rep. Ryan blames the Democratic-led Senate's inaction on Mr. Obama.

(CBS News) WESTERVILLE, Ohio - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Friday began the process of introducing himself to a general election audience by peppering his stump speech with personal anecdotes aimed at helping the wealthy former venture capitalist connect with every day people.

Speaking to students and staff at Otterbein University in central Ohio, Romney described his career as the head of Bain Capital, a private equity firm that he said provided the impetus for a number of successful start-ups, including the Staples office supply chain.

WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney offered a group of college students this advice on Friday: If you want to start a business, borrow money from your parents.

Romney, a wealthy former investment banker who has struggled to soften his image as a member of America's super elite, was discussing ways of achieving the American dream at Otterbein University. He said, "We've always encouraged young people: Take a shot, go for it. Take a risk. Get the education. Borrow money if you have to from your parents. Start a business."

(CBS News) In the wake of an outreach to young voters by President Obama, Mitt Romney on Friday advised young voters at Otterbein University to separate "appearance" from "reality" this election season.

"Appearances do not always equal reality," the presumptive Republican nominee said. "Facts are more important than words."

Romney told the students at the Westerville, Ohio liberal arts school to be leery of smooth rhetoric, alluding to Mr. Obama's likeability and ability to deliver energetic speeches.

"You're going to hear a lot of words, but you will also have an opportunity to look at the facts," Romney said.

President Obama won voters aged 18-29 by 34 percent in the 2008 election, and he is working to maintain that margin this election season. During recent visits to college campuses in three battleground states - North Carolina, Ohio and Colorado - the president highlighted the issue of of expiring student loan subsidies.

Sen. John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, released a statement Friday attacking President Obama for what was described in a press release as the president's "decision to play politics with the one year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death."

"Shame on Barack Obama for diminishing the memory of September 11th and the killing of Osama bin Laden by turning it into a cheap political attack ad," McCain said. "This is the same President who once criticized Hillary Clinton for invoking bin Laden 'to score political points.'"

The ad McCain is referencing is a video from the Obama campaign in which former President Bill Clinton credits Mr. Obama for making a hard choice to go after the terrorist leader. The ad suggests presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would not have approved the risky mission.

"This is the same President who said, after bin Laden was dead, that we shouldn't 'spike the ball' after the touchdown," McCain said in the statement. "And now Barack Obama is not only trying to score political points by invoking Osama bin Laden, he is doing a shameless end-zone dance to help himself get reelected. No one disputes that the President deserves credit for ordering the raid, but to politicize it in this way is the height of hypocrisy."

The criticism doesn't end there. Read McCain's full statement below.

(CBS News) -- On CBSNews.com's Hotsheet Live on Friday, CBS News political director John Dickerson was joined by National Journal's Ron Fournier and Erin McPike of Real Clear Politics to discuss a seeming lack of transparency in the 2012 presidential campaign, and how voters are responding it.

"With a lot of the voters that I've talked to on the road, they just don't feel like they are getting answers from anyone - not from the media, not from the candidates, and frankly not from the candidates' websites," McPike said.

The lack of forthcoming information in this campaign cycle is "like customer service for your cable company," Dickerson quipped.

(CBS News) The Republican-led House on Friday approved a bill to extend low interest rates on student loans -- but not before a heated debate over the Republican plan to pay for the bill by repealing part of President Obama's health care overhaul.

The measure passed by a vote of 215 to 195, with only about a dozen Democrats supporting the bill. Most Democrats opposed the bill because its $6 billion price tag is paid for by repealing the Prevention and Public Health Fund -- a fund that would provide for hundreds of thousands of screenings for breast and cervical cancer.

In explaining Democratic opposition to this specific bill, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said today, "What we're saying here today is stop your assault on women."

Her criticism alluded to the sustained attack Democrats have launched against Republicans in recent months, accusing them of waging a "war on women."
