Obama Urges Crowd at UMD to Get Behind His Debt-Reduction Plan

President Obama told a crowd at the University of Maryland's Ritchie Coliseum Friday that he needed help urging Congress to raise taxes on the wealthy to reduce the deficit. "There's simply too much debt on America's credit card," he said, during a town hall meeting. "Neither party is blameless... but both parties have a responsibility to solve it."
