ATHENS, Ohio - President Barack Obama has continued a focus on college campuses with an evening rally at Ohio University in southeastern Ohio.
Obama told the crowd Wednesday that he has two daughters and doesn't want them to be paid less for the same job as a man.
Nineteen-year-old Ohio University student Paris Aaron of Columbus said before the president's speech that he is voting for Obama because he wants to help give the president a chance to finish what he has started. Aaron says he doesn't think starting all over will help the country.
Twenty-year-old Breanna Williams, from Jackson, Ohio, said she also is supporting Obama. Williams says she believes he is "really geared" toward college students and that funding and affordability of higher education are among the top issues for her.
