Romney son apologises to Obama

The son of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has apologised to Barack Obama for saying in a radio interview that he was tempted to "take a swing" at the US president for criticising his father during a debate.

Tagg Romney walked up on stage with other family members after yesterday's third presidential debate in Florida, where cameras showed him shaking hands and exchanging words with Mr Obama.

After the second presidential debate, Tagg told a radio interviewer it made him angry when Mr Obama questioned his father's honesty.

"You want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him," he said in the interview.

A Romney campaign official said today that Tagg apologised for the remark.
