President Barack Obama is pressing his pitch for the so-called Buffett Rule.

The president is scheduled to deliver a morning statement on the rule named for billionaire investor Warren Buffett. It argues that wealthy taxpayers should not pay taxes at a lower rate than middle-class wage-earners.

The statement comes at a time when Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney, who opposes raises taxes on the wealthy, is
a big step closer to claiming his party's nomination following the withdrawal of Rick Santorum from the race.

After a closed-door meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
today, the president will attend a campaign event in Washington.
