Mitt Romney tried to turn the tables on President Obama on Friday night, accusing him of running an “incredible shrinking campaign” and for failing to provide details on a second-term agenda.

Romney slammed the president for “pretty attacks” and playing “silly word games” instead of addressing the country’s looming challenges that include a stagnant economy, high unemployment and a growing debt crisis â€" final shots before last presidential debate, Monday night.

“Have you been watching the Obama campaign lately?” the Republican presidential candidate asked the crowd, including motorcycle enthusiasts in town for the annual ‘Biketoberfest’ event. “They have no agenda for the future, no agenda for America, no agenda for a second term”

“It’s a good thing they won’t have a second term,” Romney continued to applause. “We have big ideas, bold ideas, a strong agenda. We are going to get America working again and that’s why you’re going to help elect the two of us.”

The Obama campaign immediately shot back, outlining the president’s pledges and accusing Romney of “empty promises, sketchy math, and blatant falsehood

“Mitt Romney’s spent the last month hiding his true positions from the American people to win votes, but the truth is he’d take us back to the same failed policies that devastated the middle class in the first place,” campaign spokesman Danny Kanner said in a statement. 

Romney’s comments in Florida came after the president coined a name for what thinks are Romney’s shifting positions -- “Romnesia.”

After months of attacks from Democrats â€" and even some members of his own party â€" for lacking specifics on his plans for the country, Romney is trying to capitalize on recent momentum. 

His strong performance in the first presidential debates led to a tightening in polls both nationally and in critical swing states.  Two polls released Friday showed Romney with a slight lead in Florida, but within the margin of error.

Romney’s was introduced by his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who argued Obama continues to use attack and criticize because he no new ideas and an unsuccessful presidency.

"Let me give you a quote that he said just four years ago: ‘If you don’t have any fresh ideas, use stale tactics to scare people.’ If you don’t have a record to run on, paint your opponent as someone people should run from. Make a big election about small things,” Ryan said. "That’s what Barack Obama said when he was running for president in 2008. That’s exactly what Barack Obama has become now that he is president in 2012, and we’re going to change it."

Ryan then gave a shout out to the throngs of motorcycle riders clogging the streets of Daytona Beach, approving of the Wisconsin made bikes.

"I saw a lot of our Milwaukee-made Harleys running all around town here,” Ryan said. “We know how to build things in America. We know how to create jobs in America."
