President Barack Obama has laid into his would-be White House replacement in a fervent attack on Mitt Romney's policies and character designed to knock his challenger off course ahead of a crucial convention speech.

In a calculated move timed just days before Republican delegates meet in Florida to nod through Romney as their presidential candidate, Obama accused his rival of holding "extreme positions" and failing to "own up" to responsibilities.

But he attacked Romney on positions the candidate has taken that tie him to the right wing of his party, and cast aspersion over whether the Republican presidential hope had adopted stances out of conviction or through political expediency.

In the interview conducted Thursday but released on Saturday, Obama said: "I can't speak to governor Romney's motivations," adding: "What I can say is that he has signed up for positions, extreme positions, that are very consistent with positions that a number of House Republicans have taken.
