>>> while the gop primary season continues to grind on, eating up time and money and effort they would rather devote to the general election campaign, today the democrats were in full fall campaign mode, seemingly, with vice president biden taking on the gop on the economy. our report tonight from nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker.
>> reporter: with republican candidates hammering him for high gas prices and calling for more drilling, president obama defends his energy policy in suburban maryland today, and attacked the gop rivals.
>> lately we heard a lot of professional politicians, a lot of the folks who are running for certain office, who shall go unnamed. they've been talking down new sources of energy.
>> reporter: the president didn't name names but joe biden sure did.
>> mitt romney , rick santorum and newt gingrich , these guys have a fundamentally different economic philosophy than we do.
>> reporter: assuming the traditional vice presidential role of campaign attack dog , biden bared his teeth before a receptive audience of auto workers in politically-important ohio.
>> the guy i work with every day, the president, he didn't flinch. this is a man with steel in his spine.
>> reporter: and he slammed the republican candidates who oppose the auto bailout.
>> a million jobs saved, 200,000 new jobs created, and the verdict is in 2, president obama was right and they were dead wrong.
>> reporter: the speeches were held at the exact same time, a ploy for a campaign split screen? the white house deflected that question. strategists say the imagery is clear.
>> joe biden is doing what vice presidential candidates often do, which is calling the other side out on issue defenses.
>> reporter: also today, the campaign released a 17-minute documentary that was put together by oscar-winning director david gugenheim and narrated by tom hanks . it's the obama team's way of saying game on.
>> kristen welker in washington at the white house . thanks.
