Mitt Romney is launching a fresh counter attack on President Obama you can expect to hear a lot more of this from the governor this week.
The president fails to understand the basic nature.
Of free enterprise and America.
He thinks that government dominated.
Decisions like this make America stronger.
While Romney will accuse the administration of crony capitalism at the expense of the middle class -- and Jimmy come up pollster and -- news contribute -- -- -- his Kia.
So mr.
Romney goes on the counter attack a belief is found.
200 examples.
Of government money going to campaign -- a bomb -- and campaign supporters here.
Well I mean it's just epidemic in this administration and this is probably.
I mean you have all of this and -- but the level of corruption in this administration terms the amount of socks.
Of money.
Billions and billions of dollars in stimulus money going only to bond -- green energy money going only to -- -- -- contributors.
And when it's not going overseas I mean I don't know what they've been waiting for you usually -- eruption.
It's correctional you know if that's what are too strong corruption what went let me tell you something when I'm taking taxpayers' money.
In giving it to people who support me and get me elected and then -- go buy property just -- -- -- the money getting -- being.
And on that basis alone but then they go broke or whatever I mean look what -- need to make the case and he's looking solve our problems W with main.
But the only on the part about his company if I take my investors' money and invest in lose -- that's one thing.
But it might take taxpayers' money in you -- -- give it to -- contributors and -- what does that.
What do you think this would be a successful counterattack because although I don't live -- -- -- a lot of pressure on his -- I think I don't think it solves the problem he needs to get that out of the way.
But he does need to be on the offensive and he does need to say this gets back to spending and the cronyism remember.
Barack Obama campaign is a transforming president.
I would do things different his Charlie Rose interview.
Yesterday when he -- -- I'm just so sorry did the Washington still is bad as it was my god here -- -- what is so it's not his fault -- his administration runs as a Chicago political.
Operation.
You know it's been and this is an example of it and that I'm surprised Republicans have been on this for a long -- What do you make of the president's statement -- on who it was a speech.
It was on Friday afternoon I believe in Virginia he said if you've -- -- business you didn't build that somebody else made that happen how do you is -- incensed about this well but I'm surprised that the president goes so far left he -- with a collective this kind of approach.
He is -- is a Democrat my feeling is he is -- takes a Democratic Party so far.
Out of the mainstream of where Jimmy Carter John Kennedy Bill Clinton.
Have the party I mean this is.
This this argument that you didn't do put on your own I mean you wield the government it's what Charles seven minute ago but let's put everybody on on on the government of wheeled in did this stuff.
Doesn't go over well but I think he's committed to limit what I have a debate -- -- how could you say it doesn't go oval well.
When the president is neck and -- wouldn't -- -- because -- well that's because in part the president has -- bully pulpit and partly because let me say this the messaging that the super party.
The Republican Party is so bad I mean I -- all the -- parties to the part of their little both.
But I wanna -- -- their messaging just like on health care.
When they -- back handed this this tax issue and for five days you don't know how to respond Romney campaign.
The hill that wanna just -- house -- just wanna read urgent -- Let's do you the same tired stuff we did -- say we have a tax now the president misled you.
The -- I did their message is awful the way the president's too -- is because the Romney has not defined himself in a way that makes him appealing enough to voter yet.
A professional political -- a professional political -- yeah.
Rank the Romney campaign on a scale of one to 1010 is excellence -- is terrible -- About a for that -- Let's put it this way of campaigns challenging for president I'm sure it will -- -- this.
I think only the Bob Dole campaign in 96 do you think the dollar -- to reform yes it did say that what they don't listen they don't they don't think they don't Stratton they think just politics is about tactics it is about the strategy.
Romney is not needs to connect with voters you could straighten Romney's problem mount assuming -- -- -- and the saudis are right now which I think you can't.
You know we can do that -- thirty days but time is running out on -- -- -- now we hear you we have thank you very much for being with -- I'm sure we'll see you again before and of them.
Seven times from expect that good --
