Even in a softer interview with People magazine, Romney kept his criticism on point. Asked by the celebrity magazine to say something nice about his potential rival, Romney praised Obama’s merit pay for teachers and said Obama was “a good example of a husband and father.”
Then he went back to his familiar refrain.
“But the plusses are far exceeded by the places where I’d give him a minus,” Romney said.
The interview included some nonpolitical questions about his Mormon faith.
“Never had drinks or tobacco,” Romney told the magazine when asked if he’s ever had a beer. “It’s a religious thing. I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once, as a wayward teenager, and never did it again.”
