Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney says the time has come to stop the economic stimulus program, contending that it has not worked as the Obama administration planned.
Three days after the Obama White House touted the program as creating or saving some 650,000 jobs, Romney said in a nationally broadcast interview that "the stimulus that the president and the Congress passed is not what's helped the economy."
Romney said on CBS's "The Early Show" that the administration's stimulus plan "didn't work" and

Well, Mitt would sure as hell know about failure.....can you say Romney Care?
Nothing like showing up for the matinee movie at midnight.
Abort porkulus, abort Obamacare, abort the cap and trade tax. Start over with something that will work.
Mitt Romney would make a great Secretary of the Treasury.
And Tim Pawlenty will make a great President of the United States.
Goa way Mitt. You had an opportunity two weeks ago to loomk principlede. Instead, you waffled. Nobody cares what you have to say anymore (excluding, of course, the Rockefeller Republicans and Mittbots).
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace."
There is one conclusion: Romney is a PROVEN economic failure except maybe his hotel porn videos and his raping of companies.
Ummm, ok. You're right. Now go away, RINO.
If 2012 is between Mittens & Hussein, I’m writing in Reagan.
Is Rommney whistling a different tune? Could it be because of Hoffman? The writing on the wall, huh?
Likewise, Obamacare is also. Which is a national version of Romneycare, a miserable failure
The fascinating aspect of the “stimulus” discussion is that by their own numbers the jobs they say were “saved or created” cost $230,000 apiece and they trumpet that like it is a good thing. I have about 4 “openings” in my apartment - where’s my $920,000?
That doesn’t even consider that the 650K is likely grossly inflated to begin with.
I wish people would stop hyping this. That would put him in the line of succession. About fourth or fifth, I'm not sure which. That's way too damn close.
Hey Mitt, what is your position on NY 23?
Yet DavidAccord makes a terrible prognosticator.

Romney: “If only Obama could have gotten through a socialized
healthcare plan, like I did in MA.”
Gee, that o’l Mitt, Harvard MBA, master of finance...he’s right on it, eh? ( Even fighting man Joe Biden said Porkulus didn’t work, and that was a month and a half ago.)
Mitt should just keep selling GOP Girl Scout cookies. He’s good at sales, glad handing, ‘how’s the wife and family’, that kind of stuff.
Hass Mitt jumped on the Hoffman (NY23) bandwagon yet?
You ARE kidding....right?
Massachusetts had a $1 billion budget surplus by 2005 and the state's rainy-day fund grew to $2 billion by the end of Gov. Romney's term.
