SALT LAKE CITY — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is taking a new approach to hammering Pres. Barack Obama and campaigning in Iowa.

Romney seems to be choosing his words more carefully as he verbally attacks Obama, Politico concludes in an article published Thursday. The piece compares a Romney campaign stop in Pennsylvania last month with his visit Wednesday to Southern California.

"Romney spoke Wednesday in front of a long-defunct mall near Los Angeles, and repeatedly pointed out that the mall's closure wasn't entirely Obama's fault. 'Obviously, the challenges here are not all the result of the current administration,' Romney said, waving at the building behind him.

rombot blaming bush with comrade obama.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The man has entirely too much hair.

[Soul of the South]

Romneycare = Obamacare
Soft on immigration
Economy not Obama’s fault
No debt ceiling or budget plan of his own
A member of the Wall Street private equity establishment responsible for the deindustrialization of the US over the last 20 years?
Darling of the Republican corporatist establishment and the mainstream media
A “moderate”

Now, what is the compelling reason to vote for Romney? Why is he the “frontrunner” for the Republican nomination?

Romney’s masters at Goldman Sachs must not have been pleased with his previous comments about The Kenyan.

This was published by the LDS owned Deseret News. Sounds like Romney is already prepping the LDS to vote for him and not question his policies.

Hey Mittie... JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE ALREADY!

[mojito]

I don’t know how he does it, but every time Mitt opens his mouth I find it makes me dislike him a little more.

[Tex-Con-Man]

When did he hire the McCain campaign staff?

[Ann Archy]

Is Romney vying for Biden’s job??

[EGPWS]

Mitt Romney says he is willing to do ANYTHING and say ANYTHING and decimate the country as needed even if he has to lie so he can get elected.

Hey Mitt, we see through your self promoting BS and YOU will NEVER be POTUS.

We demand a leader not a dog and pony player.

Bad tactic. You have to blame the government and the Fed. Plus, Obama has increased government spending, promoted Tim Geithner, and reappointed Ben Bernanke. Government spending has dramatically increased under Democrats control of Congress in 2006 and a filibuster proof double majority in 2008. This is an albatross around Obama’s neck. He reappointed Bernanke. He has rapidly gone through economic adviser, because his economic policy is a complete failure that nobody wants credit for. He wants to spend more money. Why go soft?

Attack, Attack, Attack!!! Blame the Democrats and Squish RINO's, because this is the result of the policies they promoted. This is easy stuff, really. The only chance Romney has in winning the Republican nomination is for numerous Democrats to vote in the Republican primaries. Romney lacks substance. Romney is massaging a message that has been pitched to focus groups. Romney will not lead America out of the wilderness.

It’s the economy exporting trade deals, stupid.

[bgill]

How many times must Mitt shoot himself in the foot before he realizes he’s a bozo?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Romney is angling for Biden’s job?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Ok didn’t even read your reply first, honest. :)

[Cheetahcat]

What a Idiot!! Everything Is Obloons fault like the 16% Unemployment,The $4.00 Diesel in my truck ,The out of control EPA and draconian Taxes on Business!

NOW Go to Hell, Romney!

This is the most dynamic time since 1859-1860, and predictions are dangerous, especially about the future.

I think Mitt Romney will wind up as Obama’s VP on a Democrat-Republican ticket of national salvation, running against Palin-West.

You heard it here, first.

[hal ogen]

More likely Romney as Prez and his friend, nobama, as VP.
