Mitt Romney had a slightly softer tone in New Hampshire as he hit his message about the economy in the wake of the S&P downgrade in terms of how much blame President Obama should get than he dd last week, per the Wall Street Journal:
"I don't think it's simply the president's fault," Romney said in reply to a question at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Concord, N.H., Monday. "I'm sure there are many people to share responsibility for the excessive spending in Washington over the past couple of decades."
But Romney said the president should have found a way "to work with Republicans, to work with Democrats to establish a relationship of trust to determine what can and couldn't be done politically." And he added that Obama "is primarily for responsible for the failure of this economy to re-ignite."
He also suggested he was referring to Republicans of years' past, not the crop of Tea Party-leaning freshmen elected in 2010.

You can call him McMitt or McRomney,, either is fine by me.
I sure hope to he!! the GOP isn’t crazy enough to put that jackass up for pick.
Typical RINO talk.
That is what I was thinking, McLame all over again.
Romney is a Moron at Best! and at Worst a Paid Employee of George Soros and Al Quida!
I can’t think of anything profound to add, so how about a visceral FUMR......: )
I can’t wait for his campaign to implode. Hope it happens early.
We need someone with a backbone in the white house.....at least Palin and Bachman have more spine than this guy....any vote I might have had for him has disappeared.
This guy wants to run a successful campaign as a challenger? He apparently has never followed a reelection fight.
Yep...that New Hampshire ‘open primary’ is going to finish us off...
He sounds like McCain!
Cheez, he sounds like McStain. Is this how he would conduct a campaign? Where is the opposition????
Is this guy trying to be selected for Obama’s next VP running mate or something?
Geeeeesh.......................
The gist of his message is that it is about the politics, not about the spending cuts. And last week, didn’t he say something about the problem with the stimulus was that it was not enough money?
He might as well give up now.
Romney can’t wait to take the White House and raise our taxes.
NO
What the... how about pointing out the MASSIVE spending by the socialist on Pennsylvania Avenue? The regulatory monster that is our own Gov’t? The taxation that never ever ends? The entitlements, pork, and shameful spending of our hard earned tax dollars????
I don’t see Mitt as appreciating the significance of the problem or having the capacity to be show anger about it. Romney is the wrong guy for the time.
Put a fork in him, he’s done. About all I like about him is he has a good voice and that cool gray sideburn thing going on like Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic 4. Should get him the comic book vote.
Obama has increased the publicly held debt more in 2 1/2 years than Bush did in eight years. Three straight years of trillion dollar annual deficits belong to Obama. What he has done is unprecedented.
