I’ve been tough on Mitt Romney and leaned hard on his campaign to take the gloves off, get in the fighting spirit, and push back against Obama narratives.
Today in Irwin, Pennsylvania, Romney delivered.
The Right Scoop has both excerpts and full speech video clips.
Watch here.

As I noted on Twitter during the speech earlier this afternoon, Romney impressed with both the substance and the delivery of his rallying cry on behalf of individual achievement and free enterprise. He was energetic and passionate.
I believed in what he was selling: A vision for restoring American greatness and defending success.
Obama’s inability to hide his ideological contempt for entrepreneurs & individual success has helped Romney self-actualize.
If he gives this speech with the same zeal and optimism from now until November — offering a clear, unapologetic contrast to Barack Obama’s bitter politics of resentment, class warfare, and entitlement, Mitt Romney will win.

Yes, he will. It was a great speech.
Impossible....we were told that Mitt is weak, an idiot, an amateur, an agent of the left, blah, blah, blah.
Obama is spending money like a drunken sailor yet the biased polls show that he is barely holding even with Mitt. The Romney campaign knows exactly what they are doing and this race will over by September.
Great speech. He turned tables and repeatedly mocked Obama’s “you didn’t build it” line.
He also added “Roads and bridge. Yeah. No kidding. We already paid for them.”
Of course, the MSM will ignore it, but this speech is a winner.
Did Mr. RomneyCARE RETRACT his position on DEATH PANELS
and socialized medicine?
Did he?
Did Mr. RomneyCARE apologize to Gov Palin and the
conservatives he attacked to make Obama pOTUS?
Uh, Michelle, he has to mean what he says, not just mouth the words.

To win, as she says he will? No, he doesn’t.
Romney needs to throw political correctness out the window. He will find that Americans are DESPERATE FOR THAT. He should go on the attack and call 0bama out on his TACTICS not merely his words. Then, he should move on and not WALLOW in 0bama’s attacks. This is one of the reasons Reagan was revered. Romney needs an “Excuse me sir but I PAID for this microphone” moment.
The other day I said to my kid - “like a broken record”. He just stared at me. He didn’t know what I was talking about.
Did you see the speech? It was right there!
He will have my vote.
He will have my vote.
It was cold hard logic...and if Mitt had to deliver it with blood in his eye, so be it!
Call me crazy, but straight talk is exciting!
Without free enterprise, and the profit motive, how on Earth do you think ANY cause that we believe in, as Conservatives, could possibly finance themselves?
Obama wants to take away our ability to fight.
You’re slipping! It took you five posts to spew your tired crap.
I agree with you but caution you not to throw your pearls before swine.
Great speech!!!! This is what he needs to do the rest of the way!
