FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY
On comparisons to President George W. Bush:
“President Bush and I are different people and these are different times. And that’s why my five-point plan is so different from what he would have done.”FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY
On energy:
“I want to make sure we use our oil, our coal, our gas, our nuclear, our renewables… But what we don’t need is to have the president keeping us from taking advantage of oil, coal and gas. This has not been Mr Oil, or Mr Gas, or Mr Coal.”PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
On energy:
“When I hear Governor Romney say he’s a big coal guy, I mean, keep in mind, Governor, when you were governor of Massachusetts, you stood in front of a coal plant and pointed at it and said, ‘This plant kills,’ and took great pride in shutting it down. And now suddenly, you’re a big champion of coal.”PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
On Romney’s tax plan:
“What he says is he’s going to make sure that this doesn’t add to the deficit and he’s going to cut middle-class taxes. But when he’s asked, ‘how are you going to do it, which deductions, which loopholes are you going to close?’ he can’t tell you… We haven’t heard from the governor any specifics beyond Big Bird and eliminating funding for Planned Parenthood in terms of how he pays for that.”Answering why Americans should vote for him again:
“The commitments I’ve made, I’ve kept. And those that I haven’t been able to keep, it’s not for a lack of trying and we’re going to get it done in the second term.”On Romney’s promise to crack down on China:
“When he talks about getting tough on China, keep in mind that Governor Romney invested in companies that were pioneers of outsourcing to China… Governor, you’re the last person to get tough on China.”
Battle continues. Yanks down 2-0 bottom of the 6th now.
