By NBC's Garrett Haake
DERRY, NH -- For once, Mitt Romney gave credit today for President Obama coming through on a campaign promise.
"Candidate Barack Obama was here speaking and he said he was going to bring big things to America," Romney said, standing in the same high school gymnasium in Derry, New Hampshire where then-Sen. Obama spoke on January 6, 2008. "Well, he did. And they came with big price tags. And they didn't work out so well. Big things. Bad things. Expensive things. He brought Obamacare. We don't want Obamacare. We don't need it, we don't want it. "
Romney repeated the mantra several times during today's rally, labeling the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill and other Democratic achievements of the past three years among President Obama's "big, bad things, expensive things."
Here in Romney's firewall state of New Hampshire -- where NBC/Marist polling conducted this week shows Romney enjoying a 20-point lead over his closest challenger -- the former Massachusetts governor cautioned the more than 900 supporters in attendance not to rest on their laurels in the final days before the primary.

(37,540 posts)Don't need financial regulation? Is 2008 too far in the past for the average Republican voter to remember? Do Republican voters get a special waiver from the reality of healthcare costs and the resulting bankruptcy that a growing number of Americans are faced with? We had the largest taxcut ever in 2003....how many jobs did the job creators create....here? Pretty much none.

(3,426 posts)I get the impression that almost every word and gesture from Romney is rehearsed. He is most awkward when he's pretending to be a "man of the people." He just comes across as phony. I think many people sense that, even Republicans, which is why he can't get more than 25% support.
