We will be hearing that until either Romney drops out, or through his campaign against Obama.
Sounds Frank Luntz-ish.

(36,437 posts)2. Totally Frank Luntz
He recently advised capitalists to stop using the term "capitalism" and start using the term "free enterprise." Romney picked that up immediately. Oddly, in an assault on etymology, Luntz also cautioned against using the term "entrepreneur" (despite his love of the term "enterprise" , preferring "job creator." The endless use of the terms "job creator" and "free enterprise" in the media over the last six weeks tells you all you need to know about who writes the copy in the newsrooms.
