As Romney Jabs at Obama, His Rivals Swing at Him
Michael D. Shear & Susan Saulny, NY Times
Mitt Romney on Friday slammed President Obama for failing the American people and accused him of dragging “the soul of America” toward a “European-style welfare state.”
Speaking to a crowd of several hundred people at a peanut warehouse here, Mr. Romney did not mention new data showing that the country added 200,000 jobs in December, sending the unemployment rate to its lowest level in three years. The better-than-expected jobs data was released just moments before Mr. Romney took the stage in South Carolina.
“We’re taking it back!” Mr. Romney said of the White House before returning to New Hampshire for the final weekend before the voting in there. “We’re taking it back!”
Flanked by Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina and Senator John McCain of Arizona, who won this state in 2008, Mr. Romney continued his criticism of Mr. Obama’s leadership.
