'It's still the economy... and we're not stupid'



  • Romney comfortably won five primaries in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,, Rhode Island and Delaware
  • Delivered remarks to supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire
  • Challenged promises of 'hope and change' by Obama campaign
  • Lays plan to push back against the notion that as a venture capitalist he is a out of touch with ordinary Americans



  • ‘Four years ago Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change,’ he said. ‘But after we came down to earth, after the celebration and parades, what do we have to show for three and a half years of President Obama?

    ‘Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it easier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement? Are you making more in your job? Do you have a better chance to get a better job? Do you pay less at the pump?’

    Promising that he knew ‘how to lead us out of this stagnant Obama economy and into a job-creating recovery’, he predicted ‘a campaign of diversions, distractions, and distortions’ over the next six months.

    ‘That kind of campaign may have worked at another place over in a different time. But not here and not now. It’s still about the economy …and we’re not stupid.’

    He added: ‘Americans have always been eternal optimists, but over the last three and a half years, we have seen hopes and dreams diminished by false promises and weak leadership. Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired.’
