VANDALIA, Ohio — Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Obama did not raise taxes during his first term, contradicting a constant attack he has leveled on Obama — that his healthcare plan was a tax increase.

“I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years — he’s said he’s going to do in the next four years — which is to raise taxes. And is there anyone who thinks raising taxes will help grow the economy? No!” Romney told thousands gathered at a chilly tarmac rally. “His plan is to continue what he’s done before. The status quo has not worked. We cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama. We’re not going to have four more years of Barack Obama.”

LOL...more nonsense from Vomit!

It's amazing that this race is still "tied."

How could this man have gotten as far as he has in life and be this damn stupid? I keep telling myself that he can't possibly be as dumb as he is coming across in the media then he opens his mouth.

Some folks like their leaders like that.
It makes them feel smarter, I guess.

Come this far in life?

Dude was BORN a millionaire. That might have helped just a wee bit.

Oh sure. No question. But I just keep think even when he was running Bain or the Gov of Mass, he had to have SOME smarts, right? He can't possibly be as stupid as is showing himself to be in this campaign. And the he goes and makes a comment about how he doesn't understand why the windows on airplanes don' roll down. Jesus, he is starting to make Sarah Palin look like a Mensa candidate.

Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and George Bush were governors. That doesn't set the bar high.
