From the Obama campaign:
[As republicans settle on a nominee…
…let’s take a look at some of the unforgettable moments from this unforgettable primary.]
Mitt Romney (r): Corporations are people, my friend.
….I like being able to fire people that provide services to me….
….I was a severely conservative Republican governor….
[Mitt Romney
Memories To Last A LifetimeRemember what he said about women’s health?
Mitt Romney (r): Do I believe the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v Wade? Yes…..
…..Planned Parenthood, we’re going to get rid of that….
….Of course I support the Blunt Amendment….
Greta Van Susteren: The amendment would have let insurers and employers out of providing birth control coverage if they had moral objections.
Mike Huckabee (r): Would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception?
Mitt Romney (r): Absolutely….
[Remember what he said about housing?]
Mitt Romney (r): as to what to do about the housing industry specifically, don’t try and stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom….
[Who could forget “Let Detroit go bankrupt”?]
Mitt Romney (r): Yeah, that, that’s exactly what I said. Let Detroit go bankrupt.
[Remember when he called bringing our troops home before Christmas “tragic”?]
Mitt Romney (r): It is my view that the withdrawal of all of our troops from Iraq is unfortunate. It’s more than unfortunate, I think it’s tragic….
[How about when he said he’d “kill” Obamacare?]
Mitt Romney (r): If I’m president I will repeal Obamacare and I’ll kill it dead on its first day….
[And his plan for immigrants?]
Mitt Romney (r): The question is, if I were elected and Congress were to pass the Dream Act would I veto it? And the answer is, yes.
[Remember when Paul Ryan said Romney would enact his economic plan?]
Reporter:….If Mitt Romney became President of the United States you’re convinced he would follow through [crosstalk]…
Rep. Paul Ryan (r): Yes.
Reporter: …with a lot of the reductions you make.
Rep. Paul Ryan (r): Yes.
[The Ryan plan ends Medicare as we know it – remember?]
Mitt Romney (r):….I applaud it. It’s an excellent piece of work.
….I was a severely conservative Republican governor….
[Mitt Romney
A severely conservative nominee
Remember that.][Obama/Biden]
Any questions?
Remember “etch-a-sketch.” It’s beginning:
Of course, as Dan Balz notes, it’ll be a delicate balancing act for Romney – he has to placate the Christian Nation crazies who turned out for Santorum while not scaring the easily stampeded moderates.
