Mitt Romney slammed Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday for making what Romney called an “outrageous charge” — evidence, he said, of “an angry and desperate presidency.”
Romney, using some of his most pointed language to date on the campaign trail, accused Obama of running a “campaign of division and anger and hate,” and specifically objected to comments Biden had made earlier Tuesday to a crowd in Virginia.
The vice president suggested that Romney and the Republicans intend to roll back Wall Street regulations and “put y’all back in chains.”
That remark drew a sharp response from Romney’s campaign, which called it a “new low.” Romney picked up on that line of attack at the campaign stop in Ohio, rolling out a speech he had spent �the last two days writing. In it, he pilloried the president�s record and accused him of being �intellectually exhausted.�
�His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency,� Romney told a crowd of thousands gathered here at the final stop on his five-state bus tour. �Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower. This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like.”
