Romney Is Back, Disappointed of Obama’s 2nd Term Agenda


romney.jpgMitt Romney is back. He won’t be running for office again. Hence, he is not giving up on helping the Republican party moving forward in backing candidates in the midterm elections, and speaking out on national issues. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Romney reflected on President Barack Obama’s second term, and the spate of recent controversies surround the White House:

“Even more disappointing than the controversies has been the lack of any clear agenda in the first 100 days. A person running for president who is not an incumbent puts together a transition team. And I did that. President Obama did that in his 2008 campaign. We had several hundred people who were working on a voluntary basis laying out what my agenda would be in the first 100 days: legislation filed, regulations rewritten, executive orders rewritten. And so forth. All of this designed to jumpstart the economy, get us more globally competitive, and help the middle class. We were thinking, gosh, we have 100 days to really get the ball rolling. So I presumed the president would have the same kind of effort under way.

“And yet the only thing that has come forward has been immigration reform, which is very important, and that has been done entirely by the Senate.

“We are now over 100 days, and we have yet to see any particular agenda. That is my view, that the extraordinary disappointment of the president’s second term is where the opportunity was greatest, he has proposed the least. He continues to campaign as if there is another election, and there isn’t.”
