Speaking at a fundraiser at a country club in Tampa, Florida, Mitt Romney waded into the debate over economic equality with a call for more reasoned rhetoric — and an attack on President Obama, according to a pool report.
“If I’m fortunate enough to become president, I will not do what this president is doing,” Romney said. “I don’t care what the circumstance is. I am not going to divide America and spend my time attacking any one group of Americans… It’s gotten way too hot, way too vicious, frankly, on both sides of the aisle.”
Romney also took the opportunity to praise the business leaders in the room.
“I know that you get the impression that government doesn’t like you,” he said. “I love you, all right? I love what you do. I want to see entrepreneurs and innovators. I want to see more success. My ambition is to see more and more people able to enjoy the extraordinary benefits of America as you have.”
According to the pool, the fundraiser brought in $2.3 million for Romney.

joisiennaw a year agoHow on Earth are the vicious bipartisan antics we’ve seen for the last 12-15 years President Obama’s fault? Also, the “Occupy” movement polarized economic groups more than he ever has or would.

JeremiahJohnson1 a year agoDoes that mean if he is elected he will do anything the House Republicans put in front of him? For instance, would he agree with their stance on the Violence Against Women Act which would make it harder for undocumented women to leave abusive relationships under threat from their spouses? For the life of me I can’t figure out why House Republicans want to make it harder for women to use the Violence Against Women Act to escape abusive relationships. Would Romney stand up to them or just go along with whatever they say? I am thankful that Obama is fighing this particular fight.
