Mitt Romney Responds to Obama's State of the Union Address

While most of the leading Republican presidential candidates have been fairly quiet in their takes on President Barack Obamas State of the Union address, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who ran for the GOP nod in 2008 and is almost certain to do so again in 2012, offered his view on the speech on Wednesday afternoon.

President Obama knows where he wants to go, but he has no idea how to get there, said Romney. Under President Obama's economic leadership, more Americans have lost their jobs than any time in modern history. The on-the-job economic education of the president has cost American families almost a trillion dollars in failed stimulus schemes and, unfortunately, he's still failing the course. Rhetoric, however soaring, does not put pay checks in pay envelopes at the end of the week. You can't build a high-speed rail system fast enough to outrun the president's misguided regulations, higher taxes or lack of focus on jobs. Hopefully he is learning. American families are depending on him."
