Reaction to Romneys Economic Speech: All About Obama, Uniformly NegativeBy: Sarah Jones at Politicus USA

"SNIP............................................
Despite promising that he was indeed finally laying out major economic news of a Romney plan, Mitt Romney stumbled his way through a stump speech attack on Obama that included no economic news, no specifics, but tons of negativity aimed at the President.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Ames, Iowa, Romney failed to impress. Heres a roundup of reaction:
Ali Velshi: They said this was major economic news. There wasnt a piece of economic news in it.
Gloria Borger: This wasnt so much about, you know, specific policy prescriptions. Nothing new right now.
...............................................SNIP"
(and many, many more negative comments)

...predicted what he was going to say. It's the same song and dance he's given all election season - "Obama this, Obama that...." Even his supporters want to know what his economic plan is.

(36,437 posts)3. Romney will not give a single specific policy
He has to see which way the wind is blowing at any one time, who has the most cash on hand to bankroll his next wackadoo project.
He refuses to be held to anything. His word is mush.
