President Obama: What Kind Of 'Inside Job' Is Romney Talking About?

_________________




President Obama in Virginia yesterday:

You know it’s funny -- I made this point in Florida -- I said one of the things I learned after four years, it reminded me that change doesn't come from the inside; you got to change Washington from the outside. And you change it with the help of ordinary Americans who are willing to have their voices heard. And for some reason, this got Governor Romney really excited. And he rewrote his speech, and he stood up at a rally and he proudly declared, I’ll get the job done from the inside -- which got me thinking, what kind of inside job are you talking about?

Because if it’s the inside job of rubber-stamping the top-down, lobbyist-driven agenda of this Republican Congress, we don't want that.

AUDIENCE: No!





THE PRESIDENT: If it’s the inside job of letting oil companies write energy policy, insurance companies writing health care policy, outsourcers writing our tax code, we don't need that.

AUDIENCE: No!

THE PRESIDENT: If it’s the inside job of trying to control the health care choices that women are perfectly capable of making themselves, we’ll take a pass on that.

We don't need an inside job. We want change in Washington. And I’ve always said that change takes more than one term or one President. It takes more than one party. It can't happen if you write off half the nation before you take office.
