While Mitt and Ann Romney were enjoying time with family over Memorial Day weekend at their home in New Hampshire, they had a few extra guests. Jamie Gangle, national news correspondent from TODAY and her crew dropped by to ask Mitt a few questions about his upcoming presidential bid…
As Mitt Romney prepares to officially roll out his presidential campaign later this week, he’s giving President Barack Obama an ‘F’ for the last two years.
“It’s failed,” the former Massachusetts governor said of the Obama presidency in an interview taped over the weekend at his New Hampshire home that aired Tuesday morning on NBC’s “Today.”
“He’s been one of the most ineffective presidents at the job at hand that I’ve ever seen,” Romney said. “The number one issue he faced walking in the door was an economy in fast decline. He didn’t cause it, but he made things worse.”
Romney, who is set to formally launch his campaign on Thursday, said he’s running because “I believe I can get our economy going again.”

“If I become president, I will repeal Obamacare,” he said, repeating a promise he’s made central to his campaign. “My bill was 70 pages. His bill is 2,700 pages. In those extra 2,630 pages, he’s doing a lot of stuff that is just devastating to the health care system in this country. He’s wrong.”Romney and his wife Ann also pushed back against the perception that he’s too buttoned-up. He uses an iPad to listen to country music and the Beatles, he said, and has read the “Twilight” books.

Nice one Jayde, what a great interview, the Governor is a very impressive candidate….
Thanks, Evelio. Gov Romney gives great interviews.
I’m looking forward to many more!
That was one of the first interviews that I thought depicts Mitt Romney as he really is. If people were to know more about his faith, they would be impressed how deeply devoted he is to his God. I hope there are more interviews with him that will show how impressive his true character really is.
VOTE that you love the idea of Mitt running for President at http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/05/31/2011-05-31_mitt_romney_2012_republican_presidential_hopeful_gives_president_obama_a_failing.html?r=news
With you in the White House, we can picture more jobs, more wealth in our country, More Freedom to succeed, and less Government exerting it’s power over us!!
We want our old country back again!! We want to keep our home, because of those who raised our interest rates, so our payment is too high, and threatening to go higher…a home we have worked our whole lives to be able to afford, and now we may just lose it…because we cannot even sell it, as other homes in the neighborhood cause our value to be 1/2 of what we owe…We are in our 70′s…and don’t have too many more options…but, we are still being taxed out of sight….and paying huge amounts into our Social Security…as if it was still going to be there tomorrow..Is there any way you know to turn our country around…?
@Kathleen Nooner Federal taxes are the lowest they’ve been since 1950. Now, state and local taxes, including real estate and other property taxes, I know what you mean. Housing prices are falling, but the taxes on the property are not falling. We had to move to find work and haven’t been able to sell the house we left behind. We leased it out, and now we’re having to pay to fix the damage. We’re stuck, just like you are. Except, I guess we’re less fortunate than you are in at least two ways; we won’t have social security or medicare to rely on if the Ryan wing of the GOP gets its way, even though we’ve paid into it for 30+ years. I hope you appreciate what our age group has done for your age group!
