Your support matters…Bloomberg:
Romney, 64, is focusing his second bid for the White House on the economy and job creation as the country struggles to rebound from the worst downturn since the Great Depression. The former venture capitalist, who co-founded Boston-based private equity firm Bain Capital LLC, vowed that as president he would cut federal spending and put the country on course to a quicker recovery.
In his remarks to a crowd gathered at a chili cookout in Stratham, New Hampshire, Romney attacked Obama for failing to create jobs, a lagging housing market, and high federal spending.
“Barack Obama has failed America,” said Romney. “When he took office, the economy was in recession and he made it worse and he made it last longer.”
