Votes: 2200

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, an unsuccessful contender for the 2008 Republican party nomination for president, speaking on the CNN program "American Morning" on May 7, 2008. Speaking about Senator Barack Obama, Romney said:

"He can read a prompter very well and energize a crowd, but he has not accomplished anything during his life in terms of legislation or leading an enterprise or making a business work or a city work or a state work. He really has very little experience, and, you know, the presidency of the United States is not an internship, and I honestly believe that you're going to see America choose somebody who has been tested and proven who has been able to demonstrate time and again that he understands how to make the economy work, he understands how our military works, he understands the needs of the country and the heart and passion of the American people."

In October 2007, while speaking at a Chamber of Commerce meeting, Romney embarassed himself when he accused Obama of "calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq."

Romney apparently was referring to an audiotape aired on Monday, October 22, 2007, in which a speaker believed to be terrorist Osama bin Laden called for insurgents in Iraq to unite and avoid divisions.
