Quote:VOICEOVER: “What would a Romney Presidency be like?” VIDEO TEXT: “Day 1” VOICEOVER: “Day one, President Romney immediately approves the Keystone pipeline, creating thousands of jobs that Obama blocked.” VOICEOVER: “President Romney introduces tax cuts and reforms that reward job creators, not punish them.” VOICEOVER: “President Romney issues order to begin replacing Obamacare with commonsense health care reform.” VOICEOVER: “That’s what a Romney Presidency will be like.” MITT ROMNEY: “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”
Quote: Having already aired advertisements describing what he'd do on "Day 1" in the White House, Mitt Romney explained on Wednesday what he'd do over another 99 days. Romney laid out what he'd do in the first 100 days of a Romney administration. Earlier Wednesday, the campaign released a graphic on "How a Romney Presidency Would be Different." "I will in my first 100 days take action to eliminate government programs, to send a lot of government programs back to states where I limit the rate of growth at inflation, and to cut back the number of federal employees through attrition," Romney said. "And by the way, to link the pay of government workers with the pay that exists in the private sector. And those things save about $500 billion a year by my fourth year in office, if I am lucky enough to be elected, and get us to a balanced budget within eight to 10 years." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/13/romney-details-first-100-days-says-obamas-words-are-cheap/
Quote:Romney repeated a new line of attack against the president – a slam that's being cited as taking the president's words out of context. "The other day, when he was asked, 'Do you understand that particular small businesses [are] having a hard time because of Obamacare?' He said he didn't know – he hadn't heard that small businesses were affected by Obamacare, negatively," Romney told the CEOs, referring to the president. It turns out, that's not exactly what the president said. During a Tuesday interview with a local television from Iowa, the president was asked about the impact of the nation's health reform law on small businesses. The interviewer told the president that an Iowa company said it had to close and move jobs to Wisconsin, as a "direct result of the health care reform that you initiated, that Congress passed." "How do you react to that?" the reporter asked. The president responded: "That would be kind of hard to explain. Because the only folks that have been impacted in terms of the health care bill are insurance companies who are required to make sure that they're providing preventive care, or they're not dropping your coverage when you get sick. And so, this particular company probably wouldn't have been impacted by that."Same
