So, Mitt Romney is back. Yesterday, he attracted
about 200 people to a fundraiser for the New Hampshire Republican Party—
not exactly a sellout-sized crowd. He said the typical things you'd expect him to say, including dismissing Ted Cruz's defund Obamacare scheme. So far, yawn. But this is Mitt Romney, and so you knew he would eventually fire off a doozy of a line, and
he didn't disappoint:
As to the man who beat him last fall, Romney was hardly charitable toward Obama, whom he criticized sharply over both domestic and foreign policy.
"I must admit. It has been hard to watch or read the news," he said. "What we feared would happen, is happening."
I guess that makes sense ... if by "we" Romney meant "me"—and if his greatest fear was becoming irrelevant. But if he's talking about the
doomsday predictions the he made about what would happen if President Obama were re-elected, then Romney—with
more than 1.5 million new jobs created, unemployment
down by a half-point, and the
stock market through the roof—should relax a little and learn to enjoy life. He's earned it. (For a change.)
