| Description | Mitt Romney scrambled to do some damage control after he suggested it was time to "hang" President Obama in a speech in New Hampshire Friday night.
The former Massachusetts governor and probable 2012 presidential candidate was speaking at a dinner when he said in response to an attendee's question, "Reagan came up with this great thing about the 'misery index' and he hung that around Jimmy Carter's neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing. Well we're going to have to hang the 'Obama Misery Index' around his neck."
Romney went on to describe how people in the U.S. are suffering because of high fuel prices, foreclosures and bankruptcies.
"We're going to hang him with that," Romney said before catching himself and adding, "so to speak, metaphorically."
Seeming to know that he had just severely misspoke, Romney then added, "You have to be careful these days." |
