Axe on Mitt: “If he thinks he’s an economic heavyweight - he must be looking at a funhouse mirror”
Mitt Romney is casting himself as an “economic heavyweight” to draw sharp contrasts between himself and both President Barack Obama and Republican primary challenger Rick Santorum.
On Sunday, Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod begged to differ.
“If he thinks he’s an economic heavyweight, he must be looking at a funhouse mirror,” Axelrod quipped on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” citing the oft-repeated line that while Romney was governor of Massachusetts, the Bay State ranked 47th out of the 50 states in job creation.
In his latest campaign swing through Illinois, which holds its GOP presidential primary on Tuesday, Romney proclaimed himself the best candidate to turn around the economy.
