    Romney targets Obama, Santorum in Michigan push

    LANSING, Mich. (AP) — It's a day full of campaigning for Mitt Romney in Michigan, his native state, as he looks for a victory in Tuesday's GOP presidential primary against surging Rick Santorum.

    Romney focused on President Barack Obama during a breakfast event Saturday in Lansing. Romney is promoting lower taxes and spending cuts while accusing the Democratic incumbent of failing to tackle the nation's economic woes.

    But Romney also is challenging Santorum's commitment to conservative principles in light of votes the former Pennsylvania senator says he now regrets.

    Romney says the 2012 election is "an election about the soul of America."

      After talking about all of the people like 20 thousand Amtrak employees he'll fire and all the working class entitlements he'll cut, he offers the wealthy more tax breaks and boasts about his wife's 2 Cadillacs. Go git'em Willard, you're THE MAN.

        Give me a break! Why should the US citizens keep bailing out companies that don't know how to manage their finances. NOBODY, would loan me money if I was in debt. I'd have to file bankruptcy, which the automakers should have. This was the SECOND TIME Chrysler had to be bailed out. Now it's owned by Fiat, and we LOST 4 billion dollars on the deal. How does this make good financial sense?
        At least Romney knows how to handle his finances, which is more than I can say for the American auto industry. American Motors thrived under Mitt Romney's Dad's leadership. It wasn't until after he left that things went downhill for them. Perhaps these auto makers could get some tips from Mitt on how to keep solvent?

      Hey MITT ... why don't you STOP targeting people (aka .. the Sarah Palin) and START telling us how you would help us!
      • john 3 mths ago
        He told you he'd help you by giving himself a great big tax break.

      Romney loves Michigan Trees, but not Michigan people and auto workers.

        That's a typical remark from a liberal. How do I know? because it's so stupid. There should be no bail outs period. The Democrats love hand outs, not thinking it comes out of our pockets. Can't wait for this 'Food Stamp' pres. to go back to his Chicago thugs. Birds of a feather.............
      • Very Nice Guy 3 mths ago
        Ok. So, I say we bring back George Bush and Dick Cheney, or Jeb Bush. How is that, given what the Bush Family has done to the country?

      They had to dummy down Ford Field that seats close to seventy thousand to only twelve hundred with camera angles to make it look like a big crowd.Mitt you are all smoke and mirrors so Y don't you go home and leave Michigan to Rick.Your sincerity is just like that camera that had to shot from an angle to capture what you are really like.A RICH WIND BAGwho loves to fire people and make millions off of that.

        If you watch it of Fox News they use old film footage of other GOP conventions where there are thousands to make it look better for Romney.
      • TEEDUB 3 mths ago
        Thats because it was the "Detroit Business Club" and the pawn shop owners and the drug dealers were not invited. That is why there were 1200 there
      • Linda 3 mths ago
        You are uninformed Sylvia! He was not suppose to have given the speech at Ford Field! The crowd was too large for the venue where the speech had been originally scheduled, and the Detroit Economic Club choose the Ford Field site because it was the only one which was available to accommodate the more than 1200 attendees. The club said that his speech drew the most attendees ever to attend a speech sponsored by the Economic Club. And you Goodguy are completely out of touch! You must have been tuned to CNN or MSNBC and thought you were watching Fox!
    • jd  •  Elmhurst, Illinois  •  3 mths ago
      Yes he is in touch and sincere - a car guy who loves Michigan's trees. I'll wager ten grand and two cadillacs a reduction in the capital gains tax accompanies the proposed 20% IT reduction.
    • john  •  3 mths ago
      I think I'll stick with the candidate that does not want to give himself another tax break if elected...OBAMA 2012
      • Not Convinced 3 mths ago
        Sure , vote for O-bomb-em the WAR CRIMINAL. Remember in 2008 when he said "if I am elected President the first thing I will do is bring the troops home" ? I do , he lied , just like Bush. Vote for real change, vote for HUMANITY, vote for PEACE, vote for LIBERTY!!!! RON PAUL 2012 !!! He will bring the troops home!

      It is amazing how science and especially physics now touches every part of our lives. Electricity, our computers, our cell phones, our TVs and radios, our remote controls, our fuel sources (batteries, solar power, oil, gas, natural gas), the cars and trucks we drive, the refrigerators that cool our food, the bottles and cans that hold our beverages – ALL are made possible or harnessed by science, and at their core, an understanding of physics.

      What a pathetic group of candidates. One wants to deny his liberal past, one wants to be pope of the world, one is an angry short man and one is from planet Claire. Obama wins hand down.
    • Salty Dog  •  3 mths ago
      Romney has no basis to challenge the president, he is not even a citizen; Willard needs to show his birth certificate. The rat is just another illegal alien in America and his bank account in the Bahamas proves it. The GOP has Nobody - Nobody (R) for elected office.
    • cassman  •  Statesboro, Georgia  •  3 mths ago
      Boy, I saw him giving his "economic speech" yesterday in that stadium. Boy, is he dull, predictable, and very uncharismatic? His lawn sprinkler movements really drives me nuts. He is just an opportunist who doesn't know crap, and a huge flip flopper. Run, Mitt, Run!!!
    • G-man  •  3 mths ago
      The repubs have lost sight of what is important. They have no ideas, no vision beyond their crazed hatred of Obama and desperate desire to obtain power. Once in, they abuse their influence in an attempt to consolidate control by voter registration and redistricting. If that's the "soul" Mitt refers, leave me out.

      Yet Mr. Romney still thinks the rescue of the auto industry was wrong. Mr. Romney has had as much time as I to read a dozen or so books on the catastrophe that threatened the global economy. Dare I say the investment community had no taste for any risk then, in that none of them knew from one day to another if they would be the next to fall. Three years, two quantitative easings and an almost 13,000 point DOW have not convinced the great investment titans to accept risk, even with $2 trillion sitting on the sidelines, collecting nothing but dust. Yet, Mr. Romney, a self-proclaimed jobs creator with great business acumen doesn't grasp this. Let him continue in the private business sector until he learns that discretion is the better part of valor. Bravo to former Pres. Bush and Pres. Obama for their courage.

      "Soul of America." Give me a break this pathetic, corporate raider, cardboard cutout, richboy POS has no soul. Who is he kidding.

      "An election about the soul of America." The soul of America is the working class, and Romney doesn't even have a clue!
    • yahoo user  •  3 mths ago

      I enjoy all the 'red meat' conservative talk by the Republicans now. Do not be too disappointed when you do not hear one of these subjects mentioned once a Republican Candidate is chosen.
    • Domino  •  Center Moriches, New York  •  3 mths ago
      Let Romney take the nomination he is done. At this point in time this jack off would screw up a wet dream. He suffers from diarrhea of the mouth like all these republican candidates do. They say one thing one day and the next day they back track. They talk about sex, religion and women but never jobs or how they would straight the mess out that George W Bush left this country in. Their way of putting the country back on track would put us even into a bigger hole. Sadly the uneducated white middle class working class stiff fall for their horse manure with no questions asked. Their hatred for Obama interferes with their common sense and these ash holes vote against their best interest. Oh well its the blind leading the blind so be it. I just hope there is heaven after this hell we are in.

      Romney's economic plan for america: 1) Reduce the size of government by firing people. 2)Cut tax revenue so the government can't pay it's lenders. 3) Let them (government) go bankrupt. 4) Buy up the assets for pennies. 5) Rebrand - The United States of Bain Capitol
