Mitt Romney Reacts To Obama's Convention Speech
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/07/mitt-romney-obama-convention-speech_n_1864847.html
Mitt Romney chose to appear on Fox News Friday in order to respond to President Barack Obama's Thursday night speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Romney said he was disappointed with the speech, which he only read, having indicated earlier he would not be watching Obama. The GOP nominee said there was nothing in it that gave him confidence that the "president knows what he's doing" on jobs and economy.
"As a matter of fact, he hardly even mentioned jobs and the economy," Romney said.
The president's speech mentioned "jobs" 15 times and the "economy" six,] and he predicted more jobs in his second term. The health care law and stimulus were not mentioned specifically.
Romney defended his own omission -- not mentioning war, being the first GOP nominee to do so since 1952.
