Romney Says Obama Did Not Raise Taxes ‘In His First Four Years’
Source: ThinkProgress
Mitt Romney has argued for months that President Obama raised taxes on middle class Americans and small businesses during his first term. But during a rally in Ohio on Tuesday, the GOP presidential candidate inadvertently undermined his claim, calling tax increases a “new idea” that Obama would institute in a second term:
ROMNEY: His idea now. He’s got one new, one new idea. I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years, said he’s going to do in his next four years, which is to raise taxes. And is there anybody who thinks that raising taxes will help grow the economy?

looks like he's thinking, "oh no, not again idiot".
And it ain't Mitt. So sick of his "campaign" walking back everything he says. "No, he didn't really say that. No, he didn't mean that. No, he doesn't believe that." 
he says the President didn't raise taxes during his first term and tries to make it seem like a bad thing, but because he couldn't even get his facts straight, he can't stand by it?
