Mitt Romney: 'I believe the economy's coming back'

With signs the country is emerging from its economic slump, Mitt Romney has begun to blame President Obama for making it far worse than it would have been under a Romney presidency.

“I believe the economy’s coming back, by the way,” he said on Monday. “We’ll see what happens. It’s had ups and downs. I think it’s finally coming back. The economy always comes back after recession, of course. There’s never been one that we didn’t recover from.”

But Romney continued: “The problem is this one has been deeper than it needed to be and a slower recovery than it should have been by virtue of the policies of this president. Almost everything he’s done has made it harder for this economy to recover and that’s from Obamacare to a failed stimulus to massive deficits to Dodd-Frank. The list goes on and on.”

Romney stuck to his theme that he is the only businessman in the Republican presidential race and the only one who can undo the economic damage he believes President Obama has inflicted. “I have the experience of leading and guiding enterprises,” said Romney, who made millions of dollars as the head of a private equity firm.
