CHARLOTTE, NC — Team Romney apparently didn’t need to listen to President Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in order to decide how to respond to it. President Obama is currently still on stage delivering his remarks, but the Romney campaign has already sent out an email blast entitled “Romney for President Issues Statement on President Obama’s Speech To The Democratic National Convention.”
“Tonight President Obama laid out the choice in this election, making the case for more of the same policies that haven’t worked for the past four years. He offered more promises, but he hasn’t kept the promises he made four years ago,” the statement said. “Americans will hold President Obama accountable for his record – they know they’re not better off and that it’s time to change direction. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will restore America’s promise and deliver a better future for our country.”
Excerpts of the President’s speech were distributed by the Obama campaign about three hours ago, but Team Romney clearly didn’t wait for the full speech to air before sending out their rebuttal. Team Romney’s statement was sent out approximately seven minutes ago. It was simply attributed to the campaign and not to any specific staffer.
