Mitt Romney seems to be casting himself as a somewhat reluctant possible presidential candidate, and not the ambitious politician that people usually think of — declaring he’s not immediately running for president, but that his eventual decision will be influenced in part by the job that he thinks President Obama is doing.
“I’m doing what’s necessary, if you will, to keep options open,” Romney told Milwaukee-based TV host Mike Gousha. Romney said that family concerns come first, of course, but so does the overall national situation and Obama’s performance.
“Clearly, if President Obama happened to be doing a great job, as I had hoped he would do when he got elected, why, that would influence my thoughts,” Romney said. “But instead, he’s taken the country in a very dangerous direction, and that makes it far more likely that folks are gonna think about getting in and removing him from office.”
