During his victory speech in the New Hampshire primary, Mitt Romney kicked off his general-election message for 2012 against President Barack Obama, by briefly looking back on the 2008 election.
“We do remember when Barack Obama came to New Hampshire four years ago. He promised to bring people together. He promised to change the broken system in Washington. He promised to improve our nation.
“Those were the days of lofty promises, made by a hopeful candidate. Today we’re faced with the disappointing record of a failed president. The last three years have held a lot of change, but they haven’t offered much hope.”
