Mitt Romney on Tuesday defended his tax plan after President Obama said it amounted to “Romney-hood” by taking from the poor and giving to the rich, labeling the charge “Obamaloney.”

“We’ve been watching the president say a lot of things about me and my policies, and they’re just not right,” Romney told Fox News’ Carl Cameron. “If I were to coin a term it would be Obamaloney. He’s serving up a dish which is simply in contradiction of the truth, and it relates to everything from how I’m going to help the middle class to tax policy. He’s just simply saying things that are not accurate.”

At a fundraiser in Connecticut on Monday night, Obama said of Romney’s plan: “It’s like Robin Hood in reverse — it’s Romney-hood.”
