At an event in Iowa Thursday, Mitt Romney took on President Obama for saying the economy could be worse, saying: “When the president’s characterization of our economy was, ‘It could be worse,’ it reminded me of Marie Antoinette: ‘Let them eat cake,’” reports the Huffington Post.
The comment fits into Romney’s latest attacks on Obama, trying to paint him as a pessimist while Mitt, as he says in his ads, believes in America.
