Mitt Romney and the RNC are already hitting President Obama ahead of his major economic speech in Ohio this afternoon, accusing the president of being all talk and no action. Speaking at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday Mitt Romney said, “My own view is that he will speak eloquently, but the words are cheap.” 

The RNC picked up the idea Thursday morning, sending out an email suggestion Obama “has nothing new to offer…But An Eleventh ‘Major’ Economy Speech With No New Ideas.”

The email pushes the idea that Obama is all talk and no action. From the email:
