Gloves Are Off: Romney Goes After Obama's Grip!

Jennifer Jacobs reports that Republican hopeful Mitt Romney took a jab at President Barack Obama for his upcoming Christmas vacation and expected multiple rounds of golf.

In a tele-town hall meeting tonight with Iowans, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney criticized President Barack Obama as someone who “watches affairs and has not guided affairs.”

“The other day I understand that Chris Christie said that he was a bystander president. That he watches affairs and has not guided affairs,” Romney said during the 30-minute telephone call, referring to the governor of New Jersey, who has endorsed Romney.

“And in some respects, his idea of a ‘hands on’ approach to the economy is getting a grip on his golf club. He’s going off for 17 days in Hawaii,” Romney said.

Romney made the comments in this "tele-town hall" from his San Diego, uh, large home.
