Romney Recession Claim Wrong
Mitt Romney’s campaign has focused on attacking President Obama’s economic record. Romney has said repeatedly, “When he took office, the economy was in recession. He made it worse.” This claim is false, writes Steve Benen of Washington Monthly. NBC’s Sue Kroll asked Romney why he believes that Obama’s policies have made the economy worse. Romney’s response: “I didn’t say that things are worse … What I said was that economy hasn’t turned around.”
