Romney: Obama 'Awfully European'
Mitt Romney ridiculed President Barack Obama for his "awfully European" economic policies at a town hall Friday morning, using the May unemployment report to beat up on the White House.
"Barack Obama has failed America, " Romney said, repeating a line from his announcement speech Thursday. "And so today, three years into his term, we have more news that unemployment has ticked up again."
The Labor Department reported Friday that unemployment had risen to 9.1 percent in May, just a few minutes before Romney began his first New Hampshire town hall of the 2012 cycle here in Manchester.
