COLUMBIA, S.C. — White House hopeful Mitt Romney on Tuesday criticized President Barack Obama for saying the U.S. had grown “a little bit lazy” in trying to attract business investment.
The Republican former Massachusetts governor spoke from the floor of a Columbia sign-making factory.
“First, sometimes I just don’t think that President Obama understands America,” Romney said. “Now, I say that because this week, or was it last week, he said that Americans are lazy. I don’t think that describes Americans.”
Obama’s campaign spokesman said the president was trying to encourage business leaders to create jobs when he spoke to a gathering of corporate chief executives at a regional economic summit in Hawaii over the weekend.
