Romney’s New Attack: Obama’s A Chicago-Style Crook! [View all]

[RandySF]

So it was inevitable that we’d get to this point. It may have come a little earlier than expected, but of course at some point Mitt Romney would accuse Obama of “Chicago-style” politics. And, like sun rise follows sun set, Romney lobbed the charge at Obama Wednesday after the appointment of Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

“This action represents Chicago-style politics at its worst and is precisely what then-Senator Obama claimed would be ‘the wrong thing to do,” Romney said in a statement after Obama’s high-profile recess appointment.

Thursday morning in New Hampshire, Romney kept it up, attacking Obama for his “crony capitalism,” which blends nicely with the “he’s from Chicago, be afraid” messaging.
