Obama mocks Romney... [View all]
<snip>
WASHINGTON -- Thought the 2012 presidential campaign was over? Think again.
President Barack Obama didn't have much to say about Mitt Romney's rekindled aspirations for the White House when he delivered a flat, "No comment," earlier this month. But apparently he couldn't resist much longer, following reports that the former GOP candidate was weighing entering the ring in 2016 on a platform focused on lifting up the middle class and eliminating poverty.
Addressing House Democrats at their annual retreat in Philadelphia on Thursday night, Obama referred to one “former presidential candidate” who was "suddenly deeply concerned about poverty."
"That's great. Lets do something about it," Obama said, according to a White House pool report.
Romney fired back on Twitter, by noting poverty levels under the Obama administration.
"Mr. Obama, wonder why my concern about poverty? The record number of poor in your term, and your record of failure to remedy," Romney said.
