Mitt Romney Says Obama Too Cozy With Europe [View all]

LONDON January 11, 2012 (AP)

Europeans awoke Wednesday to find themselves embroiled in the U.S. presidential race.

That's because Republican candidate Mitt Romney used his New Hampshire victory speech early Wednesday to trash European welfare states — and to accuse President Barack Obama of cozying up to Europe while ignoring basic American values.

Romney says Obama is determined to impose a Euro-style welfare state on the United States at the expense of free enterprise.

He says the president seeks inspiration in European capitals, not American towns and cities.
