Romney Switches Gears, Says Obama Hasn't Raised Taxes

If you're going to change your story, Mitt, try something that's both helpful and true

Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Obama did not raise taxes during his first term, contradicting a constant attack he has leveled on Obama — that his healthcare plan was a tax increase.

"I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years — he's said he's going to do in the next four years — which is to raise taxes. And is there anyone who thinks raising taxes will help grow the economy? No!" Romney told thousands gathered at a chilly tarmac rally. "His plan is to continue what he's done before. The status quo has not worked. We cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama. We're not going to have four more years of Barack Obama."
