Romney criticized Obama's economic policy on traditionally conservative lines, warning that health care, education, and national service plans would lead to "universal government," and also took aim at one Obama statement. The president was "misguided and naive" for telling Al Arabiya that America had in the past "dictated" to other countries.
But Romney, seeking to emerge as a key figure in a divided party, also insisted on offering positive alternatives, and warned conservatives off negativity.
"In the last eight years, we saw how a president’s political adversaries could be consumed by anger, and even hatred. That is not the spirit that brings us together. We want our country to succeed, no matter who’s in power. We want America to be prosperous and secure, regardless of who gets the credit. At our best, that has always been the mark of the conservative movement — in good times and bad, the interests of this great nation come first. "
