Mitt Romney broke from some of his Republican Party peers yesterday when he urged supporters to support President Barack Obama.
Rather than rooting for his failure, said Romney, Americans of all political leanings should stand strong behind their commander in chief: “[I] think it’s important for us to nod to the president when he’s right … He will not always be wrong."
Still, Romney wasn’t all sunshine and delight. When he ran last year in the Republican primary, Romney said that the president needs to realize the nation is still split and should not take his victory last November as a mandate to do things entirely his own way. The rest of Democrats must also reach that realization, insisted the former Massachusetts governor: "The Democrats are trying to use this crisis as a way to advance their philosophy of the supremacy of government, and I don’t think [voters are] being fooled."
It’s possible that Romney truly believes in Barack Obama’s tactics, but it’s also possible that he’s trying to strike a conciliatory tone (way) ahead of the 2012 presidential election, in which some believe he’ll be a front-runner for his party’s nomination. Regardless of Mr. Romney’s motives, it’s nice to see some soothing words come from the right, rather than the vitriol that some have thrown in the president’s direction.
