CONCORD, N.H. – Mitt Romney said on Thursday he hasn’t been watching the Democratic National Convention and has no plans to tune in for President Obama’s speech, though he acknowledged that he’s heard some details about what the president will address.
“I hear that the president is going to report on the promises he made and how he has performed in those promises, I’d love to watch it,” he told reporters here. “But if it’s another series of new promises that he’s not going to keep, I have no interest in seeing him, because I saw the promises last time. Those are promises he did not keep, and the American people deserve to know why he did not keep his promises.”
Veterans, Romney said, were among those who received promises. After meeting with veterans who have been phone-banking on his behalf, Romney defended his commitment to the military and said it is Obama who has let down those who served in the military.
Romney was recently criticized by members of both political parties for failing to mention the current war in Afghanistan or troops there in his convention speech. Romney brushed off the criticism, pointing to a speech he gave to members of the American Legion in Indianapolis on the day before his convention speech.
