"For the president of the United States to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine is going to go down in history as an extraordinary miscalculation."

Said Mitt Romney.

Romney also addressed the president's argument that the federal government should help state and local jurisdictions hire more employees...

"Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time to cut back on government," Romney said....

"I think he's defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people."
