“This is a social visit, not a political trip,” the aide says. “Governor Romney has deliberately avoided injecting himself into the political discussion while President Obama laid out his agenda and congressional leaders responded.”

But Romney isn’t retiring from public life. “As events unfold, Governor Romney will speak out more on the issues of the day, including the need to create jobs and restore economic prosperity, and how best America can maintain its leadership position in the world.”
