Romney to Santorum: Nice to see you talking about the economy again

“I’m glad he recognizes this has got to be a campaign about the economy,” Romney said. “It’s time for him to really focus on the economy – and for you to all say, ‘Okay, if the economy’s going to be the issue we focus on, who has the experience to actually get this economy going again?”

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, cited his 25-year career as a businessman as evidence that he understands why jobs come and knows what it will take to heal the nation’s ailing economy.

“Sen. Santorum’s a nice guy, but he’s never had a job in the private sector,” Romney said, repeating a line he often uses to attack President Obama. Of Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, Romney added: “He’s worked as a lobbyist, he’s worked as an elected official, and that’s fine, but if the issue of the day is the economy, I think to create jobs it helps to have a guy as president who’s had a job, and I have.”
