Romney takes 1st step to '12 prez run
WASHINGTON -- Republican Mitt Romney took the first official steps toward a second presidential bid yesterday, telling supporters he had formed an exploratory committee to begin a White House run.
Romney, who has been planning a second run since losing the Republican nomination in 2008, focused in his announcement on the economy and what he called President Barack Obama's failed policies.
"Across the nation, over 20 million Americans still can't find a job or have given up looking," Romney said in a video posted on his website, on Facebook and on Twitter.
"How has this happened in the nation that leads the world in innovation and productivity? The answer is that President Obama's policies have failed." -- AP
