Mitt Romney attacked President Obama on Tuesday for making what Mr. Romney described as “disparaging” remarks about Americans, singling out comments over the weekend in which the president said the United States had gotten “lazy” in trying to attract new business.
“Sometimes I just don’t think that President Obama understands America,” Mr. Romney said, on the factory floor of Colite International, which manufactures corporate signs. “Now I say that because this week, or was it last week, he said that Americans are lazy. I don’t think that describes America.”
