Change Quote by Mitt Romney
“Hope and Change had a powerful appeal. But tonight Id ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldnt you feel that way now that hes President Obama? You know theres something wrong with the kind of job hes done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him.”
