At Monday morning roundtable in Tampa, Romney plays the role of housing counselor, discussing the Florida foreclosure crisis with unemployed professionals.
Bay Stater pinpoints Congress/Fannie/Freddie as the root of the housing crisis.
Romney: “Prices just kept going up and up. You look at that and say, this is a bubble. It’s going to be a disaster.“
Cites lack of responsibility among lenders: “Too many institutions aren’t willing to write it off and say, we made a mistake, we over-leveraged, we loaned too much.”
Simultaneously driving a positive message and attacking requires deft political skill. Since his SC loss, the evidence is Mitt finally gets it but whether he can execute it or not is yet to be seen.
