Former Massachusetts governor and expected Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney stood in front of several women business leaders in Chantilly Wednesday morning to speak about the economy and its impact on small businesses.
Romney slammed President Obama for not improving the economy, for not having private sector experience and for running an administration that is the most "anti-small business" since the Carter administration. CBS News pointed out that this was the second time in three days that Romney has compared Obama to Carter, a Democrat president who only served one term.
According to poll results released Tuesday, Romney is trailing Obama in Virginia by eight points.
Romney will be holding a fundraiser Wednesday evening at Pentagon City, and Gov. McDonnell is expected to attend.

Mit & Ann is our perfect first couple and they will not throw Israel under the bus. God Bless them and guide them all the way the to White House. Mit is a very smart and decent human being. He will lead our country in the right direction and back to God.

Interesting video, but Mr. Romney forgot to mention that jobs have been added to the U.S. economy for the last 30 months in a row (as compared to losing about 850,000 jobs per month back in 2007).
Also, unemployment has dropped again, from 8.3% to 8.1%. And planned layoffs for U.S companies dropped 12.5% from July, representing a 37% decrease when compared to one year ago.
He mentions how median income is down, but it is interesting to note that median income also went down for 5 years in a row, between the years 1999 and 2004.
