Obama and Romney campaign gaffes

In January, Mitt Romney gave his opponents ammunition when he said, "I like being able to fire people," during a campaign event in New Hamphshire.

He made the comment while touting a health care approach that would allow people to purchase their own insurance.

“It also means that if you don’t like what they do, you can fire them,” Romney said. “I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. If someone doesn’t give me the good service I need, I want to say, you know, I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.”
