McCain - Gov. Mitt Romney On CNN's "American Morning"

"[Barack Obama] has consistently voted with his party on the most partisan issues and put his party and personal interests ahead of those of the nation. I think, [he's] been unable during his career at any time to reach across the aisle, find compromise, find ways to get things done other than simply towing the party line." -- Gov. Mitt Romney

Gov. Mitt Romney
CNN's "American Morning"
June 26, 2008

CNN's John Roberts: "Joining me now from Boston is one-time Republican presidential candidate and current McCain supporter, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Governor, it's good to see you. What's this all about, this idea that Senator Obama is putting his party's and his own self-interest ahead of those of the nation?"

Gov. Mitt Romney: "Well, you have in Barack Obama, I think, a very charming individual that a lot of people are attracted to. He's well spoken and thoughtful, but the fact and reality is that he's not a very experienced person, and he's somebody who has not shown, if you will, the kind of leadership I think America needs right now at such a critical time. He has consistently voted with his party on the most partisan issues and put his party and personal interests ahead of those of the nation. I think, [he's] been unable during his career at any time to reach across the aisle, find compromise, find ways to get things done other than simply towing the party line. I think people feel we've had too much of that in Washington and that's, in part, why I think John McCain will be successful. His reputation and record is as a leader who reaches across the line. Sometimes he's thumbed his nose at his own party and said, 'Look you guys are wrong. ' He does what he thinks is right."

Watch Gov. Mitt Romney.
