HAZELTON, Pa. (Official Wire) — Mitt Romney is trying to steer his bus tour back to middle-class economic issues as he visits three communities in Pennsylvania following a detour caused by President Barack Obama’s new policy on the deportation of young illegal immigrants.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee plans to keep up his focus on jobs and the economy, arguing that he’s the candidate who will give average Americans a “fair shot” at prosperity.
Romney is targeting smaller cities and towns through the state’s conservative midsection. He planned stops Saturday at a casting and machine company in Weatherly, a convenience store in Quakertown and an old iron furnace in Cornwall that’s now a national historic landmark.
The tour is intended to challenge Obama in states where he’s strong — the president won Pennsylvania in 2008, and no Republican has won the state since 1988. In 2008, Republican nominee John McCain won two of the counties Romney plans to visit.

“The GREAT OBAMA – magician” waves his left hand frenetically while he sticks his right into your pocketbook and kicks the Constitution aside!
Romney keeps saying he will put people to work and create jobs. I have not heard him say how he is going to make that happen. Should we take his word for it or ask him HOW?? Is he going to expand the Government and hire people to gill those jobs. Wages paid for by the taxpayers. Will he lower taxes so people will have more money to feed back into the ecomomy. Does he plan to raise taxes so there are less people working who pay taxes. I would like to know more about how he is going to implement his plans We already know what the illegal, phony, lying POTS plans are, Help destroy the US and what it stands for. Maybe this is his way of repaying his friends and making new ones. What are his plans for the Middle East, ourborders. Too many unanswered questions for me. If Ron Paul was elected we know what he would do. He does not change horses. He is steadfast in what he believes and would lead according to OUR Constitution. Ron Paul cann ot win if his supporters listen to the Media and give up on him. If he asked Allen West to be his VP that would be a kick-ass ticket and he would win.
