As to the man who beat him last fall, Romney was hardly charitable toward Obama, whom he criticized sharply over both domestic and foreign policy. "I must admit. It has been hard to watch or read the news," he said. "What we feared would happen, is happening."

So, Mitt Romney is back. Yesterday, he attracted about 200 people to a fundraiser for the New Hampshire Republican Party— not exactly a sellout-sized crowd. He said the typical things you'd expect him to say, including dismissing Ted Cruz's defund Obamacare scheme. So far, yawn. But this is Mitt Romney, and so you knew he would eventually fire off a doozy of a line, and he didn't disappoint I guess that makes sense ... if by "we" Romney meant "me"—and if his greatest fear was becoming irrelevant. But if he's talking about the doomsday predictions the he made about what would happen if President Obama were re-elected, then Romney—with more than 1.5 million new jobs created, unemployment down by a half-point, and the stock market through the roof—should relax a little and learn to enjoy life. He's earned it. (For a change.)
