Hi there,

That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

GOP Hopefuls Bash Obama in New Hampshire

HeadlineJan 06, 2012

The Republican presidential juggernaut has swept into New Hampshire ahead of Tuesday’s primary. On Thursday, the winner of the Iowa caucus, Mitt Romney, and his second-place challenger, Rick Santorum, both took aim at President Obama.

Mitt Romney: “This president is a crony capitalist. He’s a job killer. And it’s going to keep America from creating the jobs we need, for our kids and our grandkids. You know, he said he wanted to create green jobs. I don’t think we understood. He wants to give jobs to the people who gave him the green.”

Rick Santorum: “I don’t think most Americans share the vision that President Obama is selling. That’s why he’s not—that’s why it’s not succeeding. When he goes around and tries to divide America and aligns himself with Occupy Wall Street, says, you know, that they’re—you know, that this dividing of America, 99-1—you know it’s not 99-1. It’s anybody that makes money and pays taxes and everybody who doesn’t. That’s the 99-1.”
