The moderate-conservative Republican continues his criticism of his former Harvard Law classmate: "Former U.S. Rep. Artur Davis ripped President Barack Obama in a new statement released [yesterday] by the Mitt Romney campaign, saying that Obama's 'best efforts have not worked.'
Davis, a former Birmingham Democrat and Obama supporter who recently switched parties, was responding to comments made by Obama in an interview Thursday.
The president said in an appearance on Univision, a Spanish-language broadcaster, that 'you can't change Washington from the inside.'"
More from Mr. Davis, about President Obama: "Davis said the comment indicated that Obama's promises of 'hope and change' rang hollow. 'I can’t remember the last time a presidency surrendered all of its promise as well as its promises so completely,' Davis said. 'A pledge to cut spending has turned into trillion dollar deficits, a pledge to retire the negative spin masters has turned into the most slashing negative campaign in the modern era, and ‘hope and change’ has given way to a sad song about how little power presidents have and to a confession that change is just too hard. Americans searching for a choice this November just got their latest confirmation that Barack Obama’s best efforts just haven’t worked. One more reason to give Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan a chance to undo the failed potential and the broken promises.'"
