This can’t be good for his flip-flopping image. The Boston Phoenix has discovered that potential 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made edits to his 2010 book “No Apology” to be more in line with today’s Tea Party rhetoric.
In the original book, Romney says that President Obama‘s 2009 stimulus package will accelerate recovery, but could do more. In the newly-released paperback version of the book Romney goes after it. “This is the first time government has declared war on free enterprise,” he writes, according to the Phoenix. He’s also changed his tone regarding ObamaCare, now calling for its repeal. (As Massachusetts governor Romney signed off on a similar health care plan).
Eric Fehrnstrom, spokesman for Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC, told the Phoenix: “The book was originally written in the months immediately following President Obama’s inauguration,” Fehrnstrom wrote in an e-mail. “A lot has occurred over the last two years, and these updates reflect those happenings.”
