Obama slams Romney as ‘Robin Hood in reverse’

Oba

STAMFORD - US President Barack Obama joked Monday that his election foe Mitt Romney’s tax plans would rob from the middle class to help the rich — “like Robin Hood in reverse.” Obama intensified his attacks on the Republican’s tax reform plans at a fundraising event in Connecticut, on a day when it was revealed his rival outraised him by $25 million last month in campaign fundraising. “It’s like Robin Hood in reverse.... it’s Romney Hood,” Obama said, arguing that the middle class would bear the brunt of his opponent’s plans which he said would mostly benefit the wealthy. “If this sounds like an idea that’s difficult to explain or sell to the American people, you would be right,” Obama said. “They have tried to sell us this trickle down, tax cut fairy dust before.”
