Romney: America needs a new captain

Mitt Romney uses President Obama’s latest election analogy against him.

“You know, sometimes when I’m talking to my team, I describe us as, you know, I’m the captain and they’re the crew on a ship, it’s going through really bad storms.” Obama said on 60 Minutes. “And no matter how well we’re steering the ship, if the boat’s rocking’ back and forth and people are getting’ sick and, you know, they’re being’ buffeted by the winds and the rain and you know, at a certain point if you’re asking, ‘Are you enjoying the ride right now?’”

Romney’s reply? We need a new captain.
