Transcript: Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick

771 views

This is the election of a lifetime. Because more than any one candidate or policy, what's at stake is the American dream. That dream--the ability to imagine a better way for ourselves and our families and then reach for it--is central to who we are and what we stand for as a nation. Whether that dream endures for another generation depends on you and me. It depends on who leads us, too.

In Massachusetts, we know Mitt Romney. By the time he left office, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation--during better economic times--and household income in our state was declining. He cut education deeper than anywhere else in America. Roads and bridges were crumbling. Business taxes were up, and business confidence was down. Our clean energy potential was stalled. And we had a structural budget deficit. Mitt Romney talks a lot about all the things he's fixed. I can tell you that Massachusetts wasn't one of them. He's a fine fellow and a great salesman, but as governor he was more interested in having the job than doing it.

When I came to office, we set out on a different course: investing in ourselves and our future. And today Massachusetts leads the nation in economic competitiveness, student achievement, health care coverage, life sciences and biotech, energy efficiency and veterans' services. Today, with the help of the Obama administration, we are rebuilding our roads and bridges and expanding broadband access. Toda.

    Deval Patrick Speech At 2012 Democratic Convention: Massachusetts Governor Attacks Mitt Romney

    Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D), a longtime surrogate of President Barack Obama, used his unique vantage point as governor of Massachusetts to attack the record of his predecessor, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

    'Mitt Romney talks a lot about all the things he's fixed. I can tell you that Massachusetts was not one of them,' Patrick said to applause. 'He's a fine fellow and a great salesman, but as governor he was a lot more interested in having the job than doing the job.'

    He linked the differences between himself and Romney to the 2012 election: 'The same choice faces the nation today. All that today's Republicans are saying is that if we just shrink government, cut taxes, crush unions and wait, all will be well.'

    Patrick touted Obama's decision to order the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden, ending the war in Iraq, starting the process to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, the Lily Ledbetter law, ending 'don't ask, don't tell,' and other moves.

    'With a record and a vision like that, I will not stand by and let him be bullied out of office -- and neither should you.' That line drew roaring applause from the crowd.

    Patrick is a longtime friend and ally of Obama, having been an early endorser of him. Patrick grew up on the South Side of Chicago, where Obama spent significant time as a community organizer. They

    Deval Patrick tells convention that Mitt Romney failed Massachusetts

    In one of his most forceful rebukes of his predecessor, Governor Deval Patrick said that Mitt Romney “talks a lot about all the things he’s fixed, but I can tell you Massachusetts wasn’t one of them,” according to remarks prepared for delivery Tuesday night.

    Patrick’s speech, about an hour before first lady Michelle Obama, sought to rally the party faithful at the Democratic National Convention.
    Patrick has been performing a similar role in front of Democratic groups throughout the country, energizing party activists, increasing his visibility, and raising money for his political action committee. Patrick also appeared on cable news Tuesday morning and addressed the state delegation, making a similar argument against Romney.

    But Tuesday night was an opportunity to showcase his close-up critique of Romney to a larger audience. He planned to call Romney “a fine fellow and a great salesman,” while adding that “as governor, he was more interested in having a job than doing it.” The lines are typical of Patrick, highly critical without sounding personal or angry, while offering a backhanded compliment.

    “In Massachusetts, we know Mitt Romney,” Patrick said.
    Patrick then included a list of charges against Romney’s tenure from 2003 through 2007: that Massachusetts was 47th in job creation; that household income was declining; that educat
