Obama On Romney 2016: ‘I Have No Comment’
Published at
ABC/ DONNA SVENNEVIK(WASHINGTON) – In the midst of a press conference on Friday regarding the topics of sanctions in Iran and the ongoing terror threat in Europe, President Obama was asked a question on the 2016 general election.
The question from ABC News’ Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl asked the president his quick reaction to Mitt Romney’s widely reported consideration of another run in 2016.
“I have no comment,” Obama told Karl with a smile, before swiftly moving on.
Romney is set to speak on Friday from a podium aboard the USS Midway in San Diego as part of the Republican National Committee festivities there.
The speech will be his Romney’s major public appearance – certainly before party leadership – since telling donors privately last week that he is serious about possibly running again.
