Hillary Clinton May Run in 2016 Help - Video
Mitt Romney spoke about poverty in a speech in the nations poorest state this evening -- while directly taking aim at Hillary Clinton, saying she cluelessly pressed a reset button for Russia.
Romney addressed students at Mississippi State University, and in excerpts provided to ABC News today before the speech by an aide, Romney outlined an early line of attack he may employ if he again runs for president.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cluelessly pressed a reset button for Russia, which smiled and then invaded Ukraine, a sovereign nation, Romney said. The Middle East and much of North Africa is in chaos. China grows more assertive and builds a navy that will be larger than ours in five years. We shrink our nuclear capabilities as Russia upgrades theirs.
According to reporters who attended the speech, Romney joked about his wealth while also getting in a jab at Clinton, saying, "I'm not even thinking about the speaking fees I can earn...As you no doubt heard, I'm already rich."
He also acknowledged he is considering a third presidential run, saying, You may have heard that Im thinking of running for president again.
Romney described three issues the nation needs to improve, likely topics he would build his campaign on, including the need to help make the world a safer place, the need to restore opportunity, particularly for the middle class" and the need to lift people out of poverty.
In what looks like an early attack against Clinton, trying to align her with President Obama, Romney asked, How can Secretary Clinton provide opportunity for all if she doesn't know where jobs come from in the first place?
Romney then jabbed the president, asking how he expects to make America the best place on earth for businesses, as he promised in his State of the Union address if there are high business taxes, regulations that favor the biggest banks and crush the small ones, as well as a complex and burdensome health care plan, an attack he tried to employ in his last campaign unsuccessfully.
The presidents health care plan was repeatedly compared to Romneys health care plan in Massachusetts, something he denied, but an issue that will likely come up again by GOP opponents in a future campaign.
Romney added the country needs a president who will do what it takes to bring more good paying jobs to the placement offices of our college campuses.

Mitt Romney Portrays Hillary Clinton As 'Clueless' on Jobs ...
The news out of Politico this morning is that Hillary Clinton is likely to push her formal presidential announcement all the way back to July, a three-month delay from the original plan and one born of a desire to make sure the candidate and the campaign are fully ready to go when things are made official.
Here's Mike Allen:
The delay from the original April target will give her more time to develop her message, policy and organization, without the chaos and spotlight of a public campaign.
A Democrat familiar with Clintons thinking said: She doesnt feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.
The thinking goes like this: Clinton does best -- in the eyes of the public -- when she is seen as above or removed from politics. Her numbers, which were damaged by the 2008 presidential race, soared during and after her time as secretary of state. The less political she looks -- and you always look less political when you aren't running for something -- the more people like her.
Here's Gallup's long-term trend on Clinton's favorability ratings. The peaks (and valleys) tend to correspond with her times out -- and in -- campaign mode.
That reality is, of course, not new. So, what changed that has Clintonworld at least contemplating a slowdown in her announcement timetable?
Elizabeth Warren or, more accurately the lack of Elizabeth Warren. The senator from Massachusetts and the buzz around her as a possible Democratic candidate has gone dormant -- or gotten quieter -- over the past month. There isn't the daily drumbeat of stories about the left's unrest with Clinton (and pining for Warren) that was seen a few months back. And, more important, Warren and her people continue to insist -- publicly and privately -- that she has no interest in running, and she has not built a team to suggest that she does.
Without Warren, the primary is of no real threat to Clinton, as people such as Bernie Sanders, Jim Webb and even Martin O'Malley can't raise the money or generate the sort of generic excitement needed to topple her.
It makes all the sense in the world. But, waiting so long does carry some disadvantages.

The Fix: Hillary Clintons ever-changing presidential timeline is changing. Again.
Bad news for those eager to see Hillary Clinton kick off her presidential campaign: Insiders on Team Clinton say that the former Secretary of Statewill likely delay her campaign launch by at least three months,and that has some wondering if Hillary is in trouble.
Until now, most expected the Clinton campaign to officially kickoff in April, the beginning of a new fundraising quarter, but her campaign team recently told Politico that it will put off campaign launch until summer.
"Hillary Clinton, expecting no major challenge for the Democratic nomination, is strongly considering delaying the formal launch of her presidential campaign until July, three months later than originally planned, top Democrats tell Politico," the site reported Thursday.
Of course, the news was greeted with some trepidation (or glee) on both sides of the political spectrum.
"Hillary retreats deeper into cocoon," trumpeted a Fox News headline.
"It is time to panic about Hillary Clinton again," Esquire wrote.
Is it time to panic or celebrate depending on your political inclination? Has Hillary hit a snag?
To the contrary, she probably feels very secure in her (likely) candidacy.
As an unnamed source told Politico, She doesnt feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.
And why not? No other Democratic contender is even close to challenging Hillary's bid and pressuring her into an early declaration. Former one-term Senator Jim Webb has announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee. But the former Virginia senator is considered a long shot for the nomination.Ditto former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Why is Hillary Clinton delaying her campaign kickoff?
While the race for the Republican nomination for president appears to be beginning in earnest, prompted in no small part by early maneuvering by Jeb Bush and the increasing likelihood that Mitt Romney is indeed going to throw his hat in the ring for a third run at the White House, things have been fairly quiet on the Democratic side of the aisle. At most, the past several months have seen some talk of potential candidacies on the part of people such as former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, and former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley, as well as some speculation that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders may enter the race. The Ready for Warren people continue to do their thing notwithstanding the fact that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has said shes not running for president. Vice-President Biden, meanwhile, has apparently not taken any real steps to put together a campaign organization. To a large degree, of course, the lack of action on the Democratic side of the race is due to the fact that everyone seems to be waiting to see what Hillary Clinton will do. At this point, the major shock to the Democratic field would be Clinton announcing that she isnt running, since it would leave the party without a real front runner heading into 2016. The question, though, is when Clinton actually intends to enter the race, and a new Mike Allen piece atPoliticosuggests thatshe may delay entering the race until much later in the year than originally planned:
Hillary Clinton, expecting no major challenge for the Democratic nomination, is strongly considering delaying the formal launch of her presidential campaign until July, three months later than originally planned, top Democrats tell POLITICO.
The delay from the original April target will give her more time to develop her message, policy and organization, without the chaos and spotlight of a public campaign.
A Democrat familiar with Clintons thinking said: She doesnt feel under any pressure, and they see no primary challenge on the horizon. If you have the luxury of time, you take it.
Advisers said the biggest reason for the delay is simple: She feels no rush.
She doesnt want to feel pressured by the press to do something before shes ready, one adviser said. Shes better off as a non-candidate. Why not wait?
A huge advantage to waiting is that Clinton postpones the time when she goes before the public as a politician rather than as a former secretary of state. Polling by both Democrats and Republicans shows that one of her biggest vulnerabilities is looking political.
So the Clinton camp has enjoyed watching her recede from the headlines in recent weeks as Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney have amped up their potential candidacies.
One option being considered would be to announce an exploratory committee earlier perhaps in April, at the beginning of a new fundraising quarter, in the timeframe when insiders originally expected her to launch her campaign.
Then the actual kickoff would be in July, near the start of the next quarter. By launching at the beginning of a quarter, supporters have the maximum amount of time to generate a blockbuster total for their first report.
