In terms of crisis management, Romney said there weren’t really “great moments in American leadership,” saying “the speed of our response looked slow compared to other people.”
He was encouraged that the U.S. would be able to stand out on the recovery and stimulus phases of the response, but said again, “The first phase, we didn’t look real strong, and that’s kind of an understatement, but after this is over, I think what we will have been able to do and our technology base will maintain the reputation we have as being a leader, if not the leader of the world.”
