The actual quote was from Laura Ingraham’s radio show. She asked Romney if Obama’s claim that the economy is getting better is true. Romney replied:
Well of course it’s getting better. The economy always gets better after the recession. There’s always a recovery. There’s never been a time anywhere in the world where an economy has never recovered. The question is how is recovered by virtue of something the president has done or has he delayed the recovery and made it more painful? And the latter, of course, is the truth.
What I find hilarious about this is Romney’s claim “The economy always gets better after the recession. There’s always a recovery. There’s never been a time anywhere in the world where an economy has never recovered.” Is he nuts? Economies all over the world have collapsed and never recovered. But according to Romney, they are just delayed. Is he still expecting the economy of the Roman empire to recover?

Romney’s tactic is to say anything. Literally anything. It doesn’t even fucking matter, as long as what he’s saying is verbal autofellatio.
He’s following the old standby, the time-tested and mother-approved method of politicking. Just say bad things about your opponent, turn every single thing about him into something bad, and take credit for every good thing you possibly can, ever. Fuck logic, fuck reason, just smile and talk about how awesome you are.
Well, I’m waiting for the economy of the Roman Empire to recover. Who isn’t? Dang, wouldn’t that throw the EU for a loop? “>D
