Omaha, NE (AHN) - Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) reacted to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's statement that he was ending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination to avoid a Democratic "surrender to terror," by saying that the Republican hopeful was "an ineffective candidate."
Initially refusing to comment on Romney's exit from the presidential race, Obama then said to a follow-up question while talking to reporters on a flight to Nebraska on Thursday that Romney's statement was "the kind of poorly thought out comment that led him to drop out."
"It's a classic attempt to appeal to people's fears that will not work in this campaign. I think that's part of the reason he was such an ineffective candidate," Obama said. "No Democrat has suggested that we surrender to terrorism. Democrats have suggested that we start withdrawing out of Iraq so we can focus our attention on terrorism."
"It's a classic example of trying to conflate the war against real enemies with the failed strategy of the Bush Administration in Iraq. It's those sort of glib statements that I think got Romney consistently in trouble in this race," he added.
Romney, who fared poorly on Super Tuesday, announced at the the Conservative Political Action Committee earlier that day that he was "stepping aside" from the presidential rare because he did not want to "forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Sen. Clinton or Obama would win."
"In this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," Romney said.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is widely expected to take the party nomination with Romney out of the picture; Obama said that he was "in a stronger position" than Clinton against McCain."

The shrimpiness of the pukes is beginning to make even me sick.
