He also says Obama is offering a vision for "trickle-down government" and that Americans saw "two very different visions for America" during the first presidential debate Wednesday night in Denver.
The Republican nominee spoke Thursday morning during a surprise appearance at the Colorado Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in Denver. A smiling Romney took the stage to sustained cheers from the audience of conservative activists.
