DENVER -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney trained his fire on President Obama, not his G.O.P. opponents, during a campaign stop in Colorado on Saturday.
Romney appeared at Springs Fabrication in Colorado Springs, just days before the state's Republican presidential caucus on Tuesday.
"This President, I'm convinced, wants to fundamentally transform America," Romney told supporters.
"He wants to change us into something we might not recognize. I think he takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe."
The former Massachusetts governor touted the metal products manufacturer as the type of company that will help lead this country's economic recovery.
He said that recovery is threatened by Obama's reluctance to embrace free enterprise. He said Friday's news that the unemployment rate had dropped to 8.3. percent had little to do with the White House.
"I'm delighted things are getting better, I think they are," Romney said. "He's celebrating that it's 8.3. Well, that's still above the emergency line of eight percent. And by the way, he doesn't get credit for things getting better."
Romney is heavily favored to win Tuesday's Colorado caucus. He overwhelmingly won the 2008 caucus.
He's expected back in Colorado for some last-minute campaigning on Monday evening.
