Mitt Romney is walking a rhetorical tightrope when it comes to presidential waivers.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Obama is "encouraging a culture of dependency" by gutting the work requirement in the landmark federal welfare reform law, and his campaign went a step further, saying the White House overstepped its legal authority last month to issue waivers of the law to the states.
"It is consistent with the Obama administration pattern recently of advancing policies that they can't get through Congress and doing it through executive fiat, regardless of whether they have the legal authority to do so or not," Jonathan Burks, Romney campaign's deputy policy director, said in a conference call with reporters.
