GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney took a shot at President Obama on Friday, saying that he expects the president to stretch the truth in the pending presidential debates.

In an interview that aired on ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday, Romney said that he expects President Obama will “say a lot of things that aren’t accurate” during the debates.

“You know, I’d be tempted to go back to that wonderful line by Ronald Reagan: There you go again,” Romney said. “I think the challenge that I’ll have in the debate is that the president tends to, how shall I say this, say things that aren’t true.”
