Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's (R) campaign on Thursday sought funds by vowing to hold President Obama to comments he made in 2009 suggesting he'd only deserve a single term if the economy didn't recover.

Romney's campaign dredged up an interview Obama gave to NBC in 2009 in which he said he would "be held accountable" if the economy doesn't begin to show signs of recovery after his first term in office.
