The 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney responded to President Barck Obama's State of the Union Address Tuesday via his Facebook page, adding fuel to the rumors that he is going to run for president yet again in 2016.

"True to form, the President in his State of the Union speech is more interested in politics than in leadership," Romney wrote in a post that gained over 200,000 Likes. "More intent on winning elections than on winning progress, he ignores the fact that the country has elected a Congress that favors smaller government and lower taxes.

Romney also attacked Obama's comments on the Democratic and Republican Parties finding common ground.

"Rather than bridging the gap between the parties, he makes 'bridge to nowhere' proposals. Disappointing. A missed opportunity to lead," Romney wrote. "His tax proposal is a maze of new taxes and complexities. The best way to lower the tax burden on all American families is straightforward: lower rates and simplify the tax code."

On Monday, Romney said that if he were to run for president, he would communicate better the second time around, Fox News reported. He said one of the lessons he learned from his last run for president is that he needs to communicate to voters "who I am -- not just through the policies I talk about, but the places that I go and the audiences I speak to."

"If you show up at businesses, it looks like you're a business person," Romney said about reaching out to minority groups. "If you show up at churches and at minority communities it shows you care much more broadly."

Still, author Meghan McCain, daughter of Arizona Senator John McCain, wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post urging Romney not to run again for the sake of his family. She said being a child of someone who has ran for president is a unique experience that only a handful of people know, but it becomes very difficult when you go through it more than once and watch your parent be rejected by the public each time.

"Helping my dad run for president, twice, was the hardest thing I've ever done. I wouldn't wish it on anyone," she wrote.
