Marco Rubio seems to repeat line - again - after getting accused of being too scripted

Rubio said a near identical version of that line about Obama on four occasions Saturday. He said Sunday that the bit was core to his message.

"Actually, I would pay them to keep running that clip, because that's what I believe - passionately," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "It's one of the reasons why I'm not running for reelection to the Senate and I'm running for president."

Rubio entered the New Hampshire primary ranking second, according to a Real Clear Politics average of several polls. The Granite State votes on Tuesday.

Rubio's competition is close behind. He is locked in a four-way heat with Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
