Republican candidate Mitt Romney responded to criticism after a video surfaced of him calling out 47 percent of Americans for not paying income taxes, saying they all feel entitled to government handouts and will vote for President Obama no matter what. In the video, Romney can be heard saying that it’s not his job to convince those people to vote for him, but rather he needs to focus on independent voters.
Romney defended to the tape, saying, “It doesn’t capture the question, so I don’t know precisely what was asked, but I think it was about my campaign and how I’d be able to get the majority of voters to support me.”
The GOP nominee asked for the entire video to be released. He said that it was not “elegantly stated” and that he was “speaking off the cuff.”
Romney went on to say that it’s a message he plans on continuing to carry....

“Typical white person.”
Oh, you mean he made another misstep. (eye roll)
STOP apologizing Romney, what you said is true, most of the people who support obama ARE on the government dole.
Romney has to be careful that he doesn’t dig himself deeper into this sh*t which is just what the media wants him to do.
sounds like he’s getting serious....
October is going to be fun
I think he’s starting to figure out he has to fight for it if he wants it.
The MSM Obama Media is trying to gin this up to deflect from the fact that Obama is a completely failed President, who is watching his failed policies go up in smok as we speak!
No apology. Hit hard!
53% of the voters approve this message.
I thought Romney did very well in the press conference. If we see that Mitt in the debates, I’m pretty confident about his chances in November.
Gas
Middle East
Jobs
Food Prices
Plus there are a ton of people this was the elephant in the room now lets discuss it
He didnt apologize. He said it is the same thing I say in public.
Good for him, now start talking about high gas prices whenever he talks about the 47pcters not paying their fair share and see how quick the media changes the subject
The middle east is melting down, and the MSM is playing “gotcha” with Romney. Jerez.
Mitt, fight, fight and fight some more!
That reminds me, wasn't Donald Trump going to release something damaging to Obama? Waiting til October, or called off by the Romney Campaign?
But many of the ‘public servants’ don’t think of themselves on the dole, yet they are and still net negative tax paying citizens.
Barack Ubama is focused on E.D. ... ENVY & DIVISION!
Force more people on to the public dole and create as much government dependency as he can.
