Romney explained to reporters tonight that his remarks were not "elegantly stated," but did not repudiate them as his true beliefs. In fact, it was quite eloquently stated. The Romney speaking to fund-raisers was not the halting, smarmy figure so frequently on public display but an eloquent and passionate orator. He had no reason to believe his donors needed to hear him denounce the poor — they would have been perfectly satisfied with a bromide about how cutting taxes on the rich will create opportunity for one and all. Instead he put himself forward as the hopeful president of the top half of America against the bottom.
The problem with his remarks is as president he is president of ALL the people, not just some of them. However, he disavows about half of the population for being moochers, although in truth everybody in this country is a moocher for using some kind of government services.
David Corn has more video of Romney, only the clips are about boring foreign policy matters.
