Romney Stands By “Entitlement” Comments; Calls For Release of Full Video

Mitt Romney has called for the release of the full video in which he was captured on hidden camera stating that Obama supporters believed they were “victims” and deserved “entitlements” like health care, food and housing.

Asked if he was worried that he had offended the 47 percent of people he mentioned in the statement, Romney did not back off his remarks.

“It’s not elegantly stated, let me put it that way,” Romney said. “I’m speaking off the cuff in response to a question, and I’m sure I can state it more clearly in a more effective way than I did in a setting like that and so I’m sure I’ll point that out as time goes on.”

But, he added, “It’s a message which I am going to carry and continue to carry.”

“My campaign is about helping people take more responsibility and becoming employed again, particularly those who don’t have work,” Romney said. “His whole campaign is based on getting people jobs again, putting people back to work. This is ultimately a question about direction for the country. Do you believe in a government-centered society that provides more and more benefits or do you believe instead in a free enterprise society where people are able to pursue their dreams?” Read more.....

  2. Romney basically says what JFK said and the press gets their panties all wet saying he is out of touch and finished. Times have changed. Obama' s view is not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you. Internal checkpoints, government cheese, slave labor in prison camps and class warfare. Welcome to communist hell.
