Mittens: 'I'm not concerned about the very poor' yes, he really said it!

[WI_DEM]

But Romney’s awkward phrasing could give fuel to critics who argue that he does not empathize with the poorest Americans.

“I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there,” Romney told CNN. “If it needs repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich, they’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of the America, the 90 percent, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.”

Host Soledad O’Brien pointed out that the very poor are probably struggling too

1. Yep, no need to worry about those who have NOTHING. In fact, you can even lump them in

with those who have EVERYTHING. They're so lucky!

How does one wrap an anchor?

3. I have a new name for Mitt: Giftastic.

You know he's going to top each callous, void of compassion statement with a new jaw-dropper every two weeks. He doesn't even get why what he's saying is bad . . . that's the beauty of it!

4. Then she said, "oh yea, I get it" nodding her head in agreement! This is not going to go over

very well at all.

5. Well, what's the difference with those democrats who ignore the very poor and only talk about the

middle class. He is more direct and brutal?

6. That's the Trifecta. Corporations are People. Banks are People. I'm not concerned about the poor.

Romney is the gift that keeps on giving.
