I don't agree with it at all. But I understood what he meant as soon as I heard it. The comment wasn't the least unclear to me. I bet a lot of people also understood it.
What i don't understand at all is WHY he would say that. I couldn't imagine why ANY politician would say that.
If Romney's not ready for prime time yet - and he isn't - then he will never be. His problem is he stands for NOTHING. His stock in trade is pandering and blowing with the wind. When you feel nothing in your gut, telling the country he isn't worried about the very poor is a misstatement that is easily believed to be the truth.
We all need to thank the repubicans for fielding a clown car slate of candidates with a man of this ineptitude as the leader of their pack.

Go ahead, go thru speeches and statements and campaign promises from Nixon, Carter, Regan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and BHO...you won't find the words "we are going to directly address poverty in this country".
There is much talk about "the middle class", and occasional mentions of the wealthy (as either the fountainhead of trickle-down or as needing to pay their fair share...but nobody talks about the poor.

(53,410 posts)The poor are something abstract to him. Something he's heard of, but has never actually come face to face with. The poor are very much an abstract thought for a great deal of politicians. The poor are probably those homeless people everyone sees passed out on the way to work. just Scum to avoid walking on.

Of course this could not be said, this is Willard, Multi-multi millionnaire Rawmoney, Republican...He doesn't give a shit about the poor. How do I know? Every single "safety net" Willard referred to has been slashed to pieces by the Republican party and Willard Rawmoney hasn't said shit.
