[font size=5]Mitt: What Koch ‘problem’?[/font]

.... A plane flew over the Hamptons with a banner from protestors reading, “Mitt Romney has a Koch problem,” as he stopped for three major fund-raisers Sunday — first at the East Hampton home of billionaire Ronald Perelman, followed by events at the home of Clifford Sobel, the former US ambassador to Brazil, then for dinner at David and Julia Koch’s home on Meadow Lane in Southampton.

Romney quipped to the crowd at Koch’s event, “I understand there is a plane out there saying Mitt Romney has ‘a Koch problem.’ I don’t look at it as a problem; I look at it as an asset.” ....

New York Jet owner Woody Johnson, one of Romney’s major bundlers, was present at all three events, which were estimated to have raised more than $3 million, witnesses said.

Earlier — at the Sobels’ $25,000-a-ticket bash attended by John Catsimatidis, Dr. Nicholas Perricone and David Schwartz — Romney said, “If you are here, by and large, you are doing just fine . . . I spend a lot of time worrying about those that are poor and those in the middle class.”
