- Romney: Nearly half ‘believe they are victims’
- September 17, 2012
- (AP) — Already scrambling to steady a struggling campaign, Republican Mitt Romney confronted a new headache Monday after a video surfaced showing him telling wealthy donors that almost half of all Americans “believe they are victims” entitled to extensive government support and adding that as a candidate for the White House, “my job is not to worry about those people.” President Barack Obama’s campaign quickly seized on the video, obtained by the magazine Mother Jones and made public on a day that Romney’s campaign conceded it needed a change in campaign strategy to gain momentum in the presidential race. “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what,” Romney is shown saying in a video published by the magazine. “There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.” Romney said his role “is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
