Here’s Mitt Romney at a fundraiser, unaware that he was being recorded:
He describes how 47% of Americans are Obama supporters that cannot be swayed, and that those folks are all welfare queens who pay no taxes and feel they are entitled to food and medical care. Much will be written about all of that in the coming days, and it should be, those are just plain asshole-ish statements. And false. But no matter. The really important line is here:
And so my job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
As the President of the United States of America, yes, your job absolutely 100% is to fucking worry about those people. And the other 53% too. If you don’t believe that, you are not qualified to be President. End of fucking story.
Come on, clearly he is referring to his “job” running for President, not his would-be job as President. He is saying he won’t be able to win their votes.
