Mitt Romney's 'Very Poor' Comment Should Come as No Surprise

Truth be told, the only time the Democrats show any concern about anything other than their wallets is when election time comes around.

Being an honest and intelligent Democrat is an oxymoron.

What Romney actually said ....and how all of the junk libbers like bannon interpret:

“I’m in this race because I care about Americans,” Romney told CNN’s Soledad O’Brien this morning after his resounding victory in Florida on Tuesday. “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. 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, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling and I’ll continue to take that message across the nation.”

The CNN anchor pressed Romney: “You just said I’m not concerned about the very poor because they have a safety net. And I think there are lots of very poor Americans who are struggling who would say that sounds odd. Can you explain that?”

“Well, you had to finish the sentence, Soledad,” said Romney. “I said I’m not concerned about the very poor that have the safety net, but if it has holes in it, I will repair them…The – the challenge right now – we will hear from the Democrat Party, the plight of the poor, and – and there’s no question, it’s not good being poor and we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But my campaign is focused on middle income Americans. My campaign – you can choose where to focus. You can focus on the rich. That’s not my focus. You can focus on the very poor. That’s not my focus. My focus is on middle income Americans, retirees living on social security, people who cannot find work, folks who have kids that are getting ready to go to college. That – these are the people who’ve been most badly hurt during the Obama years.”

"You had to finish the sentence..." is wholly neglected by the "propagandist media".

Anyone on this planet can easily understand what Romney is saying, but boobs like bannon try to make up their own conclusions to suit their petty un-views!

I remain, f'n amazed!!

**** this how selfish of you all to say 'Who cares about the poor'!!!!! They work harder then you all do!!! YES they need saftey needs because of low income and or no income because there are no jobs, layoffs, pay cuts, etc, I ALSO WANT to INCLUDE military personel who are fighting for you **** a**es who are about to lose their homes. Most military personel who come home from the war come home to nothing and eventually become homeless. NOT EVERYONE is born in a rich family and can afford everything, how about you hand out some of the money you make to a poor person/family and quit being so greedy. If you dont care about the poor obviously you dont care about the economy. GO **** YOURSELVES!!! OR HAVE AN AFFAIR LIKE MOST RICH PEOPLE!!! DUMBASS'S
