Mitt to the Poor: "Drop Dead."

Mitt's comment reminds me of Obama's 'spreading the wealth' remark to Joe the Plumber last election cycle. It did not affect Obama much, so let's see what happens to Romney.

And in my opinion, the politicians who come out and slam Romney for his comments aren't much better than him since they don't do much of anything to solve the problem either. Money is spent to help the poor, but not much comes out of it. What is needed is a change in strategy that does not include simply throwing money at a problem that no one in Washington is willing to undertake.

No, I don't think that what was meant. Assuming he gets the nomination, those who want to support Romney and/or oppose Obama will ignore this as simply a bad choice of words.

Those who oppose and/or support Romney will decide that these words means exactly what you're claiming, no matter what else he says.

He's already clarified, but will people believe him? Some will, some won't, but out of all the people that hear it, how many of those are undecided swing voters?

Obama has his share of moments when he's said things that I'm sure he wished he hadn't. Zero pointed out one. The whole clinging to Gods & guns things were another. I have no doubt both of them will put their foot in their mouth more than a few times between now and the election.

That's not going to decide the election.
