Reuter : Romney struggles to steady campaign after secret videos
WASHINGTON | Wed Sep 19, 2012 2:50am IST
(Reuters) - Republican Mitt Romney struggled on Tuesday to steady his
reeling White House campaign after a secretly recorded video showed him
dismissing President Barack Obama's supporters as victims who are too
dependent on government.
The video from a closed-door fundraiser in Florida in May sparked a new wave
of criticism of Romney's gaffe-plagued presidential campaign and raised
fresh questions about his ability to come from behind in the polls and win
in November.
In the video, the first part of which was published on Monday by the liberal
Mother Jones magazine, Romney tells donors that 47 percent of Americans
will back Obama no matter what and "my job is not to worry about those
people."
He said they do not pay income taxes and are people "who are dependent upon
government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government
has a responsibility to care for them."
The clip was shot at the luxurious Boca Raton, Florida, home of Marc Leder,
a private equity executive. The camera appears to be hidden behind a marble-
topped sideboard and shows Romney addressing at least half a dozen people
who are sitting eating. Waiters, some wearing white gloves, serve the guests.
Romney also told the donors that Palestinians have no interest in pursuing a
peace agreement with Israel and achieving a separate Palestinian state
would not be possible.
"I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political
purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these
thorny issues, and I say there's just no way," Romney said.
The video unleashed a fresh wave of criticism from some Republicans who were
already frustrated by Romney's failure to capitalize politically on a
struggling economy and a high 8.1 unemployment rate.
William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, called Romney's
comments "stupid and arrogant." David Brooks, a conservative columnist in
The New York Times, said Romney did not appear to understand American
culture. | j*********d 发帖数: 1137 | 2 video给人的印象是他是带有强烈精英主义色彩的人,只和他那个elite圈子里的朋友交
