Mitt Romney: "Obama Voters Dependent On Government" VIDEO
A YouTube Video entitled "Mitt Romney "There are 47% of people who feel entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing!" is circulating on the internet.
Although black-screened and only offering what purports to be the voice of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying that, "There are 47% of the people who will vote for the President no matter what. Alright, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that they are victims, who believe government has the responsibility to care for them, who believe they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing!"
The sound of silverware against dinner plates can also be heard in the background which suggests that the recording took place at a dinner.
“It's shocking that a candidate for President of the United States would go behind closed doors and declare to a group of wealthy donors that half the American people view themselves as ‘victims,’ entitled to handouts, and are unwilling to take ‘personal responsibility’ for their lives," said Obama for America Campaign Manager Jim Messina in an email. "It’s hard to serve as president for all Americans when you’ve disdainfully written off half the nation.”
