nbc nightly news reporting on romney's 'caught on tape' moment....

chuck todd equates it to Obama's 'they cling to their guns' statement.....of course he does.

Romney's closed door comments caught on tape

Mitt Romney told approximately 30 donors "people who support Obama do so because they are 'dependent on government'" and "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing. My job is is not to worry about those people."

The remarks were caught on tape during a a closed-door gathering of about 30 major donors earlier this year. In the video you hear Romeny say
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right -- there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."

Romney continues by saying:
"they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax. 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."
