The Obama campaign responded swiftly and harshly to the comments.

“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,” Jim Messina, Obama for America campaign manager, said in a statement. “It’s hard to serve as president for all Americans when you’ve disdainfully written off half the nation.”

The tapes are, as Mother Jones reports, from fundraisers “which occurred after Romney had clinched the Republican presidential nomination,” although it is not specified when or where the fundraiser was. The clips have been edited into 38-second to one-and-a-half minute chunks.

4. 'Harvesting' is a word more commonly associated with crops and human organs

To the vulture capitalists, workers are mere chattel who will remain productive - only to be cast aside - according to the whims of the harvesters.
