"We will hear from the Democrat Party on the plight of the very poor. That is not my focus."

5. So he's outright admitting he's not going to worry about the poor?

He does realize that poor people vote, right? I know Republicans are trying to make it more difficult for them to but still.....................
Republicans have never been friends of the poor, of course, but none of them would just come right out and say something so classless and clueless.


He's a real firecracker today/last night, isn't he? My biggest worry about Romney has always been that he would have an easier time fooling indies and moderates into believing that he could be a moderate Republican POTUS and/or "compassionate conservative" like GWB but it seems like the more and more confident he gets that he's going to be the nominee, stuff like this just comes pouring out of his mouth. Maybe it won't be as hard for Obama to contrast with Romney as I had feared, particularly if the election is ultimately framed as the 1% vs. 99%. There's no way that Romney will be able to pivot back enough to win THAT argument IMHO.
