in secret speech to donors, mittens says

[Don Quixote]

obama voters are 'entitled' and 'dependent on government'

Mitt Romney told a group of donors in a surreptitiously taped private fundraiser that voters who back President Obama are "entitled" and "dependent on government."
Mother Jones magazine obtained videos of the fundraiser from an anonymous source. The magazine said it took place after Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination in the spring, but wouldn't specifically name the event to protect its source.
Romney told the donors:

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 upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And 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.

I'm sorry, but I don't see a "gaffe" in what he said at all, he was 100% absolutely correct. If you want to mentally twist that into some sort of fucked up pretzel, that's your problem, not his. There was nothing "secret" about a non-public fundraising event, Obama has them too.
