Ann Romney: Mitt doesn’t disdain the poor (VIDEO)

DENVER – Ann Romney, the wife of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, spoke exclusively Tuesday with FOX31 Denver about her husband’s controversial comments in a video that surfaced Monday characterizing nearly half of the country as Obama supporters who don’t pay taxes and live off the government.

“I’ve been on, obviously, on the trail a long time with Mitt and if you listen to the whole context of what Mitt talks about, he is talking about what’s happening right now in America and how more and more people are falling into poverty,” Ann Romney told FOX31 Denver.

“He wants to make sure to bring better opportunities for everyone. I know the guy, I know him really well, I know he cares. That’s why he’s running. It’s unfortunate when something gets misinterpreted like this, when it gets taken out of context.

“We’re facing some very difficult situations, and if we don’t take some corrective measures soon, more and more people will become dependent on government and that is not what he wants.”

What do you think?
Which of these negative Presidential campaign claims do you most believe to be true?

That President Obama cut Medicare to pay for Obamacare

That Mitt Romney will eliminate Medicare to establish a voucher system

I have no idea

they almost always without fail assume that everyone else in the room (or at large) is stupid.

Contrast this with intelligent progressives, who always assume that people are reasonable and smart too.
