Trying to recover, Romney says he is poor Americans' best bet
Source: Reuters
By Steve Holland
ATLANTA, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Mitt Romney said on Wednesday he would do a better job of helping the poor than President Barack Obama as the Republican tried to recover from a secret video that showed him dismissing nearly half the electorate as dependent on government help.
Romney has sought to make the Nov. 6 election a referendum on Obama's economic stewardship, but over the past week the spotlight has been fixed firmly on his own missteps - most recently a video that shows him writing off Obama supporters.
Romney hopes to recover by framing the presidential election as a choice between big government and economic growth. At an Atlanta fundraiser, Romney said he wants to spur job creation by encouraging private enterprise.
"The question in this campaign is not who cares about the poor and the middle class. I do, he does," Romney said, jabbing the podium with his index finger and his voice rising with emotion.
"The question is who can help the poor and the middle class. I can, he can't and he's proven it in four years," he said.

I hadn't read this before I commented but it doesn't take a genius to know that mitt's not paying any income tax or why would he be hiding them?
Thank you, Harry Reid!

(23,113 posts)I'm sure rMoney has convinced many a frightened business executive that getting into hawk way over their heads is the only safe "bet", but a election is not a casino. It's a choice based on clear facts, and the fact is, rMoney will not disclose the facts we need to make a clear choice so he's forcing the election into a gambling scenario.
