Romney has a hard time making a valid point effectively. He sticks his foot in his mouth and it will be used against him, this quote, now in the primaries and then, should he win the nomination, in the general.

He could have (and should have) easily said something like,

"You know, the poor in this country have been betrayed by the left. They are locked into an endless food stamp/welfare game where their vote is purchased for a meager existance. I am worried about growing this economy by empowering the job creators so these less well off people have an opportunity at a job and a life that is not beholden to, or bought by Obama and the DNC,"

Would have made the point effectively and taken the attack...as it should...right to Obama and the DNC and left.

Instead he gave them ammo against him and the entire message.

AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

That’s what a conservative would say, Jeff. Romney is a statist who Is perfectly fine with the welfare state and big government.

He desperately needs to hire you as a speech consultant.
