AND SO NOW, belatedely, mitt steps forth, and announces to the world, or at least forty seven per cent of america, that his earlier remarks were "just completely wrong". And good for mitt. His advisors must've finally gotten to him.
Or maybe the american maintstream media, which we are told by conservatives is exclusively liberal and owned by the dark liberal forces of barack hussein obama, got to mitt. Not much drama, no big tearful mia culpa, just a good solid admission of wrong speaking. It'll do. We actually would probably prefer the tearful drama, but we'll take what we can get.
Mitt's remarks to the effect that the forty seven percent of americans who don't pay income taxes all regard themselves as victims who deserve massive entitlements from the government and would therefore automatically vote for obama, remarks he made to a select few jet setting high rolling elite successful well dressed wealthy americans, and a spy, were made in may, five months ago.
the outing of these remarks by left wing magazine mother jones occured three weeks ago, strategically timed for maximum political fall out, and mitt, after spending seventeen days defending, then denying, then claiming misunderstanding, finally was prevailed upon by circumstances to admit wrong speaking.
Did he by chance have any idea that his remarks were condescendingly elitist, and dishonest, a few moments after he made them in may, or did he simply dwell in the land of elite superior wealth for five months, then become enlightened?
Maybe mitt now has come to the conslusion that a viet nam war veteran with no legs who has spent the last forty years in a wheel chair is not trying to make a victim out of himself to get more money from the government.
If he becomes president, it is to be hoped that mitt gains even greater understanding.
