[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to thank Mitt for causing me to go back to the Obama "guns and religion" comment.  If you listen in context, he was clearly expressing sympathy for the plight of the people he was discussing, and explaining why he was still working for their votes despite their apparent antipathy.  Just the opposite of Romney, who does not worry about the 47% whose votes he cedes to Obama.

BTW, it was Jon Chait, via TPM's Josh Marshall, that pointed this out ([url]http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2012/09/just_right_1.php?ref=fpblg[/url]).  The "clinging" quote was more akin to "You didn't build that." than to "47%".[/quote]

Thank you for pointing this out.  The thing is, you can make anyone look bad by taking their quotes out of context, but the Romney video really is what he said, and the unedited video will show that it is not out of context.

Obama, on the other hand, is the same person when he meets with wealthy donors that he is on the stump and in the Oval Office.  It's partly his integrity, but also his discipline and his intelligence that make him an entirely different type of politician from Romney.[/quote]
