ROMNEY APOLOGIZES FOR CALLING PEOPLE POOR INSTEAD OF LAZY

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – (PTSD News Service) – GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney apologized for his comment about not caring about poor people.  “What I meant to say,” Romney told the Post Times Sun Dispatch, “was that I don’t care about shiftless people who are jealous of the rich job creators.  As far as if someone is poor, a little tutoring on market trends can help them go from poor to excellent performance in the next quarter.”

 

Romney said that as president he would be able to help the under-earners better understand the safety net.  “For example,” Romney said, “if the Bentley breaks down, simply use the Jaguar instead.”

 

Romney said that it was not him that was out of touch with “flat-incomed” people but they with people like him.  “When was the last time one of those people played 18 holes with a rich job creator and learned just how nerve wracking it is to have to remember the pin numbers of all of those Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts.”
