mney, no matter what. He says that money needs to be spent to sway the 5-10% of independents. While that's probably true (the swaying the indies), I definitely do not consider myself a victim, nor do I feel I'm entitled in the way he's saying.

This video shows how elitist he really is.

I get why it's a problem how he's saying it, how he's basically writing off half the country. - ty97 Sep 17, 16:46 5
- I think you're mis-hearing the video. He's talking about 47% of the electorate - Obama's core supporters. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 17, 16:58 1
  - I'd call that a yes and a no, but I don't think the yes part makes him look any better - Reagen Sep 17, 17:04
- Yeah, it's a little too "bluntly" put. Not quite a "cling to guns and religion" moment for him... - Dr.Vermin Sep 17, 16:49 2
  - Let's not attribute full factualness to him. 47% don't pay income tax, okay. But he equated that 47% to the 47% of people who will vote for Obama. - ty97 Sep 17, 16:56 1
    - Ignore my reply to you above. You did hear correctly. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 17, 16:59
