Legal Insurrection; Maybe Romney answer was “inelegant” only because Mother Jones didn’t disclose that part of tape was missing "But there was a filter. As reported in my prior post, Corn has admitted that 1-2 minutes of audio/video are missing. That missing audio/video includes part of Romney’s controversial answer."....
"It also is unreasonable to expect Romney to correct an incomplete audio/video of a comment he did not remember making except for the existence of the audio/video. That’s why Romney asked for the complete answer to be released."
Critical audio gap in “complete” Romney tape released by Mother Jones (Update – Corn responds, 1-2 minutes missing)
When 'Mother Jones' Opposed 'Selectively Edited' Video 'Reported Uncritically By the Media' "To be frank, I don’t believe David Corn or "Mother Jones." I think the missing minutes are mitigating and might even show Romney in a good light; might even show him clarifying his remarks. There's a reason Corn and "Mother Jones" tried to get away with passing off the edited video as unedited, and this is the only reason that makes any sense."
Mother Jones Did Romney a Favor "Now, the next point that is obviously lost on the drooling media is that Romney was speaking the truth. Even better, it’s not altogether different from what he’s been saying on the campaign trail so far. Hell, Romney was possibly being kind, since thanks to Obama’s policies, almost 50% of all U.S. citizens live in a household where someone is receiving some form of governmental assistance."

Romney escalates attack on Obama’s economic vision
“Mitt Romney’s vision for America is an opportunity society, where free people and free enterprise thrive and success is admired and emulated, not attacked,” Mr. Rhoades said. “President Obama’s vision for America is a government-centered society, where government grows bigger and more active, occupying more of our everyday lives.”Media lap dogs in hot pursuit of the wrong story
"A reporter grilled the White House — and I am not making this up — about what the president thought of the impersonation of him on the previous “Saturday Night Live” episode."
From JustOneMinute; Mitt Unplugged "As a factual matter, this reflects gloomily poor staff work and preparation by Team Romney - roughly 3/4 of non-Federal filers are either retired or the working poor (benefiting from the Earned Income Tax Credit and personal and child breaks). Telling an elderly retiree who spent forty years paying Federal, Social Security and Medicare taxes that they are now a dependent who never took personal responsiblity for their lives is probably not a winning message. Since Romney is positioning himself as a smart guy, he ought to focus on saying smart things.
"That said, I am hoping the AllahPundit is right with the notion that if the shoe doesn't fit, people won't wear it:"
Heritage; Dependence on Government vs. the American Dream "This doesn’t necessarily mean that these taxpayers are dependent on the federal government. (More on that later.) But it does raise a crucial issue for our democracy: Who should pay to fund the federal government?"
Boortz; And Just What Was Wrong With What Mitt Romney Said? "Obama must be breathing a sign of relief today. The news has shifted away from his the spectacular collapse of Dear Ruler’s apology and pandering based outreach to the Muslim world. Good going boss! "
Romney needs to keep talking about our fiscally and morally disastrous Entitlement Society “The taker mentality has thus ineluctably gravitated toward taking from a pool of citizens who can offer no resistance to such schemes: the unborn descendants of today’s entitlement-seeking population.”
