(AP) - Republican Mitt Romney
confronted a new headache Mon-
day after a video surfaced showing
him telling wealthy donors that al-
most half of all Americans "believe
they are victims" entitled to exten-
Sive g ° vernment suPPort- He added
that as a candidate for the White
House, "m yjobisnotto worry about
those people."
At a hastily call news conference
later in the day, Romney offered no
apologies for his remarks and when
he was asked if he was concerned he
had offended anyone, he conceded
the comments weren't "elegantly
Mitt R om ney
stated" and they were spoken "off
the cuff."
President Barack Obama's cam
paign quickly seized on the video,
obtained by the magazine Mother
Jones, calling the video "shocking."
"It's hard to serve as president
for all Americans when you've dis
dainfully written off half the na
tion," Obama campaign manager Jim
Messina said in a statement.
