May, 2012 - Mitt Romney was secretly taped at a Florida fundraiser.
September, 2012 - The video was released and we all witnessed Mitt Romney saying that 47% of Americans thought of themselves as victims and that it was not his job to worry about them. When questioned, both he and Paul Ryan spent weeks saying that the statement was "not elegantly stated" but was essentially correct. Mitt claimed it was the same message he used in his public speeches. (I must have missed that part.) His poll numbers dropped--a lot.
October, 2012 - Romney is now presenting himself as the champion of the middle class and telling everyone who will listen that what he said was "totally wrong". He has even co-opted President Obama's phrase, "and those who are trying to move up to the middle class" in order to include the poor in this attempt to prove himself reformed.
what eye thynk: The problem with Mitt's new I-Heart-Peons theme is that none of his anti-middle class/poor policies have changed one whit. I guess we're not supposed to notice that.
This complete change in position is so obviously phoney and self-serving that I am in awe.
