Mitt Romney described almost half of Americans as âdependent upon governmentâ during a private reception with donors this year and said those voters were likely to support President Obama because they believe they are âentitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.â
The blunt political and cultural assessment by the Republican presidential candidate offers a rare glimpse into Mr. Romneyâs personal views as the campaign enters its final 50 days. Liberals quickly condemned the remarks as insensitive, and Mr. Obamaâs campaign accused him of having âdisdainfully written off half the nation.â
