there, it is very hard to be able to get your message out without having some resources. a few weeks later the reason behind the reversal became a tad clear. you want to understand why the president flipped on super pacs, look at this number. this is president s super pac in january. $58,815.83 raised and questions about big donors were meant with defensiveness. even after the president s reversal, super pac fund-raising failed to pick up for the democrats significantly in particular the official obama super pac, priorities usa raising just $2 million in february. 2.5 million in march. less than 2 million in april. trailing well behind the mitt romney super pac and high dollar donations to the obama campaign were lagging. by the end of january $2,000 or
equity to create jobs. mitt romney may be the only private equity executive to ever claim to have created jobs. they go into private he s repeatedly said he created 100,000. he hasn t said that in a wile. maybe he s learned a bit of a lesson. probably not. they go into private equity to make a fortune and he did that. i don t begrudge him of course not. that. it s an incredible alchemy that occurs in private equity, spinning riches out of sow s ears or whatever the expression is. it s an incredible thing they do but to claim you created jobs is an absolute myth and completely erroneous. dana, this was a $50,000 per person dinner and at this very event mitt romney chooses to dismiss half the population as free loaders obsessed with entitlements and he accuses the president of dividing the nation. well explain that.
mitt romney doesn t understand is that this is personal. he s talking about my mother here. an 87-year-old woman who is in a nursing home currently. he s talking about my dad who was a firefighter. both who paid into social security and medicare, both who paid income taxes. my dad never lived long enough, martin, to collect either his pension or his social security or medicare but my mom did, and everything he put in is paid forward to take care of her care. i walk down the hallways of the home that she s in now because she requires 24 hour care. she s had three congestive heart failures, multiple sclerosis for more than 40 years and now with the onset of dementia needs that attention all the time. she s no burden. she never has been. we love her with all of our hearts. she s been an inspiration and so have all the people that mitt romney demeans.
it s time now to clear the air. and at last we re finally getting a glimpse of the real mitt romney. forget about the choreography of his convention, the bogus attempts to dress him up like an average american. the gilded lord romney is now fully transparent before our very eyes and what have we learned about this son of the political arreistocracy? when he was vorded deriding 47% of the population, he was badly mistaken. he must have known more than half of that number are elderly americans. many of whom have served this country with enormous distinction both here at home and also overseas in military conflict. but lord romney says, i ll never convince them they should take
based on employment or the environment or anything else. it s about generating wealth for the people who invested in it. bill, i m trying to imagine in a digital age a presidential candidate who would say such an outrageous thing. we know the man doesn t drink, so was he simply intoxicated by the presence of billionaires and millionaires? i mean, martin, it is inexplicable yet again. i can t believe that mitt romney continues to forget that there are bound to be people who are recording every one of his words and anxious to upload any video to youtube. yes, he probably was intoxicated surrounded by all these alpha human beings in this billionaire s club in florida. it s heady and i m sure he lost himself. he s a guy who has had sycophants around him his whole life. he probably doesn t have people to tell him to say no and how to think through these very delicate situations where he might, in fact, say something that everyone of the rest of us might not find quite as charming
