President Obama or Mitt Romney

Republican Mitt Romney is running damage control after video of the presidential candidate telling wealthy donors that nearly half of Americans “believe that they are victims” was posted online.
You can watch the video blow. See for your self. Romney is for the upper class & republicans.
This video obtained by news magazine Mother Jones was reportedly captured at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida on May 17 before Romney formally secured the Republican nomination.
In the clip, Romney shares frank opinions about voters who support U.S. President Barack Obama.
“There are 47 per cent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement,” he says.
Another leaked video from the same $50,000-a-plate event shows the former Massachusetts governor questioning the feasibility of a two-state solution for the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. In the clip, he says Palestinians don’t appear to be interested in peace and are “committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel.”
The video was shot at a home in Boca Raton, Fla. belonging to private equity manager Marc Leder, Mother Jones reported. On Tuesday it was revealed that the person to leak the tape was none other than the grandson of former president Jimmy Carter, a democrat, who was angry at the GOP’s attacks against his grandfather.
Romney did not refute the authenticity of the video at a news conference held late Monday. Instead, he said his words weren’t “elegantly stated” and were “off the cuff.”
Romney, a multimillionaire businessman, has spent much of the election campaign defending himself against the criticism that his wealth prevents him from relating to the average American. Detractors pointed to his wife’s Cadillacs and his venture capital firm in an effort to prove he is out of touch.
In the video itself, Romney alludes to the remarks made against him.
“What he’s going to do, by the way, is try and vilify me as someone who’s been successful, or who’s, you know, closed businesses or laid people off, and is an evil bad guy,” he said.
The video was posted online the same day Romney’s campaign noted that it would be changing its strategy to catch up to President Obama, who holds a narrow three-point edge in recent polls.
