DNC: Romney out of touch



(CNN) - A day after Mitt Romney pulled out victories in Michigan and Arizona, the Democratic National Committee is out with a new video slamming him as out-of-touch.

The two-minute, web-only video is a compilation of Romney’s campaign gaffes and news personalities asking, in the words of CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, “whether he has trouble connecting with voters.”

...

Among the gaffes include the former Massachusetts governor telling a Michigan audience his wife “drives a couple of Cadillacs,” remarking that some of his friends are NASCAR team owners, saying “corporations are people, my friend”, arguing that “banks are scared to death” in this economy, admitting “I’ve worried I was going to get a pink slip,” and telling CNN’s Soledad O’Brien “I’m not concerned about the very poor” among others.

...In the DNC memo Roussell writes, "Mitt Romney wants to cut taxes for his NASCAR team-owning friends" and "while some may laugh at his 'gaffes,' we would argue that these moments show who Mitt Romney really is."
