A golden opportunity for Romney (UPDATES)

'Controversial'? Not at all...don't let the liberal media fool ya. With these tapes of Romney serving up some red meat for Republican donors going public, a golden opportunity for Romney now arises to address the 47% of the righteously indignant who might not have listened at all before, until the media, in hopes that it would damage Romney's chances, has now allowed it...with plenty of time to discuss before the election.

As Allahpundit points out about Romney's comments, "Certainly, the Obama campaign’s never done anything to tout the sort of cradle-to-grave dependency that Romney describes here."



I mean, where would he ever get that Obama supporters feel entitled to free stuff?







Rush hit the nail on the head today:

"I don’t care how this is being cast by the media. That’s predictable. What are we doing here? What is really happening? This election is about what? It’s about stopping Barack Obama. That’s what this election’s about. And we are hoping that a majority of people agree with us, that Barack Obama needs to be stopped. So here’s Romney at the Boca Raton fundraiser, and he happens to be telling these people a certain level of truth, a certain level of accuracy. I think there’s a bunch of people in that 47% that don’t want to be there. I think there’s a lot of that 47%, they’re there because of Obama. This is such a golden opportunity."





Also, Ed Morrissey weighs in on the second attempted jab...

"If this is the second-best clip that Mother Jones has on Mitt Romney, I think his campaign can breathe a sigh of relief. ... All Romney does here is describe the situation realistically rather than aspirationally..."



"What exactly is supposed to be “embarrassing” about this? It’s a more honest assessment of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than we’ve seen in decades from presidential-level politics, from either party."

You got that right...another golden opportunity. TheRightScoop provides a few more awesome vids on Iran and Obama's foreign policy...Romney gets it! Now it's time for his campaign to take these opportunities and go on offense with them.

UPDATES: Townhall reports that a majority agrees with Romney's comments...

As the faux outrage over Mitt Romney's "47%" comments continue to barrel through the airwaves of the old media, a CNBC poll shows 75 percent of voters believe Mitt Romney was right when he said Obama supporters will vote for him no matter what due to dependence on the government.

Now it's 76% out of over 12,000 polled...and climbing...

And if you need more proof that Romney was right, here ya go...47% DO support Obama! Barry's post-convention bounce has evaporated...
