Obama campaign seizes on Romney 'victims' video Sep 17th 2012, 23:00 The Obama campaign on Monday criticized Mitt Romney for saying in a video clip that almost half of U.S. voters "believe that they are victims." "It's hard to serve as president for all Americans when you've disdainfully written off half the nation," said Jim Messina, campaign manager for Obama for America. The clip appears on the website of the magazine Mother Jones and reportedly was taken at a private fundraiser. However, the exact time and place are unclear. Still, the Romney campaign has responded to the candidate's remarks and the clip, which has been on the Internet for weeks and came from an anonymous source. "Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans struggling in the Obama economy," said Gail Gitcho, the campaign's communications director. "He is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government, including the record number of people who are on food stamps." Romney says in the video that 47 percent of voters support Obama and that they are dependent upon government and believe they are victims. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
