New York — President Barack Obama is chiding Republican Mitt Romney for referring to supporters of the president as victims who depend on the government. Obama says anyone who wants to be president has to “work for everyone, not just for some.”
Appearing on the “Late Show” with David Letterman, Obama offered his first comments to the Romney remarks that have roiled the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign.
A secret video of Romney’s remarks at a May fundraiser showed that he said 47 percent of people will vote for Obama no matter what and they “believe that they are victims.” Romney added that his job is “not to worry about those people.”
