that's from the la times article...i just don't get why romney can't actually take a good, hard, long look at the facts. why does he have to find excuses and play games about gifts, and why people didn't vote for him? i know why i didn't vote for him, and it had nothing to do with freebies.

ditto. and it's perplexing how otherwise smart people are so completely tone deaf about how this argument comes across to voters they need to persuade next time.
