Election 2012

[glatt]

He said that his job “is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Is he saying that his job in the campaign is not to worry about half the country, or his job as president is not to worry about half the country?

If it's the former, that's too bad, but it's just basic strategy of figuring out which votes you can win and focusing on those. If it's the later, and he's writing off half the country that he'll bother with as president, that's very serious. If he got elected, I'd call for his immediate impeachment. You can't have a president writing off half the country, regardless of politics.

Don't be stupid. He is saying that his job in the campaign is not to worry about half the country. We all know his job as president is to not worry about 98% of the country.
