Mitt Romney is something else. Upon video footage being released of him telling some large donors that he won't worry about 47% of the American population, since he has no chance to win their vote (not true, as Obama only leads with these voters by a 49-43% margin) and standing by that for a few days, the Republican Presidential nominee is now saying he represents 100% of the people in this country.
Let's run through this series of events:
1) Romney tells large donors at a private fundraiser that 47% of the population doesn't matter and without his knowledge, someone records the speech
2) The tape gets fully released 4 months later
3) Romney faces major backlash due to the tape and this can be seen both in poll numbers and heard from liberal and conservative politicians and talking heads alike
4) Romney more or less stands by what he said in the tape for a few days
5) Romney then tells the public that he supports not just 53% of them, but all 100% of them
Yeah, that sounds genuine. It's like if I were married, cheated on my wife and told a few buddies in private about it. Someone audio recorded the chat, informed my wife and I then went on to admit to her that yes, I cheated as could be heard via the tape. A few days later, as she's packing her things and about to leave, I then tell her that I never actually cheated on her. Think she'll buy that? No, I wouldn't either.
