I had forgotten Romney dropped that little chestnut in the course of his interview by George Stephanopoulus last weekend (video and full transcript linked.)
EDIT: Now that I think about it, if Romney believes the 94% of Americans earning <$250,000 are not upper class, I wonder if he similarly miscalculated the 47-49% of people with whom Obama allies (and vice versa.) Guess we shall see in about 7 weeks....

Unemployment is either the fault of people too lazy to work, or Obamas fault.

Actually, there was one other Obama "entitlement:" He gave out a lot of small business loans.

American politics is a joke. As such, you will see/hear stupid things like this all the time.

It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid.
