Kasich Doesn’t Agree With Romney’s 47 Percent Comments
Kasich Doesn’t Agree With Romney’s 47 Percent Comments
Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich told some Cleveland media outlets Wednesday he does not "necessarily agree" with Mitt Romney's comments that 47 percent of Americans who do not pay income taxes are "victims" dependent on government, reports the Columbus Dispatch.
"We have all misspoken. Do I necessarily agree with him, no, but, I have done it, the president has done it," Kasich said. Kasich previously told the Dispatch he had not watched the video of Romney's remarks or Romney's response to questions about the leaked footage.

Guess he missed the part where Mitt doubled and tripled down on his comment.
This is just what Mitt needs in Ohio. LOL!
