How about telling the complete story. This is what he said about the very poor:

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Mitt Romney says he isn't worried about those living in poverty since they have government assistance programs to fall back on. Instead, he wants to focus on helping the middle class.

But not everyone is so sure that the nation's lifelines are truly protecting those who need it.

Saying the nation had a "very ample safety net," Romney cited Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers as examples of government programs that protect the poor.

"I'm not concerned about the very poor," the Republican presidential candidate said on CNN Wednesday morning. "There's a safety net there, and if it needs repair I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the heart of America, the 95% of Americans who are right now struggling."

Yoo hoo! McFly. It's the safety net that he wants to rip up. Again, as I said, his statement is telling. Cut Medicaid, freeze or reduce spending on social programs, arbitrary limits on spending for non-defense items, etc. The ones who will suffer are the very poor. So, "I'm not concerned about the very poor" is not a proclamation of support for those among us who are by every measure, "very poor."
