Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney is once again on the defense block after he was caught telling a group of donors that 47 percent of Americans believe they are victims entitled to health care, food and housing. What has already been a difficult campaign for the wealthy business man once again has the nominee dealing with the aftermath of poorly timed statements and remarks. In a press conference Monday night, he said his comments were not "elegantly stated. I'm speaking off the cuff in response to a question and I'm sure I can state it more clearly and in a more effective way."

Meantime, a spokesperson with President Obama's campaign issued a statement calling the remarks shocking.
