"breathtakingly callous" - That is an understatement! What's more "breathtaking" is Romney never realized how offensive/out-of-touch his comment was until he was told...callousness is not easily turned around in a 64yr old - it is ingrained.
Mitt shows signs of becoming a reincarnation of his father "I was brainwashed by the military" George Romney, who openly revealed his inner thoughts. Hedge fund managers/Goldman Sachs, etc. better keep Mitt on a short leash if they want to see that big return on their investment.
