"Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt quickly dismissed the criticism, accusing "Mitt Romney's allies" of recirculating video of a widely covered speech in "a transparent attempt to change the subject" from Romney's comments about 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes."

two things mr. labolt: yes it was widely circulated at the time, without all of the offensive remarks. and i would say that this is quite relevant to romney's remarks. here, obama stands just for blacks. that is only 12%, a much smaller portion of the populace....
