As for the comment taken out of context about "the poor", it was about aiming to focus on the majority in the middle who do NOT have a "safety net", such as the working poor who don't qualify for Medicaid/Medicare nor welfare, as "the poor" do now. Romney said that, and that if the safety net of the poor has holes, they'd fix it.

But admitting that inconvenient part would take a listener who's interested in a whole statement, not just key buzz words to use as campaign weaponry.
