Romney was at it again: "Guess what? I made a lot of money" [View all]

(CBS News) The day after twin losses in the Deep South, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney responded with an unapologetic defense of his business success when asked by a journalist about campaign-trail gaffes in which he referred to wealthy friends even as he courted the support of low- and middle-income voters in economically depressed states.

"Guess what? I made a lot of money," Romney responded when Megyn Kelly of Fox News Channel asked him about offhand comments he has made in the past referring to friends who own NASCAR teams and National Football League teams. "I've been very successful. I'm not going to apologize for that."

Given the golden opportunity to explain how he can relate to lower income people despite having rich friends, Romney couldn't help bragging about his wealth instead.
