COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is making no apology for a video that's surfaced in which Romney tells wealthy donors that almost half of all Americans "believe they are victims" entitled to extensive government support.
   
In the video Romney says, "my job is not to worry about those people."
   
On Monday, Romney said his comments weren't "elegantly stated" and they were spoken "off the cuff."
