Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney arrives at Salt Lake City International Airport during a visit to Utah for a pair of fundraisers on Tuesday, Sept. 18.
Supporters grow critical of Romney
SALT LAKE CITY — His campaign at a crossroads, Mitt Romney struggled Tuesday to limit political fallout from his dismissive comments about nearly half of all Americans while Republican officials debated the impact of serial controversies on the party's hopes of capturing the White House.
President Barack Obama's White House piled on, seven weeks before Election Day.
"When youre president of the United States, you are president of all the people, not just the people who voted for you," said press secretary Jay Carney.
Romney seemed to say otherwise in a video that surfaced on Monday in which he told donors at a fundraiser that 47 percent of Americans don't pay taxes and believe they are entitled to extensive government support.
He added that Obama "deeply believes that we're in this together."
"My job is not to worry about those people," he said. "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
They also noted that with early voting already under way in some
Privately, some Republicans were critical of Romney's most recent comments and his overall campaign to date, saying he had frittered away opportunities.
states, the time to recover was smaller than might appear.
"I disagree with Governor Romney's insinuation that 47 percent of Americans believe they are victims who must depend on the government for their care," she said in a statement posted to her website.
POLICE REPORTS
Linda McMabon, the Republican candidate for a Senate seat in Connecticut, was open with her criticism.
Still, with high-profile presidential debates and seven weeks of campaigning ahead, others said those concerns were overstated.
"I don't expect the negative headline of this week will be what we're talking about a week from now," said Fergus Cullen, the former Republican state chairman in New Hampshire and a close ally of Romney.
Information based on the Douglas County Sheriff's Office booking recap and KU Office of Public Safety crime reports.
Like other Republicans, he said, "it's incumbent on the Romney campaign to make it (the election) about Obama's handling of the economy"
- A 37-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Monday at 10:40 p.m. in the 1500 block of North 1550 Road on suspicion of burglarizing a vehicle, theft of property or services less than $500 and criminal use of a financial card. Bond was set at $7,500.

Top Republicans in Congress volunteered no reaction to Romney's remarks — just as they refrained from commenting a week ago when he issued a statement that inaccurately accused the Obama administration of giving comfort to demonstrators after they breached the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
- A 55-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Monday at 4:05 p.m. in the 3600 block of East 25th Street on suspicion of burglarizing a vehicle, criminal use of a financial card and theft of property or services less than $1,000. Bond was set at $1,500. He was released.
- A 21-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Monday at 4:04 p.m. in the 3600 block of East 25th Street on suspicion of criminal possession of a club or knife.
Bond was set at $500. He was released.
• A 23-year-old Topeka woman was arrested Monday at 2:41 a.m. in the 4800 block of Bauer Farm Drive on suspicion of driving while suspended, driving while intoxicated and refusing to take a blood alcohol test. Bond was set at $1,000. She was released.
