Mother Jones's David Corn has another leaked Romney recording for us. This time, Mitt and Ann are on record at a fundraiser expressing contempt for the president. Romney told donors that Obama thinks of businesspeople as "a necessary evil," and Ann Romney suggested that the president was not a "grown-up."



ANN: You know—the ship's going over the waterfall, it's almost there. And we look what's happening in Greece, and we look what's happening around the world, we look what's happening internationally. This is a frightening world, and we need a grown-up, and we need someone that understands the economy. So I'm glad…Mitt is grown up to you all.

In August, Ann Romney, talking about the gender gap, said, "I'm hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for a Republican before that said, it's time for the grown-up to come."

ROMNEY: I'm convinced that if this president is reelected, the war on business and economic freedom will continue. I don't think the president likes you very much. If you're in business, I think he looks at you as a necessary evil—and maybe not so necessary. I love you, all right? I love, I love business. I love people who employ other people, who have dreams and ideas, and are willing to start enterprises, and put people to work—all good things grow from successful enterprises.

As David Corn points out, Ann's comment isn't a one off or a gaffe:After Ann spoke, Romney made some extended remarks, including his hyperbolic statement that Obama "doesn't like you very much" and sees business people as "a necessary evil":
