Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul said that Romney’s comments were reflective of his support of welfare reform legislation. “Moving welfare recipients into work was one of the basic principles of the bipartisan welfare reform legislation that President Clinton signed into law. The sad fact is that under President Obama, the poverty rate among women rose to 14.5 percent in 2011, the highest rate in 17 years. The Obama administration’s economic policies have been devastating to women and families,” she wrote in an email.
