Nowhere in the quote does Romney say, or even suggest, that FEMA is immoral.
He doesn't specifically single out FEMA, but it is included under his umbrella idea that it's "immoral" to run up debt in order to pay for programs such as Disaster Relief at the Federal level. His comment was another of his vague answers to a question that did mention FEMA by name. But no, FEMA doesn't come out of his mouth. Some have connected the dots.
Yes, but I don't think it's vague. He's responding to a very specific question - about disaster relief. He thinks it's immoral to provide "those things" at the federal level.
It speaks not just to a callous attitude but also to lack of knowledge about how disaster response works in our country.
