This man has been such a bad president ..how is this race even close?

Because when Romney made his "47%" comment he was bang-on correct.

Add up the recipients of Obamaphones, food stamps, 99 weeks of unemployment, dodgy disability claims, cushy overpaid government jobs, union featherbedding, corrupt insider business deals, and other forms of Federal largesse, and you get 47% with their livelihoods directly tied to bigger government.

Again, he was only correct about the NUMBER who will vote for O no matter what.

That’s why HE said he didn’t say it right. That’s why RYAN said he was inarticulate.

FACTS: Obama will get millions of votes from liberal rich and middle class people who earn good incomes and who pay federal taxes and are not dependent on the government dole.

FACT: Romney will get millions of votes from working poor and lower middle class people who don’t happen to earn enough to owe federal income taxes and who are as self sufficient as they are able to be under the circumstances. Imagine a conservative man or woman who is poor because of unemployment and will blame Obama and vote for Romney. As just one example. There are millions of various examples of Romney voters who YOU say are voting for Obama, because of your allegiance to a comment that was admittedly SKEWED and did not reflect reality or what the man meant to convey.

You can cling to your dream world that the 47% comment was sacred, and you can blow off the truth every day for the rest of your life. That will not change the facts that the comment was skewed and the commenter himself, and his running mate, had the good graces and good sense to say so.
