Mitt Romney for the first time characterized his comments during a fundraiser that were surreptitiously filmed and caught the candidate essentially writing off 47 percent of Americans as "completely wrong."
"Clearly in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you're gonna say something that doesn't come out right," Romney said in an interview Wednesday night with Fox News' Sean Hannity. "In this case I said something that's just completely wrong."

Thank you. Good post.
What was wrong was that he inferred that all of those on government support, including people on unemployment, would not vote for him.
If you are unemployed and collecting unemployment and really WANT a job, Romney is the guy for you.
If you just want to sit back, collect that unemployment check and then graduate onto welfare and medicare, vote for Obama.
thanks :)
Media’s little game is boring. A little appeasement may calm them down.
yeah i see your point.
The Democrats could run the Boston Strangler and that 47% would vote for him just because he's got a "D" behind his name.
The really bad news is that they've nearly succeeded in forming a 51% absolute majority. And with immigration, their victory seems assured, assuming that there isn't some major reaction by the oppressed 49% (there seems no movement toward that at this time).
We're basically screwed.
I’m sure Romney is extremely ready to discuss his 47% remark in a debate. The Obama team probably knows what will happen if Obama brings it up, and they know it won’t make Obama shine.
A liberal flip-flopper - get used to seeing the liar and double faced Mitt Happens in a Romney White House.
Ugghh.... I’m not expecting anything to change under him. The only positive thing is hopefully America will stop declining.
That’s good enough for me as I can’t stand his social policies - and you all know what they are.
And you don't think that's good?
On the other hand that's an intensely private organization ~ with an enormous endowment.
I think you should review your list again
Nobody paying income tax is good. Everybody paying income tax is less good. Half the people levying taxes on the other half is bad.
I would imagine that even a private institution like Harvard has deep contacts with government at all levels. Research grants, student loans, pell grants, etc.
Their endowment is incredibly large, so they don't work like a normal school.
Regarding contracts, that's business.
Your Congress levies taxes ~ so that’s bad too?
