Romney – the 47% and an Etch-a-Sketch

Romney creates an Etch-a-Sketch moment in trying to flip-flop his way out of his recently disclosed comments that 47% of American voters do not pay taxes and feel entitled to a wide array of government benefits, saying now he was “completely wrong”

Conservative pundit Sean Hannity asked Romney on Fox News how he would have responded if he was asked about the comments during the debate.

“Clearly in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you are going to say something that doesn’t come out right,” Romney answered. “In this case I said something that’s just completely wrong. And I absolutely believe, however, that my life has shown that I care about 100 percent. And that has been demonstrated throughout my life. And this whole campaign is about the 100 percent. When I become president it will be about helping the 100 percent.”
