FISHERSVILLE, Va - 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."

Romney went on to say that his life has shown he cares about "100 percent and that's been demonstrated through my life and this whole campaign is about the 100 percent."

1. Oh, horseshit. He was doing his CEO pitch and he said whatever his customers would buy

Presumably everyone at that meeting (hosted by a hedge fund manager) was a "savvy investor". The fact that both he thought they would buy it and that none of them called him on it points to ALL of them actually believing it.

Mitt was among his own peers that day, and they all have the same arrogant dumbass blind spots.

2. Mitt wanted to be able to say this in the debate.

3. Yep! That's why he had to go on Shamity's program to

make the announcement, "I was wrong."
