The 47 Percent Comment Finally Gets Mentioned – Although the men didn’t have closing statements as in their previous debate, they wisely used their last moments to address a wide variety of concerns. Dogged by his “47 percent” comment, Obama made smart use of the mention in answering his last question, doing so while acknowledging Romney positively. “I believe Governor Romney is a good man. Loves his family, cares about his faith,” said Obama. “But I also believe that when he said behind closed doors that 47 percent of the country considered themselves victims who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about.”
