Obama adviser David Plouffe defended the president’s lack of any mention of Romney’s 47 percent remarks in a post-debate appearance on MSNBC.
“First of all on the 47%, that’s an issue that just about 100% of the country knows about. It’s been chewed on over and appropriately so,” he said. “The reason it’s called Romney’s problem is because it wasn’t a gaffe. It was a revealing moment. We’ve run advertising on it so our strategy here was not zingers necessarily.”
