This handout photo provided by Mary Washington Healthcare, taken April 16, 2013, Andrea Vassel of Mary Washington Healthcare explains the benefits of an advance directive at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, Va., as part of National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16. A poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found people 40 and older underestimate their chances of needing long-term care as they get older, and aren't doing enough to prepare. But about 47 percent say they have taken one step, creating an advance directive to outline the medical care they'd want if they couldn't communicate. (AP Photo/Mary Washington Healthcare)

FILE - This Oct. 29, 2012, file photo shows Adrian Green, wearing a 47 percent shirt chanting at a campaign rally for President Barack Obama, before former President Bill Clinton spoke, at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio. Campaign 2012 is rich with images that conjure the seriousness and silliness that unfold side-by-side in any presidential race. Nobody was laughing when an amateur video surfaced in September in which Romney seemed to dismiss 47 percent of Americans during remarks at a closed-door fundraiser earlier in the campaign. The fact that the video was surreptitiously recorded from the back of the room made it all the more juicy. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)

Obama supporters Allen Robinson, left, and his wife Nancy King Robinson pose for a portrait in their store, Books and Other Found Things, in Leesburg, Va., on Monday, Oct. 8, 2012. "I'm one of the 47 percent," says King Robinson, who has multiple sclerosis and receives Social Security disability. "I get it because I worked for it." She believes Romney revealed his "true colors" in his disparaging remarks, made at a private fundraiser, that 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes feel entitled to government handouts. Romney later renounced his comments, saying he was "completely wrong," but Allen Robinson isn't buying it. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

FILE - In this March 26, 2012, file photo, President Barack Obama, left, chats with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during a bilateral meeting at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South Korea. Mitt Romney’s remarks disparaging 47 percent of Americans are the latest in a string of poorly chosen words that play into Democrats’ portrayal of him as out of touch. But he’s not the only one plagued by a campaign gaffe deemed elitist by critics. an open microphone caught Obama telling Russia’s outgoing president that he needed space to work out their disagreements over U.S. missile defense plans. "After my election, I have more flexibility,” Obama quietly told Medvedev, who said he would carry that message home. Romney called it evidence that Obama is hiding a secret agenda for a second term.
