Romney Dings Obama for 'Gifts' to Minority Voters

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-offers-olive-branch-romney-dings-president-gifts-225118017--abc-news-politics.html

President Obama today heaped praise on his defeated rival, GOP nominee Mitt Romney, saying the former governor's record and ideas "could be very helpful" in shaping policy over the next four years

"My hope is, before the end of the year… that we have a chance to sit down and talk," Obama told reporters in his first post-election press conference.

But even as Obama extended something of an olive branch - which some skeptics saw as disingenuous - Romney was reportedly accusing the president of doling out "gifts" to minority voters to curry their support for a second term.

"The President's campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift-so he made a big effort on small things," Romney told donors on a conference call, first reported by Maeve Reston of the L.A. Times. "Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars."

Tell me where. Please show me the voter suppression. Oh because R's wanted people to have an ID to vote? So that is supression? To prove who you are? Yeah right, and guess what that law did not even take effect. So where did R's supress the vote?

Oh Mrs.P, you forgot the part about another person soon to follow on the right that will certainly be an idotic woman hater to you!  god willing?  

I do my best not to call Obama names, I really do.  But he is our president and deserves our respect.  Romney is now just a citizen and I'm sure open to any names anyone wants to throw his way.  I'm sure the guy has to be semi relieved to fade away.  Politics are wicked.

" Well, it is okay to call him an idiot I guess.  Feels good?"

No. I'm not calling him an idiot to make myself feel good. If he didn't say idiotic things like this then I wouldn't have to.

"He'll drift off to nowhere land in the future as those who failed at running for the presidency do."

God willing....

He'll drift off to nowhere land in the future as those who failed at running for the presidency do.  And then we'll have someone new on the right to be called an idiot, woman hater.

47% statement was fact. 47% no matter what he did or said was not going to vote for him so why should he spend time trying to get there vote?
