*The voting may be over, but GOP candidate Mitt Romney is still throwing his last few swings.
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama dished out a little praise to his former rival, only to get a slew of accusations from Romney.
“The president’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift, so he made a big effort on small things,” the (former) governor told his supporters during a conference call. “Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.”
Further, Romney says Obama was “very generous” to black, Hispanics and young voters. He also apologized over the call for being… er uh… losing the election.
Romney claimed Obama had been “very generous” to blacks, Hispanics and younger voters, according to the Times, insisting that the policy decisions had been a decisive factor in high turnout that tipped the scale against him.
“I am very sorry that we didn’t win. I know that you expected to win,” Romney reportedly said. “We expected to win…. It was very close, but close doesn’t count in this business.”
Several participants on the call confirmed to ABC News the account and quotes presented by the L.A. Times.
Senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod responded to the “gifts” remark by accusing Romney of “still looking at America through that 47 percent prism.”
“Mitt tells donors the takers did him in,” Axelrod wrote on Twitter, referencing Romney’s remarks earlier this year disparaging 47 percent of Americans as self-perceived “victims” and government dependents.

i am sooo glad this dick lost the election i could poot lilies and lilacs.
LOL!!!!! Romney with his robotic azz still does not GET IT!!! he is so out of hte loop with the common man, a lot of people do not have the SILVER SPOON life style that he and his family enjoys, people need adequate health care and and student loans/grants for whomever wants to further their education etc. He is such a prick!! I could care less if we ever hear from him again!!
lol Because Whites don’t need help with healthcare too. This guy has no class. No grace. Self-entitled s.o.b. He’s been rejected over and over, first by Massachussetts, then by his party in 2008, and then by the country in 2012. Still, it’s someone else’s fault he lost. lol
Hello?? Whites, who make up the majority in this country, have benefitted tremendously from Obamacare. He’s an elitist and a racist. He also think that there is something wrong with adding money to education grants and partial payments of loans?? Does this fool not realize that not everyone has the same means to pay for college out of their own pocket? Does he not realize that whites benefit from that too? His comments are not even worth entertaining anymore. He truly would’ve been a disaster for this country, particularly, the working, the middle and the poor classes of people. Good riddance to rubbish!
Awwwww, Poor Mitt. He can’t handle the truth.
Although seemingly impolitic, I don’t get the issue with his statement.
Most people I know and the many I don’t said they supported Obama over Romney because Obama favored more govt and Romney did not. That Obama would create more programs and policies geered towards the middle class and Romney would not.
Impolitic? Yes
“I don’t get the issue with his statement.”…could the issue be he is incorrect dumb azz? geezzz, nobody is getting any “gifts” you dumb lump of dog shyt.
LMBO!! Did you expect anything else from this fool?? Just like Romney…he doesn’t see anything wrong with what he said…never have…never will
“Mitt tells donors the takers did him in,”
Romney and even some of the Obama supporters are making this way too complicated. Obama simply won because the demography who votes Republican has long dwindled past the point to make them relevant in an election. The Republicans have been winning elections of late by fraud and various voter suppression schemes, but the numbers are just too much against them for that to work anymore.
There are even low self esteem individuals, who are so shocked that a black man could become president, that they ascribe it to some unique virtuosity on the part of Obama. But he ain’t all that different from any other Democrat. A good, but not a perfect man. He still signed the NDA Act and refuses to prosecute war criminals. He also won’t even acknowledge the prison industrial complex which disproportionately targets blacks. Because of all this, I feared that he would lose too much support from young and progressive voters, but in the end we still voted for him because he is a still a Democrat and a far better alternative to the opposition.
You also have the race hustlers who claims blacks voted for him only because of his color and whites won’t vote for him for the same. But all the statistic shows that whites were no less likely to vote for Obama than any other Democrat before him. Nothing has changed but the demography that vote Republican versus Democrat. That’s why the Republicans won’t win another election. Too bad Romney is still too stupid to figure that out.
“we still voted for him because he is a still a Democrat and a far better alternative to the opposition.” speak for yourself doodoo head, i voted for Barack because he is the best man to lead the country. not sure who is dumber, u are your dumb azz counterpart up there.
“i voted for Barack because he is the best man to lead the country.”
You funny man.
What’s the difference between that and what I said?
There were only two candidates with any chance of winning. By defining Obama as a “far better alternative” is the same thing as saying ” he is the best man to lead the country.”
OK, between Romney and Obama, Obama was the best man to lead to country. That’s why I voted for him.
I said it, so are you satisfied now?
There was a typo, so let me say it again to make sure you got it:
Between Romney and Obama, Obama was the best man to lead the country.
yo, genius, let me help u out here. to apply “alternative” to the lexicon minimizes what a great candidate my President was the last 4 year/and will be this next 4 years. “alternative” with regards to choosing a candidate implys that neither of them are a great choice so you choose the lesser of the two evils. which is how you feel based on you history in this forum. so, that being said, sit down, shut up and watch “my” President do the dayum thing, and look forward to the next time u get a chance to possibly choose someone more in line with you fucd up value system. k?
No numbnuts, for me he was not the “alternative”, he was the best man period. just like i said. nuccas too smart for they own fuckn good. trying so hard to out wordsmith a motherfucr that they talk they own azz into a bytch.
There is no wordsmithing going on. “He was the best man period” implies that he was the best from the pool of candidates. Who else is there to compare him with?
“a great candidate my President was the last 4 year/and will be this next 4 years”
“Great?!” So typical of an Obama apologist.
Look man, there are many good qualities of Obama. We know his heart is in the right place, but his strength and conviction may not quite be there yet. When he came in, he intended to close Gitmo, but eventually caved to the Republicans. He even went further by signing the NDA Act. He is neither perfect nor “great”, at least not by his first term’s record. What we need to do is to encourage the man to achieve the greatness which we know he is capable of in his second term. Having yes men like you won’t quite get it done.
Is he really capable of greatness? That’s a very, very heavy accolade. Few men in life have been capable of greatness. By making history alone he will be remembered, but greatness? I don’t think he has it in him or maybe I have a less transactional view of greatness.
He is going to be pushed…to the center and I’m waiting to see the response from most of his radical supporters who thought republicans were trying to take something away from them. Wait until these debt negotiations come under way or these automatic cuts..or even those recommended by Simpson-Bowles.
How he explain’s a “closer to republican” message will be an interesting watch.
Anyone with the office of presidency has the capability to be great. Obama just seems to be losing track of how to get there. Take the Affordable Care Act. Candidate Obama campaigned on the public option, which would be a great legislation if enacted in that manner. But as president, he allowed his handlers to to steer him off track with the mandate. Delivering instead a great coup for insurance companies at voter’s expense.
yes, “great”. ya dayum crustacean tomalley
And in other news the unemployment figures for October came out today and spiked upward once again….this is really working out well right?
He will never ever admit that he lost because he was a lousy candidate who ran an ineffective campaign. Plus he got his ass beat in a landslide by a Black man! Imagine the pain that will bring to him, Ryan and queen Ann for the rest of their lives. Priceless!
Oh well, the shit is over with now so who really cares…your rich so move on…
Romney needs to suck it up, he lost ! The president was “very generous” to “blacks, hispanics and younger voters” he says? I bet that’s not how Romney and his cronies said it in private. Romney needs to go home and lick his wounds and quit trying to burden us with his whining.
I’m waiting to see people admit that they did not vote for Obama because of his positon wrt to gov’t…vs. Romney’s. He is the head of the fed gov’t you know?
Sure it was crass. But why act surprised that people think blacks want handouts when we voted 93% for one candidate. And although whites will benefit these same programs, they also don’t vote 93% for one
partycandidate. we are the only “group” who vote in one large bloc.You are wrong white folk have voted for white from day one. You got it twisted!
(Still singing in my sleep!/B. Hope style!!) “Thaaaaaaaaanks for the memories” etc……!
