I bet my [right]wingnut friends are glad that Mitt Romney is no longer on the national political stage. Poor Mitt still doesn't get it. Now he blames Obamacare for losing the minority vote. (Like it's only brown people who don't want to pay the increasing cost of health case.) If he could have just let those folks in the 47% know that he loved them. Or, you could look at it the way Tommy Christopher does: That Mitt is still "bragging about winning white people".
"The president had the power of incumbency, 'Obamacare' was very attractive, particularly to those without insurance, and they came out in large numbers to vote," Romney said. "So that was part of a successful campaign."
'I think the 'Obamacare' attractiveness and feature was something we underestimated, particularly among lower incomes,' Romney said." [Source]
"Lower incomes". Poor Mitt, he refers to human beings with the same detached way one would talk about numbers on a balance sheet.
SNIP:
Still, I suspect that it wasn't only poor or minority voters who wanted universal and affordable health care. Check out these two comments after the article I quoted from:
"Interesting I am neither low income nor a minority and I fought hard to get Obamacare passed". And....."Exactly. I have worked my whole adult life for universal health care. Romney and his ilk are F ing liars."

Such a genteel way to refer to Mitt's issues.

However the article was referring to Bob Woodward. It does work well for either of them!

I'm not sorry for me. I'm in good shape. I'm sorry for this country because I'm not in the White House.
Wow. So glad we don't have to put up with that.

Before Woodward breaks out the smoking jacket and Al Green CDs, though, he ought to get his facts straight. Woodward told Schieffer that he had never said Gene Sperlings email was threatening, but the description he gave to CNNs Wolf Blitzer crried that clear implication, and deliberately omitted the treacly sweetness of the rest of Sperlings email. Blitzer certainly read it that way, and when he told Woodward that those of us who have known you for a long time, we know youre not going to be intimidated or threatened by any senior official at the White House, Woodwards response was Indeed.

Where is Carl Bernstein when you need him? He was the real star of this duo.
Bob should have hung up his typewriter (yes typewriter) when Bernstein checked out. Sadly for him, though, it's too late. Now the entire country knows that he is a few books short of a library.
