Romney Concedes Election and Endorses Obama

Romney Concedes Election and Endorses Obama

by Billionaires for Wealthcare



In a stunning turn of events Mitt Romney has conceded the 2012 election and endorsed President Obama for another four year term.

Speaking with Jon Ralston, Romney said, "if (voters) feel the economy is going in the right direction, they ought to vote for Barack Obama."

For once, Romney is right. With 23 consecutive months of job growth, with 10 consecutive quarters of GDP growth, with jobless claims at their lowest levels in 4 years, and with the unemployment rate falling to its lowest level since January 2009, one can only conclude the economy is going in the right direction. And as Romney says, this means President Obama should be re-elected.

I have to say, it is magnanimous of Romney to cut such a ringing campaign commercial for the Obama campaign.

Let's hear it for Mitt -- three cheers~!

Whatever Eastwood got for his promo ... Rmoney deserves twice as much.

This is priceless.


I don't know where he got foot in mouth disease, but I'm glad he did.

Quote after Quotable Quote for ads and narratives that write themselves:

The Flub Watch Never Stops for Obama’s Team

Bill Burton’s moment came a week and a half ago while he was in his family room watching Mr. Romney take Newt Gingrich to task for talking about putting a colony on the moon. If someone made such a proposal to him, Mr. Romney said, “I’d say, ‘You’re fired.’ ”

... another gift from Mr. Romney — now dubbed “the gift that keeps on giving” by some on the Obama team. “Just when you thought we had enough videotape about him firing people, he gives you one more,” Mr. Burton, who leads a political action committee backing the president, said before laughing.

and the Dems every time he opens his mouth. The biggest problem the President's campaign team is going to have is in choosing which of the many clips of Rmoney to use in their ads.

To "vote for the other guy" if they think Planned Parenthood should get funding. I agree with him, and will be voting for the other guy. LOL!
