Now he tells us: Mitt Romney’s son Tagg told the Boston Glob that his father didn’t really want to be president that much. Well, that’s just great. Just f—ing great.

  • He focused on the low-information, and the untrue-information voter, and they, combined with those voters who do not really exist, to re-elect the annointed on. Of course, the media helped a lot with keeping large percentages of voters in the first two categories.

  • I knew it!

    He knows the job´s going to stink in the next 4 years, a lot more than it already does.

    • Obama's "win" may be the mother of all pyrrhic victories:

      " The President ran a brilliant campaign. He ran overwhelmingly negative ads, early and focused and targeting the battleground states. He was able to define Romney, and his messaging was perfectly calibrated for his target audiences. Given his first term record, he really had no other choice, and his execution was first-rate.

      But now he will reap what he sowed. His pretense of being a uniter, someone who can reach across the aisle and work together to solve pressing problems, lies in ruins. Whatever reservoir of goodwill and trust that existed in January 2009 is now bone dry.

      So, yes, he won. But it will almost certainly be a Pyrrhic victory. He chose to divide the country deeply to win his second term. He will find that the nation he will again lead is not governable by him, and he may have tipped it to where it is not governable by anyone. He is so deeply despised by so much of the country that he will never be able to do what needs to be done (assuming he even wanted to, which does not appear likely).

      The reaping will begin sooner than he probably expects. The ship of state is heading toward the Scylla and Charybdis of the fiscal cliff (in 2012) and Obamacare (in 2013). At work, we have been looking at the impact of Obamacare, and all I can say is that the average person has absolutely no idea how enormous the impact will be on their life. It will be an enormous shock to the system, and it will hit almost everyone in the country."

  • Of course, Romney didn't want to be president. He was just ensuring by his Corporate Greed masters that Ron Paul didn't get the nomination. We can't have a president that would actually stand up against Corporate Greed and fight for the people's rights, now can we?

    Romney was a diversion.

  • Then why didn't he just support Herman Cain?
    We would have a much better man in the White House if that happened.

    • Herman Cain never did much for me. None the the nominees did (save Ron Paul, but I won't talk about Corporate greed or anything). I liked Michele Bachmann, but I don't think she handled the Presidential stage very well. I preferred Santorum over Romney near the end, but like Romney he was never serious enough for me about the issues I care about and neither of the two really connected with me. I was also not impressed with Paul Ryan, he just didn't connect either.

      All I know is I'm done with the Republican party. I voted for Romney, I gave in. I voted Libertarian across the board after that when I had the opportunity. They all lost, and the Republicans all lost in those state races as well, but what you're seeing now is the birth of a third party if the Republican party does not produce another Reagan, and soon. People are getting tired of the two party system where both parties exchange power every few years and both parties facilitate the destruction of our county. Something has to change. It won't happen over night, but give it 15 or 20 years because the Republicans and their weak candidates are driving people away left and right.
