More than one week after the United States presidential elections in
which he was defeated by incumbent and Democratic candidate, Barack
Obama, the Republican flag bearer, Mitt Romney, at a conference call
with donors, Thursday, alleged that his efforts to beat Obama at the
polls was unsuccessful because of ‘gifts’ the administration gave to
black, hispanic and young voters.
“The President’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift, so he made a big effort on small things. Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.” Mr Romney said.
He pointed at healthcare reform legislation and a decision to suspend deportation of certain illegal immigrants who came to the country as children by the president, proved “highly motivational” on Election Day.
