Romney Right About Obama's Gifts To Special Groups

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Election Postmortem: Some in the GOP have taken to trashing 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney for recent comments he made about his loss. We can't say we agree with the criticisms, since what Romney said is true.

Here's the comment that seems to have riled the Republican elite: "The president's campaign," said Romney, "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."

Yes, that could hurt the GOP further with solidly Democratic groups that many in the party of the elephant continue to believe are "natural Republicans." But Romney spoke the plain, unvarnished truth.

Using the divide-and-conquer tactics of Saul Alinsky, Obama successfully exploited age, income, class, race and ethnic divisions to the detriment of Republicans, while smearing Romney as an uncaring, rapacious Wall Street capitalist who murdered a steel worker's wife.

But sure, GOP, pile on Romney, who also remarked that Obama was "very generous" to African Americans, Hispanics and young voters. So why does this offend? It's so obviously true it shouldn't need defending.
