What the media is missing......

It is not that he just threw half of the country under the bus, he did it with racial overtones. Consider the audience and then consider that he said that "THEY" consider themselves "VICTIMS". This is pure code for black people regarding slavery, and this kind of thought lives in the minds of many insecure white people around the country.

Obama won the election due to 53% of voters voting for him.....

So no, Romney wasn't just talking about Black people,
he was talking about millions of Americans, period!

I never said he was just talking about black people. He used the words I talk about above for racial reasons however. This is how republicans in the south have gotten people to vote against their own interests for years. It goes right there with food stamp president and welfare queens.

The reason that this tape is so devastating to Romney is exactly
because Romney is dissing ALL Americans who voted for Obama!

Black folks have seen and heard enough racism being displayed right in front of our faces from Republicans
for a long time, and in particular, these past 3.7 years, and that ain't what is gonna break or make this election,
evidently!

I think it is time for White America to see that Romney will make us all Slaves,
if his ass is able to get into the White House! That includes them!

That is why it is important to note that Romney was talking about Obama voters, period,
and most of them were not African-American...as it is a fact that over 62 million people voted for Barack Obama....
and Romney called us ALL moochers. end.
