We got that lackwit Obama and the kool aid drinkers are getting screwed along with everybody else. They just can't admit it or aren't smart enough to realize it. I don't think Romney would have been the mindless rubber stamp Obama is. They could put pressure on him to do many of the same things that Obama has done, but they couldn't expect blind obedience like they can from Obama. Romney supporters also wouldn't be the pushovers that Obama supporters are. He'd have to keep the people happy to an extent.
Romney supporters lost because they are better at insulting people and calling others names than they are at coming up with ideas or solutions.
The fact of the matter is, it makes no difference who gets elected. The differences are there for the public entertainment. POTUS is a figure head and nothing more. Regardless of who the people elect, the man behind the curtain (Wizard of Oz reference) is the one making the decisions. It is no longer about "We the people". It is "we the elite".
Had Romney been elected, we would be embroiled in Middle Eastern conflict (again), with troops on the ground in various countries, and trillions of dollars in additional debt because of it. Another recession and unemployment going back up to the Bush-era levels of over 10% (which Obama inherited).
Sorry but as a liberal, you are wrong again like always. 3 times the number of whites think Obama has damaged race relations than improved them and blacks agree...almost twice as many blacks believe Obama has damaged race relations more than those that think he has improved race relations.
Secondly, I'm not surprised you would blame Pres. Obama.
I guarantee you that the issue of race would never have been broached by a lily white Mormon from Utah if he were President. What on earth could the Mittster offer up on the subject?

The people blame Obama, you're just out of step with the people or ignoring what people are saying in opinion polls.
Referencing "lily white Mormon" just sounds racist and hateful toward people who practice a religion that, unlike Islam, does not promote violence.
I don't subscribe to such racist comments but indeed he has damaged race relations by his actions and p0licies.
How has he damaged anything or anyone? Putting the stark realities in people faces is not damaging our country. Contrary to most trains of thought the world sees right through this crap. I guess he has smashed a lot of ROSE COLORED GLASSES!
Trump is smashing a lot of glasses as well but for his benefit alone.
Obama got some many worked up with the phrase "Clinging to their Bibles and Guns"!
The pushback was "Who does that uppity ****** think he is"?
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Very few white people even know(or care) of the things black soldiers did during WWll. Such as the RED BALL EXPRESS.
These are differences had Romney been elected:
1. We would be about 5-7 Trillion less in debt if Romney had been elected.
2. He would also not try to force states to take poorly vetted ISIS soldiers into their states.
3. Race relations would be better
4 Income inequality would be reduced, particularly with respect to the black versus white wealth divide.
Please explain how Romney elected in 2012 would have reduced the debt by 5-7 Trillion? That is three budget cycles, for an average decrease of $2 trillion a year from a $3.8 trillion budget. Since the big ticket items are Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Defense, how is that even possible? Moreover, reducing spending that much is how depressions are made.

Where would we be with Romney?
