The MSNBC presidency: Obama accused Romney using coded racism in 2012 concession call
Hot Air ^ | 2/04/2015 | Noah Rothman

"In “Believer: My 40 Years in Politics,” former senior Obama adviser David Axelrod writes that the GOP candidate implied on the call that Obama had won because of his popularity in black communities, according to the New York Daily News, which acquired an advance copy of the book.

Obama was “unsmiling during the call, and slightly irritated when it was over,” according to Axelrod.

“‘You really did a great job of getting out the vote in places like Cleveland and Milwaukee,’ in other words, black people. That’s what he thinks this was all about,” Obama said after he hung up with Romney."

Obama now holds “victim” status.

If there is anything worse than a sore loser it’s a sore winner.

Ohio, Wisconsin and Virginia are also where Romney ran pro-choice ads.

Romney killed his own turn out.

More likely it was coded accusations of vote fraud and buying.

Romney was a sore loser. But he has no one to blame but himself.

0 didn't win because he got black people to vote for him...he won because he got STUPID people to vote for him.

“‘You really did a great job of getting out the vote in places like Cleveland and Milwaukee,’ in other words, black people. That’s what he thinks this was all about,” Obama said after he hung up with Romney."

See, Liberals want to swing the racial sword only one way, but the reality is that Romney was right, if this is accurate. I mean, isn't it common knowledge that for Democrats to win they have to bump up the Black turnout? Isn't *wink, wink* commonly understood but unspoken that the Democrats and Black "leaders" fan the racial flames every 4 years about six months before the election, again, simply to gin up the Black vote?

And, why is it never considered in the racial equation that 97% of Blacks exclusively voted for one candidate? Isn't that racially tinged?

So, yeah, more racial shenanigans by Axelrod and the DNC to try and further damage opponents as all being closet racists.

All that walkin’ around money for ACORN and the social justice groups paid for by lawsuits and government grants really helped!

Can I ask a stupid question?

Why would Obama be mad about such comments? He won. In fact as he gloated at State of the Union he won both his presidential elections. Why the heck would he be so petty as to hold a grudge about what his loser opponent said about the election?????

Obola was mad because Romney called him a cheater. Black voter turnout means stuffing ballot boxes in Obola land. Basically Mitt said, great job of cheating.

Romney: "Great get out the vote effort!"
Axelrod: "That's racist."

Axelrod is projecting his own guilt. Pathetic.

So, getting out the black vote in Wisconsin and Ohio wasn’t critical to Obama winning those states?

The mainstream media, the NAACP, the black panthers, and whoever else constantly tells us that being black makes you a communist and if you are black but not a communist you are an “uncle Tom” and that is somehow Romney’s fault?

And yes, it was more likely a reference to vote buying and voter fraud.

Obama, it’s good he won two elections, otherwise there is no way he could go down in history as America’s worst President.

Find the 220+
Page report published before the election when Indiana’s SOS decertified a certain voting machine. Then compare it to the areas where it was used.
Romney knew the fix was in -—probably the reason he gave up
