As per usual, we were correct (as we knew at the time). The Mitt Romney on that "47%" tape is the REAL Mitt Romney.
Saying that he and his team still felt “troubled” by his loss to President Obama, Mitt Romney on Wednesday attributed his defeat in part to what he called big policy “gifts” that the president had bestowed on loyal Democratic constituencies, including young voters, African-Americans and Hispanics.
...
“With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest was a big gift,” Mr. Romney said. “Free contraceptives were very big with young, college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents’ plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008.”
Damn those brown-skins, modern-day, sinful Eves, and education strivers! How dare they think themselves equal to someone like me, with their stupid needs!
I do believe a certain Bishop has trouble understanding how politics works. It was a race, not a coronation, you oblivious dickhead. And what did you give us? Oh right. You fired up the goddamned whackjobs on the far right.

He's just cranky because we rejected the gifts he was offering, like lower taxes for the extremely well-off, and the Keystone pipeline, and all those lucrative defense contracts.

So the gifts he was going to give his cronies weren't gifts at all, but their DUE as The Anointed Ones?
Mitt, check out that mote in your OWN eye, dickhead.

I thought of this immediately upon hearing Romney's statement: can we please get a Wt or TWolf photoshop of "young, college age women" carrying giant rubbers, IUDs and birth-control-pill cases? Just to memorialize how "big" Obama's gift of contraceptives was to them? I'm thinking maybe sitting around a college lawn, or perhaps in a TGIFs?
