He congratulated Obama and his family.

I'm glad he continued to preach bi-partisanship. Hopefully the Repubs will see the writing on the wall and quit obstructing every little thing.

I hear that Harry Reid is considering killing the rule that allows unlimited filibusters....

This is a day for rejoicing.

victory speech and part of that delay was to allow them to slap together a concession speech. That man was and is not leader of the free world quality. I think he's lazy and his sense of entitlement plus being a member of a fairly insular group has carried him along through life. He lacks skills. May I repeat that? He lacks skills--and empathy. Just clueless. He's worse than Bush ever could be.

I watched and listened to that loser/vulture capitalist responsible for causing so much harm and misery to so many Americans by sending their jobs to china and I literally cheered and clapped and I know that I was seen as a crazy by my neighbors. Great day in the morning, this morning. America/POTUS still has a challenge, the House and Boner.

shows how he oblivious he is, and that he ignored most of the pre-election polls. He's either delusional in thinking he would still triumph over Pres. Obama, or he thought the fix was in and the election would be close enough to steal.

So glad he went down in flames--I only hope this kills his political career once and for all.

time he stole the Presidency I could not look at that man anymore. I'd put my hands in front of my face when he'd make announcements. Romney would have been worse for me as far as tolerance. I fear I'd of turned into a maniac throwing stuff at the TV. I am so happy our handsome President Obama will be there now and not Romney. So happy......

Romney was the MOST electable candidate the GOP could run.

Romney will disappear from the national stage. We'll see and hear very little about him in the future.

His walk, with those dainty steps, was such a hoot. That kind of body language reveals a weak, unsure, scared man. An adult should walk with confidence. At least fake a swagger, anything but those baby steps.

Sorry, but a 2-minute concession speech doesn't erase months of negativity and constant lies on the campaign trail.

On the other hand, I am giddy beyond belief his 6-year run for the Presidency is o-v-e-r!!!
