Campaign: President Barack Obama

Campaign Dept: The president s campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift, Romney said in a call to donors on Wednesday. He made a big effort on small things, according to The Star. In the call, Romney didn t acknowledge any major missteps, such as his 47 per cent remarks widely viewed as denigrating nearly half of Americans, his lack of support for the auto bailout, his call for illegal immigrants to self-deport, or his change in position on abortion, gun control and other issues. He also didn t address the success or failure of the campaign s strategy of focusing on the economy in the face of some improvement in employment and economic growth during the months leading up to Election Day and wASHINGTON Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is telling top donors that President Barack Obama won re-election because of the gifts he had already provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters and because of the president s effort to paint Romney as anti-immigrant. Romney said his campaign, in contrast, had been about big issues for the whole country. He said he faced problems as a candidate because he was getting beat up by the Obama campaign and that the debates allowed him to come back. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
