President Barack Obama: The Republican Party

U.S. Senate Dept: Republican Mitt Romney s defeat by President Barack Obama was compounded by the party s failure to take control of the U.S. Senate, according to The Star. If I hear anybody say it was because Romney wasn t conservative enough, I m going to go nuts, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a Nov. 5 interview with Politico. We re not losing 95 per cent of African-Americans and two-thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we re not being hard-ass enough. The feud within the Republican Party after the shock of losing to an incumbent president weakened by four years of economic discontent started before the votes were even counted.
