Romney: Obama won with 'gifts' to certain voters: WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
In the call, Romney didn't acknowledge any major missteps, such as his "47 percent" 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.
Obama won the popular vote by about 3.5 million votes, or 3 percent, and won the Electoral College by a wide margin, 332-206 electoral votes. Exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks showed that Obama led Romney by 11 percentage points among women and won better than 7 of 10 Hispanic voters and more than 9 of 10 black voters.

Let's talk a little about the women voters who do support Republican candidates such as Romney.
As pearls are nothing more than strings of grits given as gifts by men to pacify their wives...
As the definition of a "gift" being something that must first be accepted...
Who is it accepting these pearls, strings of grits, as gifts giving them their value...
other than submissive wives happily preferring to live off their husband's livelihood or successful conservative women having bought their own set of grits?!

"NOW THOSE...
(pointing to an expensive string of black and white pearls)
IF A MAN BOUGHT ME...
NOT ONLY WOULD I HAVE SEX WITH HIM...
I WOULD ENJOY IT!"

Isn't She Great
Isn't She Great is a 2000 American biographical film.
A highly fictionalized account of the life and career of best-selling author Jacqueline Susann, the Universal Pictures release focuses on her early struggles as an aspiring actress relentlessly hungry for fame, her relationship with press agent husband Irving Mansfield, with whom she had an institutionalized autistic son, her success as the author of Valley of the Dolls, and her battle with and subsequent death from breast cancer.
Paul Rudnick's screenplay, based on a 1995 New Yorker profile by Michael Korda, was directed by Andrew Bergman. The cast includes Bette Midler as Susann, Nathan Lane as Mansfield, Stockard Channing as Susann's gal pal Florence Maybelle, David Hyde Pierce as book editor Michael Hastings, and John Cleese as publisher Henry Marcus, with John Larroquette, Amanda Peet, Christopher McDonald, Debbie Shapiro, and Paul Benedict in supporting roles.
Midler was nominated for a Worst Actress Golden Raspberry Award. Opening in 750 US theatres on January 28, 2000, it was assaulted by the critics and shunned by the public, and domestically earned only $2,954,405 at the box office, far less than its cost of $36 million.

I'm surprised the movie flopped at the box office.
I liked it!
As far as Bette Midler's acting...
no worse than Bette Midler always acting.
LOUD!
