I mean, this is huge.

Romney Blames Loss on Obama’s ‘Gifts’ - The Daily Beast - There’s an old saying, Mr. Romney: “Excuses are like buttholes. Everyone’s got one, and they all stink.” In a conference call Wednesday, Mitt Romney blamed his loss in the presidential election on “gifts and initiatives” President Obama gave to young, African-American, and Hispanic voters. He said Obama followed the “old playbook” of catering to specific demographics. Romney also gave specific examples. For young people, forgiveness of college loan interest was “a big gift,” as was free contraceptives. He said free healthcare “was a big plus” for Hispanics and African-Americans voters, too. “You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year, being told you’re now going to get free health care … is huge.”

Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me,” Obama said during his first news conference since Election Day.

Reputation, Reputation, Reputation - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - As Lyndon Johnson said, the two things that make leaders stupid are envy and sex. -- It’s been a steep fall for Peaches Petraeus, once the darling of Congress and journalists, Republicans and Democrats, Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelley. - Washington is suffused with schadenfreude. Yet President Obama and others felt genuinely sad to see a man so controlling about integrity and image — he warned protégés that “someone is always watching” — spin out of control on integrity and image. As Shakespeare wrote in “Othello”: “Reputation, reputation, reputation.”
