U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney acknowledged early on Wednesday that he had lost to President Barack Obama but told supporters he was praying for the success of the President.
“I believe in America. I believe in the people of America,” he told supporters in Boston. “I ran for office because I’m concerned about America. This election is over, but our principles endure.” He said he would pray for the success of Mr. Obama and for the country after he had told reporters on election day on Tuesday that he had not prepared a concession speech, only victory remarks.
“I so wish that I had been able to fulfil your hopes to lead your country in a new direction,” Governor Romney said before being joined on stage by his wife, Ann; family; and running mate, Paul Ryan, “but the nation chose another leader, and so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation.”
Instead of praying for Obama, Mitt Romney should be praying for himself and the
Republican party so that they can change to be more inclusive, compassionate and
full of common sense. When that happens we know it will be genuine miracle!
Our politicians should learn political decency from Americans.
Dear Mr Romney and family I supported you all the way, and I feel this election voted for the wrong man so here we go for 4 more years. I pray that you and your family find another direction so that you continue to be successful.
After election win of 2012,the onus now falls on Obama to take the US and world forward peacefully. He should analyse Mr. Romni's words of criticism positively and take corrective steps. One wonders how a country like US have unemployment? Democracy shall flourish and have an enriched meaning only if all countries use their money and land meticulously for peoples welfare.
Yes, Romney will pray for Obama and America, but during his concession speech he
never had the decency to ask Republicans to SUPPORT the government going forward
in order to conquer the daunting obstacles placed in Obama's way by the concerted
efforts of the GOP during the past four years. Shameless pandering to religion, guns
and narcissism didn't work, but Mitt is too disconnected to see that he
could still be a conservative leader, except for his total lack of ethical credibility in
the minds of most Americans.
What a gesture he is showing. Does this happen in India elections? I know Jayalalitha and Karunandhi would curse each other, leaving people and nation/state intrest far behind.
Good Gesture, Hard to find this in India
