Mitt, wasn't it a Republican president that gave the 'gift' of emancipation to blacks?

I mean, if you want point fingers, the party that used to be yours gave them the 'gift' that eventually allowed Obama to run in the first place...

L for loser is tattooed on Mitt Romney's forehead for eternity. The 47% video provided by President Carter's grandson negotiations with the camera recorder and Mother Jones David Corn provided the iron for the L for loser. Mitt Romney's Underground Railroad to harvests American livelihoods in time of war to China fired up the burners for the Iron with the L for loser. Let Detroit go bankrupt and his crusade to crush the Union's and his let them self deport won no admirers within the Latino community. The actual branding occurred when he declared war on women's rights.
