Bush, in addition to the continuous Fox New spiel, gave ultra-conservatives some sort of a sense of entitlement in terms of having someone of their political leanings in power, and they cannot accept that others with opposing views have an equal right to cast ballots.<br /><br />I'm also amazed at Romney's latest rantings. After giving what I thought was a classy concession speech, he's whining about Obama's "gift" policies unfairly skewing the vote against him. I suspect that having grown up wealthy, privileged, and in a religious faith in which his pedigree was esteemed has left him rather ill-equipped to deal with the wins and losses of life that others of us face on a regular basis. I'll concede (rather obviously) that his loss was a bigger loss than I've ever faced, but then, something gave him the view that he was "entitled" to the presidency. The polls were saying one thing, he was saying another, and yet he was so blindsided when the non-Romney-commissioned polls ended up being right correct all. He is an interesting study in both self-entitlement and self-delusion.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-25769512229732189282012-11-14T08:43:01.791-08:002012-11-14T08:43:01.791-08:00I'm amazed by all the complaining and bitterne...I'm amazed by all the complaining and bitterness about the outcome of this election.
