Mr Romney accused Mr Obama of following the "old playbook" by bestowing favors on key Democratic constituencies in exchange for their support at the ballot box.
"In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups," the defeated Republican presidential nominee said during a phone call with his national finance committee.
"With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift," Mr Romney said.
Mr Obama garnered 51 percent of the popular vote, while Mr Romney got 48 percent. The president's win was more decisive in the Electoral College, where he earned 332 votes against Mr Romney's 206.
Romney's remarks, reported by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, echoed controversial remarks made to donors at a private fundraiser, denigrating the "47 percent" of US voters who he said failed to pay income tax. » | Source: AFP | Thursday, November 15, 2012
