redcliff: I feel he did not have enough charisma to beat Obama..Americans prefer a person who got swag and less intelligent than a person who is intelligent and got less swag cos truly really, the president is just the supervisory head of the various institutions. The main decisions are made by the house.

I totally disagree with your comment, @redcliff angry. Are you insinuating that Obama is not intelligent? The fact that decisions are being made by "various institutions" doesn't mean the President is not intelligent. From what I can deduce so far throughout my watching Obama, I believe (and I know for a fact) that he is way more intelligent and too smart for Romney.

And oh, while Obama may not have "swag", he has class. Abi which would you prefer? Class or swag? I doubt you can even deduce which is higher. Meanwhile, na which day we go get president like Obama for this our obodo Nigeria sef? grin I don tire to dey see that our retardeen president, who can't even give a speech without reading from a paper. Na God go help us!

Turbocharged: ROMNEY:

I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory. His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations.
ROMNEY: His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations. I wish all of them well, but particularly the president, the first lady and their daughters.
(APPLAUSE)
This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.



ROMNEY: The nation, as you know, is at a critical point. At a time like this, we can’t risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people’s work.
And we citizens also have to rise to the occasion. We look to our teachers and professors, we count on you not just to teach, but to inspire our children with a passion for learning and discovery.
We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis and counselors of all kinds to testify of the enduring principles upon which our society is built: honesty, charity, integrity and family.
We look to our parents, for in the final analysis everything depends on the success of our homes.
ROMNEY: We look to job creators of all kinds. We’re counting on you to invest, to hire, to step forward.
And we look to Democrats and Republicans in government at all levels to put the people before the politics.
I believe in America. I believe in the people of America.
(APPLAUSE)
And I ran for office because I’m concerned about America. This election is over, but our principles endure. I believe that the principles upon which this nation was founded are the only sure guide to a resurgent economy and to renewed greatness.
Like so many of you, Paul and I have left everything on the field. We have given our all to this campaign.
(APPLAUSE)
I so wish — I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader. And so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation.
Thank you, and God bless America. You guys are the best. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks, guys.
(APPLAUSE)

Just wondering if any Nigerian politicians do/could have such mentality.

metodman: The diference between America's peaceful elections and Nigeria's elections is we the masses... A lot of gullible people are ready to kill over a bag of rice or a thousand. There is poverty in America as well but people are not easily manipulated or used for violence. To Americans it is all about your policies. Democratic partys's ideologies and principles against Republicans.

Its only in Nigeria you will see hoodlums killing for someone who they have never met and will never meet. It is only in Nigeria where you see contestants not present at the debates cos 'they too busy'. It is only in Nigeria where you can contest under Acn in 2011, Pdp in 2015 and LP in 2019

Yes in America, a lot of people still vote based on sentiments but their sentiments are based on party ideologies.

Funny enough these stupid acts happen all over Africa and that says a lot about level of intelligence, mentality and backwardness

I might be wrong

1000% correct, see as Nigerians who haven't even stepped out of this country are already crying foul while the contestant had already accepted defeat.

This might sound stupid but I believe if Tribalism could first be stopped on Nairaland while people change their views and mentality and facing our common enemies then Nigeria would be better.

It is so funny how we have allowed our leaders to cause division amongst us so they can always have their ways to the Treasury. Go to the Senate and Rep, Tribalism has never and will never stop them from looting. They speak the same language which is coRrruption. Come to think of it, how many of the Igbo leaders in the Senate, Rep or in position are seeking for supporting Biafra? At least if they are doing that there wouldn't be need for someone from Uk/Usa to come advocate for Biafra in Naija but when these leaders are out of power, they change tone. How many of them kill or kidnap rivals themselves. Never heard of it!

Please let's stop the fight and hold our leaders to their promises. Until when we do that, the corrupt leaders will keep looting while you the masses (u and I) will keep fighting and killing eachother

Lemme get your point really,are you suggesting that Gov Rom is more Intelligent than Barack O-bomber?
Wrong...Barack just happens to have it all ....your "swag" , intellect, Visionary leadership..etc. Will be nice for you to google both men up and do some close studies unless you're talking about Nigerian Presidency....especially in the past 20yrs
Re: Romney’s Concession Speech: Video & Transcript by dgreatsammie: 10:25am On Nov 08, 2012
Who says Obama isnt Intelligent? How many of your aspirants in Nigeria has plans of what to do, let alone having strategies of executions? Obama has plans. Obama has strategies, Obama has strategic people around his cabinet. What else do you need to prove your intelligence?

The only person in Nigeria so far in the Government is Fashola. He has plans, vision, strategies and strategic people around him. To achieve the best sometimes, you have to step on toes. I knew it, the very first time i listened to his debate. You can't give what you are not in possession of, or have.
