Romney Says Obama Won With Gifts, Jindal Disagrees

Mitt Romney said President Obama won reelection by offering what he calls "gifts" to minorities and young voters.

The former Republican presidential candidate made the comment Wednesday while on the phone with top donors.

Romney said the president's campaign focused on things like free contraceptives to woo young women and amnesty for children of illegal immigrants to push Hispanics to the polls.

One of Romney's biggest supporters, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal doesn't agree.

He fiercely shot back while at a G-O-P conference in Las Vegas, sayind, "I think that's absolutely wrong. I don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party."

Jindal added in order for the G-O-P to be "competitive," it has to quote "go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote."

Jindal's criticism seemed to take a swipe at Romney's "47%" comments earlier this year, when he was taped saying nearly half of Americans were "victims" who were "dependent" on the government.
