LYNCHBURG, Va - Presidential candiate Mitt Romney proved that the primary has ended by citing President Obama's controversial former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  While delivering a graduation speech at Christiant Liberty University, Romney referred to some of Wright's more controversial sermons but in less demonstrative tones.  "Let's face it," Romney said.  "America has left some people behind.  America failed in providing liberty to all its citizens.  In some ways, we have a shameful past.  You know, sometimes I just want to shout, 'Darn it, America!  Darn it, America!"  Republican strategest Michael Earl pointed out that there could be more to come.  "We should expect to hear some reflective statements from Romney about America's place in the world and its responsbsiblities for the past," said Earl.  "He needs to get to the middle to win the general election."

"You know, sometimes I just want to shout, 'Darn it, America!  Darn it, America!'"

Romney's spouse, Ann Romney, did not respond to telephone calls or email requests for comment.  She is believed to be en route to suburban Detroit, Michigan where she will be delivering a speech to high school students.  Ms. Romney has expanded her role on her husbands campain in recent weeks.
