We watched with some interest Mitt Romney's appearance before the NAACP this morning in Houston. Romney spoke in some broad strokes and received some polite applause from the heavily leaning democratic audience until he used one of his standard lines that features that he would, upon being elected president, repeal Obamacare. The fact that he used the term "Obamacare" before this audience was, we think, designed to get the response that he got--over ten seconds of sustained booing. The correspondent for CNN that was covering the event noted that this speech was being broadcast live to many people in many places, including moderates and swing voters. Romney closed sweetly by stating that he would be the president of all the people right after he chastised President Obama for not attending or speaking at the conference, sending Vice Presedent Biden to speak there tomorrow.
The Republicans speak often about how Obama is dividing the nation to avoid talking about his record in order to win the election. From what we saw today, we know who is dividing the electorate, and it isn't Barack Obama. And this speech further solidifies our deeply held belief that Mitt Romney is one of the most overbesring, arrogant assholes that we have ever seen. To speak plainly!!!!!
IOVHO,
Regards,
Joe
