HOUSTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney drew jeers from black voters Wednesday as he criticized President Barack Obama and pledged to repeal the Democrats' health care overhaul.
Romney told the annual meeting of the NAACP that backing him over the Democratic incumbent, who won their overwhelming support in 2008, is in the best interest of their families. He acknowledged his Republican Party doesn't have a perfect record on race relations, but pledged during a sometimes rocky speech that, if elected, he would work with black leaders to put the country back to work."I am going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program that I can find — and that includes Obamacare," Romney said, drawing his first boos of the day.Romney stood motionless with a reserved expression for 15 seconds before noting a survey from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as support for his position. His rebuttal was greeted with silence.
Romney evidently has no one in his camp or his party including those BINO's to pull his coat to" this is not that kinda get together" you don't go to them then rag on their pick in 2008 and most likely 2012. how more out of touch can he get?
"I know the president has said he will do those things. But he has not. He cannot. He will not. And his last four years in the White House prove it definitively," Romney said as the crowd's murmurs turned to louder groans.
he forgot to tell them "because of continual right wing blocking with glee all that would have gotten had they not. typical right wing misinformation.
my take, he tried probably against advise to prove he could do it and came off to me as phony as always. no matter whether he extends a hand to Black People it's more redundant fantasy by him the right wing will not support those claims by him to reach out. while he is saying that the right wing is trying it's best to disinfrancise every Black vote they can, who's zoomin' who?
