So, let’s suggest to Romney that he speak at CORE as well...if we have ideas, we should shoot them over to Romney’s camp...check his website for link and phone #.

what was the reaction from the audience??? glad to see someone at least attempt to tell the truth....
They booed him for his stance on ObamaCare.
Black people still love them chains.

I am referring to about all but 10 or 12 % of TBP-(Total Black Population)
Sorry, but that estimate is waaaaaay off.
Should read "I am referring to about all but 5 or 6 % of TBP-(Total Black Population)"

I a serious Mittster Skeptic, but he did himself, the Black Community and the Country a favor today by laying the blame for worsening conditions among blacks at 0bama’s feet.
That’s true. It’s an inconvenient and uncomfortable fact that the black attendees know full well.
Points for Mittster on facing the maw of the beast and telling the truth.
Now, if only he would disavow his monstrous Romney0bamaCare, I could support him with a few reservations. Until then, his own record refutes his words and promises.

That's not nice, GTV, I signed up on this site the weekend Drudge broke the Miss Lewinski scandal.
I will "probably" vote for Romney and it would be the first time I've voted for a democrat since I was 18 and voted for Carter (cuz all the chicks were doing it and the only republicans I knew were my parents) Yeah, I look at Romney as a moderate democrat - he's certainly not a conservative - he can't even say the word. The GOP-e ruined this election.

They booed.
The NAACP is a relic trying to fight against its own inertia and obsolescence, quite similar to the plight of the labor unions.

Yes they have. I wanted Sarah to run and was hoping Cain would win. I ultimately voted for Ron Paul in the NYS primary since he was one of the few left by the time it came to my state.
But for me, this election is solely about ousting obama. I have no illusions whatsoever about romney and am prepared to have to fight him tooth and nail on many things.
He has to go.
There has never been such a malignant force for communism in the WH like we have with obama.

This is what Romney needs to do...effectively communicate his ideas. The democrat -media complex will try to distract his campaign and the voters with lies and phony scandal mongering. Unfortunately, he will have to be prepared to commit precious resources to respond that too.

Didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m actually proud of Romney for going and taking a stand. Even a minimal stand.

And I think Mitt hit on the reason today - education. Blacks have been so manipulated by the democrats that they, in large part, just accept the lousy education provided by government schools staffed by union members. But many blacks are waking up and demanding educational choice. So, after a long and circuitrous tour of the Dem Plantation, Blacks are finally getting back to 1967, when Education, (not 'cultural studies', but a genuine education) was seen as the key to improving one's lot in life, and focused upon as the tool which was most essential to success.
What a long, strange trip it's been.
Unfortunately, along the way, a large part of a couple of generations has been pandered to, buttered up and bamboozled into thinking they either do not need that education or that they have it, when in fact, their entire fields of study primarily exist to produce and add academic credibility (well, certification) to Marxist nonsense.
The 'Great Society' and the War on Poverty have been going on since LBJ, and if anything, things are worse.

"At ease... Smoke 'em if you got 'em.... Romney showed he had a big pair of stones by going in front of that hostile crowd and defending a position which is 180 out of what his audience believes. I believe he deserves our support. Yeah, I know what some of you will say: "He's WORSE than 0bama. Just look at his record". Well, he's saying and doing all the right things NOW, and THAT'S what's important. It blows my mind that some of you are willing to sit home or throw your vote away on someone who doesn't have a prayer, effectively giving 0bama a 1/2 vote... People, I have a prayer of my own , and that is, come election day you'll do the right thing and pull the lever for Romney...Carry on.
To: hcmama
Just my opinion but dang that took guts. Is he going to speak in front of La Raza next? Better check the "plastic-ware" first.
Romney gets three thumbs up for that one.

Romney did talk about
* 70% poverty associated the single parent vs 98% success of those who waited till after 21 to start a family
*loss of the family structure
*poor schools
*roadblocks by teacher unions
* problems attracting free enterprise into black neighborhood
(I thought he had a good line (paraphrasing) “Nobody every complained that we have too much free enterprise, too many businesses, too many jobs in a neighborhood,”
*bad effects of government spending
*job growth barrier caused by ‘ombacare’
* failure of Obama’s job performance to match his words
*failure of Obama to campaign on issues
All in all a good performance.
An appeal to people of good will to look for the good of the country over politics and color.
Would I trust Romney to act as he has been speaking these past few months? NO. Do I trust any politician. Mostly no.
I do trust my own good eye though. That eye tells me that Obama will continue to do more and more bad things for us.
To: Sub-Driver
“Obama made it worse for you ‘in almost every way’ so now you can apply for even MORE entitlements, YEAH!!!!!” is what the audience would’ve preferred I guess.
To: Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America
MORE entitlements DING DING DING!!! We have a WINNER! This applies especially to minorities in the NORTH (the South not so much)

There was moderate applause on a number of points he made. Then a lot of boos when he stated he would end Obama Care. But then silence after he stated what he would work with Congress to put in it's place. If your interested in listening to the 45 minute speech,
it can be found at CSPAN.com

I’m not surprised you haven’t gotten a response from atc23. His premise is absurd. The talk was excellent and your summary is spot on. Romney actually sounded Reaganesque.
When you’re speaking to a bunch of race mongers you’re on enemy territory. He walked the minefield by telling the truth and sticking to the facts. If Romney brings the fight hard to black voters he may turn enough back into Republicans. That would be great.
