In the interest of keeping things even-handed, will Obama appear before the Ku Klux Klan?

“Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cleaver said Romney should not have criticized President Obama in front of a black audience...”

So Obama should not criticize Romney in front of a white audience?

Despite this effort I would expect 96% of the blacks who turn out to vote for Obama in November. In about 50 years, when back leaders look back on this behavior, this lock-step allegiance to the Democratic Party, they will realize what a foolish thing it was. If they only voted even 55-45, they would get much more meaningful response from their government. The Hispanic voting block will have completely eaten their lunch by that time. Save a chapter in “Greatest Ongoing Political Blunders in History” for this blind commitment.

...those who graduate from high school, get a full-time job, and wait until 21 before they marry and then have their first child, the probability of being poor is two percent. And if those factors are absent, the probability of being poor is 76 percent...

I love the statement. It reaches the audience; and, it's the polar opposite from what they hear from Mister Obama, "black leaders", and the Dems.

And, it's an easy connection of dots to realize that (sadly) the Dems seem to want to keep black folks on a "poverty plantation".

Mittens did well today. I give him a ton of credit for going into the vipers’ den and telling them the truth without pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I watched his speech and it was not pandering at all.

It was sober, mature, serious, and well delivered.

Why would he need to campaign to a Democrat institution?

They’ll either hold their noses and vote for him because he’s the Democrat, or refuse to because he’s a n

“...Why is Romney pandering to the...”

Because they vote.

And every vote we can take away from the commie assh*les is one less vote they get.

Pretty much sums it up.

Romney’s move showed strength today and exposed some of those clowns for thwat they are, but he also exposed the communist left for being the race baiters they are w their fake suck up accents like obama, biden, hillary, and the rest of thugs use.

The only thing I have taken away from Romney going to the NAACP is that the only person that came off as an adult was Romney.

I have NEVER been a big Romney fan and at first I thought that what he was doing by speaking in front of these people was a mistake. I was wrong about that. Romney pulled no punches and on top of that he was able to make some of these people show their true colors. Yea, pun intended.

At the end of the day the president is the president of everyone. Obama or whatever that fakes real name is does not care about that. The only thing I can see that he cares about is destroying this country. At least Romney is not out to trash America.

Romney’s stock went up a lot today in my book! My view is that he outsmarted the racists.

Believe every Republican Presidential candidate from the past also spoke at the NAACP.
