Way to toe the dimmiecrat party line talking points there motor voter.

As for me, I’d rather have a guy who’s been successful in business than a brokeass community organizer who never had a real job in his life, let alone met a payroll.

When Mitt’s career comes under the microscope more voters will learn that he’s made his living – a fabulous living – buying companies, laying off workers, cutting the hours and pay of existing workers, and eliminating health care for workers. By getting rid of workers, cutting hours, and reducing benefits the stock prices of these companies he buys go through roof and stockholders and management “clean up”. But many of the laid off workers go on unemployment, food stamps, welfare, and so forth which increases the deficit and contributes to a widening gulf between the haves and have nots in the US. Mitt himself has been so successful at this he’s now worth hundred’s of millions of dollars, he has homes all over the place, yachts, private airplanes, and so forth. In fact, Mitt’s whole career is based on eliminating middle class jobs – he’s a middle class jobs terminator – so I think it unlikely he will be elected President when more voters learn about the curious way he makes money. Mitt’s a smiling Gordon Kecko, nobody’s job will “safe” if we allow this guy to become president.

The real news is not the content of the speech, but it’s location. Barrack Obama got over 90% of the black vote in 2008. With unemployment for blacks over 14% Barrack will suprisingly get over 90% again. Mitt’s team knows this and still accepted the invitation to speak. Mitt took an unpopular message into the heart of the lion’s den. To me this act displayed courage. Regardless of race and class, Mitt spoke the same rhetoric to the NAACP as he would to a Tea Party gathering. Mitt showed a Presidential quality of wanting to find a common thread that unites all Americans, a far cry to what we have in the White House today.

The TV and cable news people really distorted this with their sound bites.

Facts:

It was a pretty good speech, making his case as to why they should consider voting for him.

He was warmly greeted with a standing ovation when introduced.

He received polite applause numerous times throughout the speech.

The only booing was when he stupidly used the term “ObamaCare” when referring to the health care law and one other time when his remarks about Obama were more appropriate for a stump speech than for an NAACP event.

Willie Brown and other pundits have said he deliberately taunted the overwhelmingly pro-Obama NAACP crowd with the “Obamacare” term to feed red meat to the right wing base. After watching the whole speech, I don’t see it that way.
