Romney to NAACP: "If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him"
Heckler: "For real?!"
Romney: "You take a look!"

It takes some stones to stand in front of a hostile crowd and tell them a bunch of things they don't want to hear.

Drew mentioned the ObamaTax part of the speech earlier, and the subsequent boos. And subsequent doubling down by Romney.

I like this line, too.

Unflinching before a skeptical NAACP crowd, Mitt Romney declared Wednesday he'd do more for African-Americans than Barack Obama, the nation's first black president. He drew jeers when he lambasted the Democrat's policies.
"If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him," Romney told the group's annual convention. Pausing as some in the crowd heckled, he added, "You take a look!"
"For real?" yelled someone in the crowd.

Over at National Journal, a glowing review, which the media doesn't generally share, naturally.

With the critical eyes of the political world resting squarely upon him, Romney marched defiantly into the lion's den and delivered a speech that was direct, assertive and dispassionate. Undaunted, the man seeking to unseat the nation's first African-American president stood calmly before a group of his most fervent supporters and informed them that he, not Obama, is the one they've been waiting for.
...
[R]omney promised to repeal the president's health care law -- casually referring to it as "Obamacare." The audience didn't like that, and they let Romney hear their displeasure, raining down boos on the Republican nominee. Romney appeared taken aback by the crowd's response, and for a few fleeting moments, it looked as if the Romney campaign's fear of an embarrassing episode would be realized.
Then something happened. Romney, often mocked for his robotic style and lack of nimbleness, stepped away from his script and succinctly explained his opposition to the Affordable Care Act: Business owners say it makes them less likely to hire new employees, he said. Romney then sought to reassure the skeptical crowd of his commitment to health care policies that protect society's most vulnerable and and provide effective care to those who need it.
The incident served as a microcosm of the broader occasion, one that revealed a different side of Romney. He easily could have played it safe in Houston, sticking to civil-rights issues and issuing abstract rebukes of Obama's economic and education policies. But he didn't. Instead, he went all-out, forcefully denouncing Obama's job performance and criticizing a law he knew had support among the Obama-friendly audience....

The writer notes that his stump speeches often appear listless and rote, but he spoke forcefully and animatedly here.

He spoke with aggravated empathy about the African-American unemployment rate reaching 14 percent. He hammered the issue of job creation, arguing that Obama's economic policies have disproportionately harmed minorities. And he expertly used education reform as a wedge between the president and his supporters in the audience, earning sustained applause when arguing that "candidates cannot have it both ways" -- i.e., Obama must choose between advancing education reforms and protecting teachers' unions.
It was a fine performance, one that delivered a distinct message to observers of all political stripes. Democrats saw a candidate who embraced adversity and wasn't afraid to mix it up. Republicans saw a candidate who was quick on his feet and took a punch without falling down. And independents saw a candidate who isn't the "extremist" or "panderer" his opponents portray him to be.

Hacks for the NAACP are slamming his appearance -- some claiming he "patronized" them, others angry he refused to patronize them -- and deeming it just a big darned strategic error to even show up.

Which makes me think that it wasn't an error at all, but a hit plus a stolen base for good measure.

No matter what your politics, no one has much bad to say about straight-shooting or showing some stones.

Back in 2000, I think, George W. Bush made a play for black votes, and an analyst said, "The play was superficially for black votes, but in reality it was for independent but liberal-ish white votes." The sort of people for whom the never-ending shriek of "racist!" still has meaning. By reaching out to blacks, this line of reasoning went, Bush was actually reaching out to non-black voters who were persuadable, but would not vote for anyone the media successfully depicted as a racist.

And that's not to say Romney won't get black votes, either. In 2004, 18 percent of black voters were at least entertaining the idea of voting for Bush, and a percentage there and a percentage there and suddenly you're talking about an election.

One good thing: I've been worried about Romney's tendency to get lock-jawed with a ghastly fake grin when he feels sharply criticized. He seems to have avoided that response. Oh, he still had some faint sort of smile through much of the booing, but it was more like the Competitive Smile you see jocks get when they know they're up against it. Like, Okay, let's deal with this.

26 The entitlement crowd wants to know what the government will give them. They don't want to hear how the government will create more opportunities. Opportunities mean you have to actually get off your ass and take advantage of them. Blacks don't want any of that. They just want to sit on their ass and have government provide everything. That is why that think Romney is crazy saying he is the best candidate for blacks. To them, the best candidate is one who just gives them handouts while they sit on their couch.

I had a left winger griping to me about someone we work with playing the race card the other day. I wanted to say, "Well, this is what you vote for," but instead I just said, "Mmmm-hmmm. It's a real shame some people are able to get away with that."

The entitlement crowd wants to know what the government will give them.
They don't want to hear how the government will create more
opportunities. Opportunities mean you have to actually get off your ass
and take advantage of them. Blacks don't want any of that. They just
want to sit on their ass and have government provide everything. That is
why that think Romney is crazy saying he is the best candidate for
blacks. To them, the best candidate is one who just gives them handouts
while they sit on their couch.

93 If the Democrats share of the black vote ever fell to 80%, they wouldn't win anything, anywhere.

This. There are many many finely calibrated gerrymandered districts based on that reliable 90+% vote.

The down ticket carnage would be grand.

I suspect that the difference between the amount you can count on the black vote (90pct) and the "Registered Democrat" vote (in the 80s) is entirely due to vote fraud by the Dems in those districts.

Like somebody mentioned upthread, I'm really starting to get the feeling that Romney knows the nation is in deep sh!t financially and is trying to explain to people that they have to change their expectations of what they want from the federal government.

Just remember, if he does get elected and he does turn the economy around (at least in the right direction) within 4 years, the left will take credit for it.

113 I kinda think that crazy turd Sharpton was right. Romney meant to call it Obamacare because he knew it would get booed. And nothing would solidify Romney's bona fides regarding his opposition to Obamacare more than to get booed on saying he'd repeal it in front of the JEF's most loyal supporters and--in the face of the boos--to double down.

It was a lose-lose-lose preposition for them: Boo, and Romney looks good to everyone that hates it; do nothing and the left would attack them for it; cheer, and they'd get death threats within the hour.

Too bad the blacks fell for it.

133 I watched the whole speech. For playing to a hostile crowd, I thought he did a fantastic job. Focusing on education and tying federal education dollars to the student not the school is a great idea. I work for a charter school with a majority of black students; most of their families have them there because its better than the alternatives.

With the education issue, Mitt might be able to move a small but significant percentage of the black vote into his column.

168 Romney dealt w/ a lot of semi-hostile audiences during the R debates (since conservatives knew he had the record of a liberal Republican).

He handled them pretty well against opponents the audiences would have liked to have liked better than him (e.g., Perry, Newt, Santorum).

Meanwhile Obama hasn't debated in a long while. And it's not like he's going to speak before the NRA or some similar organization either.

History has proven many voters look at the debates to determine their candidate (even if high-information voters think this is ridiculous).

I see no logical reason to think Romney won't have an advantage in the debates...and that it might not prove at least somewhat decisive.

169 34 Patronizing, not patronizing enough. How can you possibly break through that kind of thinking? Good luck, Mitt.

Ummmm, the upper midwest is lousy with Lutherans. Are you talking about moving Kierkegaard to Iowa by time machine? What ARE you talking about?

172 I don't want to say I Told You So, but:

I Told You So. Mitt got elected Governor of the People's Republic of Massachusetts. He's been through the meat grinder.

During the Republican primary runup, the two big complaints were "Romney's using unfair underhanded tactics to sabotage his rivals!" and "Romney can't handle Obama!" I never understood how someone who believed the first could say the second with a straight face.

I've figured out who Romney is. He's Vespasian. An old-school Roman coming in to kick ass after Nero's crazy times. Rally to the Eagles, morons!

Umm, if you mean the race profiteers at the top of the NAACP, then yes. They have no interest in actually improving the lives of the people they claim to stand for -- they are only interested in increasing their own riches and power.
If you are attempting to characterize black people in general, well, then, I say to you what I said to "soze" above:"I take it you don't know any actual black people. Especially not any in
any branch of the U.S. military. I dare you to tell a black soldier or
Marine or sailor or airman to his face that he 'just wants to sit on
[his] ass...' Go on. Do it."By your nic you may be an ex-sailor -- if so, thank you for your service, but I think your premise is dead wrong.

175 Read the text earlier, and watched the video just now. The chattering class is saying this guy won't be aggressive enough? Not worried about that. He looked like a guy that will win today to me.

176 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

177 The crowd took offense to him calling it Obamacare? Really? *Really?* You know, waaaaahhhhmbulances don't discriminate against black people. And I'll add to that, and say no, I don't think all black people are mindless Democrat peons blah blah blah tolerance and bunnies blah blah. But I think this is a severe cultural problem and one of the most widescale mass delusions in history for many blacks to seriously believe the Democrats are their friends and the Republicans are just a bunch of racist bastards.

178 Romney could use Obama to wipe the decks in a fair debate. But...do you really think the MSM is going to set up a fair debate?

181 #172: You don't know how those two concepts are compatible?

Two words for you: John Frickin' McCain.

Okay, that's three words... but my point stands nonetheless.

A few ofyou here are dumber than dirt. Get off the cracks about SAT scores and nonsense. A person with a genius levelIQ can be a theif, reprobate and a racist. He just happens to be areally intelligent ahole! Certain coments won't help the cause, which is waking black people up to the fact they are being used by white liberals to flog the opposition.
You see black people's phobias are affirmed by the white guilt ridden liberals who tell them those other whites are out to get them. They are being used and pointed your way by other white people, you know, the party that started the KKK! The same people who engineered welfare that helped destroy the black family. The same people who invented affirmative action. The same people on television everyday telling you if you oppose Obama you are a racist! Black people only make up 12% of the population, they didn't elect Obama, whites did!
I have to hand it to Romney, he was fantastic! He isn't lying down and letting the Obama team walk all over them like John Juan McCain did. The Obama team seems to have a problem when the guy in the ring is punching back. Mitt has shown he has a pair and I hope his VP will get out there and kick some ass too!

We better all pull as hard as we can for a Romney win. Even with a Romney win and a Republican House and Senate, we've got a hellaciously difficult job ahead of us cleaning up the disaster JEF has left for us. Plus, you can bet your life that his minions will not make it easy to fix anything they've screwed up.
If Mitt doesn't win, we're doomed.
