House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a Bloomberg TV interview that getting booed at the NAACP Convention in Houston on Wednesday was “a calculated move” on the part of the GOP contender Mitt Romney.
A large portion of media coverage of the speech has focused on the crowd‘s negative reaction to Romney’s open opposition to “Obamacare” and pitch that “if you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him.”
It should be noted that Romney also received a standing ovation at the speech’s end. He also garnered applause when discussing the need to find solutions for improving employment in the African-American community and turning around the education system for the poor and those living in urban areas.
When asked on Bloomberg TV for her reaction to the boos, Rep. Pelosi readily responded while grinning, “Well, it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention.”
During a taped interview with Fox Business Network Wednesday Romney said he “expected” a negative reaction to his speech.

Posted on July 12, 2012 at 1:46pmI hope that Pelosi is correct. The anti-white hate needs to be brought front and center in the debate. In today’s world, greatest haters are the ones who call others racist… the left has been using race as a divider for decades. The left has always loved labels, and too many people are foolish enough to fear those labels.

Posted on July 12, 2012 at 2:20pmShe as well as every single black House member have nothing to worry about for now. When Romney is sworn in he needs to sign the legislation abolishing the VRA. There is a guy from OK, I think, that has already penned the bill. We need to move bodly and remove all forms of socialism from this country. We need to repeal obamacare, the 16th amendment, the CRA, Hart-Cellar, the Patriot act and a laundry list of others. Congress needs to pass legislation that limits the Supreme court terms and executive powers and put term limits on all Congressional members and federal judges. They need to roll back salaries for all federal employess including themselves. Until that happens we will get more of the same.

Posted on July 12, 2012 at 6:22pmIt really is not ‘fair’ that just because those in California are STUPID enough to vote this woman into the House that the REST of the nation gets punished because of their lack of selecting an honorable woman. If Californians don’t want their elected officials to read laws before they vote on them — that should be THEIR problem. Unfortunately, Pelosi shoved ObamaCare upon the nation declaring that ‘YOU will know what’s in it after you vote for it.”

That is a ridiculous, ignorant statement. In your first post, I thought that you might be trying to be sarcastic or something. Then you immediately doubled down.
The reason why Nancy Pelosi promptly came out with her ludicrous assertion is because she has realised that Mr Romney made a favourable impression with his audience with his sensible and compelling proposals – mainly in the areas of jobs and education.
She cannot offer any reasoned response, so she calls him deceitful.
The Obama campaign is about to set new lows for dishonesty and savagery.

Posted on July 12, 2012 at 11:21amHere’s why Romney got the standing ovation:
His father George Romney, a republican governor, marched with the civil rights protesters. “[...] And what motivated George? According to Mitt, it was his Mormonism: “My father was a man of faith who knew that every person was a child of God.”
Report Post »Romney stood up there and handed out his agenda like he was at a board meeting discussing profits and liabilities with the board. He didn’t need the baptist preacher cadence of Obama or a made up past (sorry..“compressed”) as Obama likes to utilize. Nor the southern platitudes of the Clintons. He stood up, sucked up the boo’s, stared at the face of the hostile crowd and gave it to them straight. He didnt’ coddle them, he didn’t pander to them, he treated them like intelligent adults and fellow Americans. Romney may have found his campaign persona..and it works. This is why Pelosi sees it as threat.

If Mitt did not speak before them then they would have something to say about that also. as for Pelosi she would jump up and say it was a republicans fault if a blade of grass was out of place in her own front yard. Seems they love to HATE.

Oh I forgot – not too many of them there or in their districts — probably too many Communists in the House like they are in the Senate, as West said. Isn’t that nice.
All of them need to be in insane asylums and/or be executed for treason, not upholding their oath to uphold the constitution, etc. but no…..alas – too many in leadership that are cowards, career politiicans, RINOS being threatened. I do hope enough of us are left that realize these things and have the courage, patriotism, selflessness necessary like our Founding Fathers to correct this humongous undertaking with the Divine intervention they had back then also – we need another miraculous win like the Revolutionary War was b/c that‘s exactly what it’ll take, no less..
