The Roanoke Slant

-
Roanoke Times, 7-12-12, Pg 3: Romney booed by NAACP “crowd” over “Obamacare”.
-
Actually the NAACP “crowd” was friendlier to Romney than I would have anticipated. Most of his points were met with mild-acceptance, cool-tolerance and even some acquiescence. Not bad considering this “crowd” votes over 90% for Black and or Democrat candidates without regard to economic, social or political issues. These are the same folks who strenuously comment that whites should be color-blind.  Perhaps some boos from them is a good thing.
-
Of interest is that Obama did not attend this function but instead sent his silver tongued VP Biden to rabble-rouse and race-bait the crowd in his usual and predictable manner.
Biden’s attack dutifully followed Obama’s AG Holder’s assertion that Republicans are using Voter ID as a throw-back to slavery and disenfranchising Black voters.

All this from a Chicago Street Organizer who proclaimed he would be a “uniter and not a divider”. So much for positive hope and change!

The Obama team is telling us that we shouldn’t like Mitt Romney and here are the Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney determined by Obama's speech (original author unknown – but verified by me)

1. Successful, self-made businessman. (Dad didn't give him a hand-out ... he and Ann had to make it on their own)

2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been FAITHFUL to her.

3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)

4. Can't speak in a fake southern black preacher voice when necessary.

5. Has pots of money (made it all himself) and since nobody else in this country has any desire to have pots of money ... we don't like him!!!

6. Has a family of great boys ... none of them are in drug rehab.

7. Doesn't smoke (even in secret), drink alcohol, or do drugs (not even in college, where other people were NOT inhaling)

8. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't mess around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS! (We can't relate to such an anachronism.)

9. Oh yes ... he's a MORMON. That horrible religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, honest, upright and MORAL!

This in stark contrast to Obama’s outstanding religious background:

10. And one more point ... pundits’ say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money ALL BY HIMSELF ... as opposed to marrying it (as in John Kerry) or inheriting it from Dad (as in Jack, Robert & Ted Kennedy.) We didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unreliable to Americans.
-
It’s certainly understandable from this list why Obama and his supporters can’t understand why over 50% of the American people like Romney.

"If you voted for Barack Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist,
You'll have to vote for Romney in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot."
