Romney Booed at NAACP... Surprised?

Well, you have to give Mitt Romney credit for going into the lion's den, knowing he was going to have a hard time trying to win the crowd over, and sticking to his message.

That being said, you and your campaign make a huge mistake speaking in front of the NAACP and telling them you know what they need better than your opponent... who just happens to be black.

“If you want a president who will make things better in the African American community, you are looking at him. You take a look!”

Oh, and we know you're dead set on repealing Obamacare (some would call it Romneycare for All). You don't have to mention it in front of a group of people for whom it would most help. My guess is it won't be well received. Video, please:




Dude... SERIOUSLY?

It's All About Jobs...

...right, Republicans? So tell me, what's the first thing on your agenda when you take over the House on Wednesday, January 5th?*

Republican leaders in the new House say they'll hold a vote next week to repeal President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

WHAAAA?!?! But you've spent the last year and a half criticizing the White House for prioritizing the concept of affordable health care for all and that what they really needed to do was focus on the economy and jobs.

The announcement of the Jan. 12 vote by the No. 2 House Republican, Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, sets the stage for a showdown with the Democratic-led Senate.

Excellent! Let's reinstate the power of insurance companies to deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions, dropping you when you get sick after years of paying premiums and opening up that Medicare donut hole again. That'll be a real winner with constituents.

Of course, it's just all for show because it'll never pass the Senate. Welcome to the first week of the 112th Congress. Out with the old, in with... ah, nevermind.

Repeal Schmepeal

Rachel Maddow puts in great perspective the prospects of any politician running on or voicing support for the repeal of the 14th Amendment. Hint: It ain't gonna happen.
