Owner59 -> NAACP Boos Mitt Romney (7/11/2012 12:03:56 PM)

"Mitt Romney spoke to the NAACP conference on Wednesday in an attempt to convince African-American voters to vote Republican in November. Unfortunately for Romney, the majority of African-Americans support President Obama.
After Mitt ‘The Flipper’ declared his intention to cut any and every program he deems “non-essential,” which in Romney-speak means every program that helps the middle class and the poor, Romney yet again promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The NAACP audience wasn’t thrilled by Romney’s plan to kill President Obama’s signature achievement and roundly booed Mitt for 15 seconds. Mitt forced a smile and then claimed that Obamacare kills jobs.
ROMNEY: “I’m going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program I can find, that includes Obamacare, and I’m going to work to reform and save…”

"The fact is, the US Chamber and Mitt Romney represent corporate interests. They have zero interest in the small business community, which is where the majority of jobs are created. According to Romney, businesses supposedly don’t support Obamacare because it will cause them to not hire workers. But that’s not true. The majority of small businesses actually support the new health care law. A new study recently revealed that over 50% of small businesses support the Affordable Care Act and that percentage rises for individual provisions in the bill. Only one-third of small businesses oppose the law.
Contrary to what the US Chamber and Mitt Romney claim, Obamacare actually benefits small businesses because of various exemptions and tax credits that will save small businesses money in the long run, especially after the law is fully implemented in 2014. Such money could be used to pay higher wages or expanding which means hiring more people. And that’s a great thing for the American economy, but it’s a bad thing if you are Mitt Romney or a conservative corporation supporting organization like the US Chamber that opposes President Obama no matter what.
Mitt Romney’s obsession with repealing Obamacare is strengthening the perception that he is a hypocrite. Keep in mind that Obamacare is modeled directly on Romneycare, the health care law Mitt Romney instituted in Massachusetts as Governor."
