Wolf Blitzes Obama – Criticizes NAACP No-Show, Says Romney “Did The Right Thing”

Romney went to the NAACP convention in Houston yesterday, July 12th, and I’m sure you read about Mitt getting booed for vowing to repeal ObamaCare, but did you read ANYWHERE in the Liberal media that Romney got a Standing Ovation as he closed his speech? Here’s Wolfie!

This was Blitzer’s pull quote: “Here is something I’d like to say to President Obama: You should have attended the NAACP convention in Houston today. Mitt Romney did. It was the right thing to do. The Republican knows the nation’s oldest civil-rights group isn’t exactly friendly turf but went anyway…….
The president needs excitement, he needs enthusiasm in the African-American community, especially in the battleground states he carried in 2008. Fewer African-Americans may go to the polls this time. They might not vote for Romney, but might not show up, especially now that black unemployment has risen to 14.4%.


Cindy Thompson over at American Thinker notes the standing ovation in “A Man for All Races“, and reports on the boorish statements of Rep Emmanuel Cleaver, in sharp contrast with the statements of black conservative blogger, Kira Davis, who wrote:

Romney deserves respect for wading in where he knew he would not be wanted. Black liberals complain all the time that conservatives and Republicans don’t engage them enough in the political realm, and then when they do go directly into our communities to debate and conversate [sic] they’re treated like crap. Then liberals wonder all over again why those nasty, racist Republicans don’t have the stones to bring their message into our communities. Well, Mr. Cleaver – here’s a man with stones. He came to speak, not pander. I know you and your ilk at the Black Caucus and NAACP have made pandering an art, but you should at least have a little respect for a man who is willing to be honest about his views and not temper those views simply based on the color of the people he is addressing.

And Kira Davis blasting the pandering of NAACP leadership, especially Cleaver:
