Mitt Romney Booed At NAACP Convention For Saying He'd Repeal Obamacare

[cratehorus]

Mitt Romney was booed Wednesday at the NAACP conference for promising to repeal the president's signature health care reform law, bringing him to an awkward halt in the middle of an otherwise civilly-received pitch for black voters.

It was an awkward moment that forced him to go off script, after giving a somewhat pained smile as the booing continued.

"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 --" Romney said before being interrupted for about 15 seconds.

"You know, there was a survey of the Chamber of Commerce -- they carried out a survey of their members, about 1,500 surveyed, and uh, they asked them what effect Obamacare would have on their plans, and three-quarters of them said it made them less likely to hire people," he said when the booing stopped. "So I say, again, that if our priority is jobs, and that's my priority, that's something I'd change and replace."

"Our priority is jobs"

Oh, the bitter irony.

Actually, the Republicans (well mainly their interests who back and fund them) have been the ones getting the jobs. All the credit Obama was taking were jobs being added that help the 1% further screw America.

The GOP priority are jobs that only help the 1%.
