Mitt Romney BOOED at NAACP, Says Repeal Obamacare

;Mitt Romney addressed the NAACP at their 103rd National Convention in Houston Wednesday morning.

While acknowledging the historical significance of President Obama's election as the nation's first African-American president, Romney will attempt to distinguish himself in the speech as a viable alternative for black voters.

This is the second major campaign speech Romney has delivered to a minority group in the last month. In June, Romney spoke before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in Orlando.Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit NAACP tells Jennifer Granholm that Mitt Romney's policies and priorities don't match up with the NAACP's. Anthony says Romney's appearance at the NAACP conference creates an "illusion of inclusion," but that ultimately Romney's past actions speak louder than his visit to the conference stage. "Let's talk about the real stuff," Anthony says, advocating for a deeper conversation into Romney's politics and policy.During his Wednesday morning speech before the NAACP Convention in Houston, Texas, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney explained that his plans include reducing government spending by eliminating "every nonessential expensive program I can find, and that includes ObamaCare." Although several other Romney policy proposals were met with applause, the health-care remark was met with significant booing.
