1. I laughed so hard when they booed him.

[bigdarryl]

7. Noticed how some in the media are trying to spin this

There saying well at lease he told them what they didn't want to hear and he's sticking to his guns on repeal of Obama care. OH PLEASE!!!! nice try

[AC_Mem]

55. I was listening

and getting ready for work - and I was booing him from the bathroom (lol) - when I heard him say he would repeal Obamacare and heard the boos - I ran to the tv yelling "about time!!!"

Actually, I thought the audience was extremely polite and respectful, considering the load of refuse that he was shoveling at them.

ObamaCares

Shine on,
Annette

[GarroHorus]

2. The only applause he got were from the people his campaign bussed in n/t

[mercymechap]

39. I think you are right.

I don't think his rating is going to go over 14% among blacks. I still can't believe there are that many that would vote for him.

[heaven05]

88. i can

I know of a black fraternal lodge who's leadership is encouraging members to vote republican. talk about voting against your best interest

[angstlessk]

54. Just what I thought...Who were those same 50 people clapping...from the same area?

I figured it had to be his entourage?

[Tx4obama]

61. Romney FLEW them in

See here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/125154263

[csziggy]

87. Of course - the GOP is against bussing!

[pacalo]

72. Someone from the NAACP was on MSNBC tonight & he did say something to that effect.

Romney steps in one cowpie after another when he's let loose in public.

[LiberalFighter]

84. Didn't see any of their faces. Huh!!

Probably didn't want anyone to know.

[joycejnr]

3. Wow, the enthusiasm...

...the excitement! No wonder the Big Tent Party nominated Mr. Mittens.

[jberryhill]

4. The two women in the last one are fabulous

Omg... I can't stop laughing.

[nc4bo]

8. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at these three.

There is no facial expression like those from the wisest generation and her's had me to the point of tears.

Between the young fellow on the left and the wise woman......lawd.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. The guy in the middle isn't having any of it, either.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

42. That one got me too.

People like her are makes America great.

[GeorgeGist]

49. The guy in row 2 ...

seems interested.

[Sheepshank]

81. The woman in row 2 ......

...is looking in the opposite direction from everyone else and appears to be taking a picture of a wall. Apparently the Wall is more interesting than Romney lol

[mahina]

69. Nobody wanted to lose a shoe?

I kid.

[Junkdrawer]

10. Who will be the first to post that asking for captions?

Read, Set, GO.....

[aquart]

15. My caption is postural, not political:

"Protecting my nuts." "Airing my balls." "Saved myself for WHAT?"

[Junkdrawer]

77. struggle4progress's winner from yesterday's thread

[Patiod]

79. Duzy Worthy

Too funny!

[Rob H.]

80. Ha!

Those captions are 100% pure WIN.

[monmouth]

24. They are both so cute and thinking "I could be doing my laundry."...LOL...n/t

[Flatulo]

31. I know - their faces say "You just took a shit WHERE?"

[azureblue]

47. Ive seen this look

"this man is a fool, if he thinks he can pull that mess on me".

[KurtNYC]

60. I like the first one -- the people on the sides look like they are praying

as if whatever Mitt said made them just go "please dear lord God do not let this man near the Whitehouse."

[treestar]

68. +1

They are actually listening, and seem to be thinking: I am looking at and listening to the dumbass of the millennium!

[DevonRex]

5. Those last 2 women!!! OMG.

Priceless.

[leftyohiolib]

9. they belong in a commercial

[DevonRex]

16. The lifted eyebrows on the left and pursed lips

on the right. I have never seen such expressive faces. You're right, they should be in a commercial!

"ordinary people reacting to rMoney speech"

[HappyMe]

13. Yeah, and the

elderly lady in the picture just above that one! She appears to be flat out laughing.

[DevonRex]

18. She cracked me right up! As did the one in the

background in the top picture between sleeping guy and hand-on-chin guy. I feel disapproval just emanating from her all the way from here.

[HappyMe]

20. !!

Like those heat wavey doodads above hot pavement.

[ProSense]

17. Lip reading

the second woman: WTF?

Look at the pursed lips.

[DevonRex]

19. Exactly what I was thinking!

But stopped at the W in polite company.

[kpete]

30. yep

[WinstonSmith4740]

32. Body language says so much...

Obviously something else Mitt doesn't understand!

"Maybe he thinks he's addressing the help". Priceless!! Wait'll he finds out he can't fire these good folks!

[mercymechap]

40. Ha,ha, that's too funny.

I don't think Romney had a clue!

[BeliQueen]

43. I couldn't have captioned these better.

You just have to hear the way he spoke to them to recognize their faces are a mixture of polite disgust and amazement.

[appleannie1]

6. Oh to be so loved and admired. LMAO

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. The expressions and the body language tell the whole story.

Over every one of those people you can imagine a thought balloon saying "I don't f'in think so."

[YankeyMCC]

12. Lol

I smell a "caption these pictures" challenge

[ProSense]

NAACP Reacts To Mitt Romney: ‘Patronizing,’ ‘Totally Disconnected,’ ‘A Serious Misjudgment’

[DevonRex]

22. The NAACP statement was perfect. Nt

[Flatulo]

53. Very very gracious, If you ask me. Much more civil tha he deserved. nt

[malaise]

23. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahaahahaha

Tell the Rmoney camp to include this in the ad.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

25. Black voters are no different than other voters who see Mitt Romney for what he is...

an elitist, phony, arrogant lying sack of shit!


Him and his entitled, phone wife!

[lumpy]

26. I guess Romney enjoys getting kicked in the nards.

n

[ailsagirl]

27. Glad to hear they booed him!

The various expressions are priceless!

[MADem]

28. You could caption any one of those "You gotta be shittin' me..." nt

[Rex]

29. Not impressed.

The looks, imo, range from 'bored into sleep' to 'not impressed' to 'glassy eyed indifference'.

[maryellen99]

33. and don't forget the ones who are looking at their phones LOL nt

[Rex]

36. Hey it is either listen to RMoney or play Angry Birds

on your iPhone...which one do you think you would choose?

[maryellen99]

38. Angry birds or Slotomania nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

34. love the last pic. The lady in white - "I'm smiling at you to be polite"

[Ganja Ninja]

35. Gosh the teabaggers reacted so well to the same speech.

[Initech]

37. This speech today I believe is what we on the internets refer to as an "epic fail".

It'll be fun to watch Fox News talking heads explode tonight!

[progressivebydesign]

41. In one article I just read they actually said that Romney "adjusted his language" (offensive btw)

From the story: <<"Indeed, Romney at times found himself adjusting his prepared remarks - with its typically business-oriented language - for his audience and sounded like an like an instructor explaining policy. Once he noted the slow growth of the GDP, the Gross Domestic Product, only to quickly adjust by adding "the economy." >>>

"adjusted his language??" WTF?? This is a convention of accomplished and intelligent people, they fucking KNOW what the GDP is?? What the article smoothed over is that he was TALKING DOWN to them, as if they didn't understand wtf it was. Romney is so out of touch... The people I see in the photos here look like intelligent, and thoughtful people who don't need someone to "change their business language" so they'll understand. "GDP" is not a business term... it's an economic term.

Surprised the dipshit and his useless crew didn't bring a rapper to interpret.

[Voice for Peace]

45. I'm looking forward to hearing the pov of people who were there

oops edit.. I see there's a lot already here in this here thread.

[JNelson6563]

75. Perhaps he hadn't heard

but they use silverware and stuff in Harlem. Bill-O verified this some time back. He might have been more comfortable if he'd known this.

Julie

[Rob H.]

82. Sounds like something Dubya used to do

He'd say something and then say, "Now, what that means is...." It was infuriating. The dead-from-the-neck-up waste of skin thought that just because he had to have things explained to him in terms a five-year-old could understand meant that everyone had to have things explained to them that way.

[Voice for Peace]

44. uh-huh..

[ChazInAz]

46. Oh, god!

The two ladies in the last photo. The one on the left is wearing the expression that an old girl friend of mine used to display when I'd do or say something truly brainless. (I saw it a lot.) Then she would say, with exquisite politeness :"And the whitest man in the world is going to do... what?"
She was very good for any ego issues!

[azmom]

48. I tuned in

this morning. I knew he would totally blow it. Too bad he did not attend the La Raza one yesterday. I would have loved to hear what he had to say to us latinos.

[progressivebydesign]

59. I would pay to see Romney speaking to La Raza...

and when he tries to say something in Spanish, it would be an epic fail.

[Blue Owl]

50. More priceless than Mitt's filthy pile of off-shore money

K&R

[limpyhobbler]

51. ooh.. tough crowd

[polichick]

52. Why would they even turn out to see that asshole?!

[Brigid]

56. Even that kid in the second photo isn't buying it.

Tough crowd, indeed!

[Chorophyll]

57. Oh dear.

I almost feel bad for the guy.

Nah.

[lpbk2713]

58. One collective caption covers it all ...

"Is this asshole for real?"


You can see it on all their faces.

[madamesilverspurs]

62. Says the lady in the front row,

-

[Botany]

63. They are just angry that Mitt will not give them "free stuff."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002933607

[awoke_in_2003]

64. marking to read later (damn work firewall) nt

[barbtries]

65. yep.

this dude wants to be president?!

[mahina]

66. The whole audience looks totally whelmed.

Something about the tyranny of low expectations. Willard, you knocked in in the park- like the foul ball zone.

[Historic NY]

67. Holy crap he must have been surprised the NAACP, has colored people all kinds of colored people...

most DA's don't realize it.

[Warren DeMontague]

70. I'm not an expert on reading people, but I would venture to say the speech didn't go over so well?

Hmmm?

[mzmolly]

70. The people in the audience, came to graciously lisen to Rmoney's speech

and he used them like props.

Pathetic.

[Island Blue]

73. Romney accomplished exactly what he hoped to from yesterday's speech.

Gaining street cred with racist white people. He wasn't addressing the folks in that room.

[lunatica]

74. Oh please!

He's now a masterful politician?!

Sure! He'll surely win the White House solely on the racist vote! yeah, masterful.

[stlsaxman]

78. The grin on his face after boasting of repealing "ObamaCare" you could hear him think-

"Wow- Rove was exactly right- this'll make a GREAT campaign clip!"

[ObaMania]

76. Rmoney was just playing to his base by doing it. That's all.

I'm sure all conservatives that've seen it are cheering him on. Bet even FAUX News shows it every few minutes or so.

It's just funny to me that that would be the wasteful spending example he'd have. He could've come up with something else that he knew everyone would agree with. That's why I think it was intentional and that maybe his staff and handlers bet him he wouldn't say it.

At least he has a consistent message he sticks to and doesn't care who he presents it to. All the clips I saw were only up to the booing part. They didn't continue on to show how he justified his statement to the group.

Guess the African American vote isn't that critical to him winning anyway what with disenfranchisement, voter roll purges and all. The fix is in.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

83. Those are priceless

A whole auditorium full of people who all look like they're sucking on a lemon.

[seabeyond]

85. i like the last one. thanks. nt

[Beacool]

86. It's the NAACP conference, why would this be a surprise to anyone????

More than 90% of its members vote Democratic, no matter who the Republican candidate may be.

Did anybody think that they would vote for Romney over Obama?

At least Romney had the gumption to show up, Obama sent Biden.

[CakeGrrl]

89. Right on time!

Credit to Romney, dig on the President.

Like old times!

[Beacool]

90. Why should anything change?

Didn't like the guy in 2008 and like him even less now. Unfortunately, those are the two choices this November.

Depressing...........




Greetings to you!!
