Anyone see the "Mitt Romney NAACP speech audience reaction shots" on Reverend Al's show?

It was PAINFUL to watch. The camera panned the room and the audience...wisely...looked like they felt as if they had just invited an idiot to speak to them. And of course, that's excatly what happened. They gave Romney a chance and he squandered it with his idiocy.

Lots of shaking heads...a few people laughing out loud...comments like "wrong message to the wrong group."

During the discussion, one thing was made clear...this speech was not given to the assembled participants at NAACP.

This speech was given to the CAMERAS, to Romney's donors, to the teabaggers.

He made a brief reference to story that he can't talk about now but is coming out tomorrow. Did anyone catch that and what issue regarding Romney it had to do with? I think they were talking about Romney's taxes.
