Earlier this month, Mitt Romney gave a speech to the NAACP, during which he was booed at several points, most notably after pledging to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And this even though, as Lean Forward reported, it appears the Romney campaign deliberately brought in a group of African-American conservatives to try to ensure a friendlier reception.
Now, Team Romney is looking to put a shinier gloss on the speech. "We Need Mitt Romney," a new video the campaign released Thursday targeting black voters, "rewrites history," as ThinkProgress puts it, "by splicing together Romney’s speech with shots of a couple audience members nodding as if in agreement. While Romney received a polite standing ovation when he was done speaking, the video has been edited to make it seem like the audience rose to their feet to applaud him mid-speech."
Watch:
In reality, of course, President Obama enjoys the overwhelming support of African-American voters, polls suggest.

What do you do when a man's instinct is to lie, rather than deal with truth and reality? A loser.
What would do for a clondyke bar???
Is Mitt seriously planning to just lie his way to the White House? Does he actually think that Americans can't actually separate truth from and blatant bold face lie or is he planning on continuously shoring up his loon base with lies because even they know he is fraud?
This is so sad! This man so much wants to have the title and pomp of the presidency that lying for him is the norm and not the exception. Couple the lies with voter suppression laws and purging eligible voters from the eligible voters' lists, he hopes will bring him a victory.
By the way, this man is so out of touch that he thinks that this ad will swing African American voters. He should be satisfied with those who are already in his camp.
He's a sick,sick man,

This is what really happened.
Most Republican voters are aware that Mitt Romney is bad for this country as President, but they are so bigoted and full of Hatred because we have a Black President that they rather suffer another awful resession with Mitt Romney's Bush policies than to vote for "that Black guy", as they call him, and let the economy recover at a steady pace. It's the Republicans in Congress who are responsible for our lack of progress toward a full recovery. Just because they're politicians doesn't mean they left their bigotry at home. They took it to the Halls of Congress with them.
We have a pathological liar running as the Republican candidate for President.
The vast majority of the Americans who watched the Republican party Primary (Cattle Call) that Mitt Romney is a Liar. But what is even worst than Mitt Romney, is those Afro Americans who would actually help him lie, not only to Afro Americans in general but to all peoples of color. Within the black community we have always had those Blacks who would sell their souls to get the approval of the very people who would do the most damage to the masses, as long as a they got an extra crumb from the pie. And as always we feed them with a long handled spoon.
It's not just Mitt & the Republican politicians, it's also their voters. They are aware that Romney is another round of Bush policies, but they are so bigoted and full of hatred for this Black President that will gladly vote for the Devil himself if they had to and lose their souls than vote for PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. They are a sad lot, and they care not that their families would suffer greatly under a Romney/Republican leadership; just get rid of the "Black" guy. They ACTUALLY believe that this land belongs to whites{Palin's "Real Americans"} and that a Black man or woman has no business being able to become president; hence, the new restrictions proposed on minorities getting funding to go to college. IT'S THEIR WAY OF SAYING "WE WON'T TOLERATE ANY MORE OBAMAS{Highly Educated Black Men}, they're too dangerous".
Mitt will always be Mitt.
Romney's testing the American intelligent level, which isn't too high as believed by ALL politicians. The public seems to have forgotten the term public servant,and who writes their checks,now that the women are in power,we've taken the bend over policy,no good can come from this type of thought.
Romney always believe he was smarter then the average person. His expertise is not Baines, its mind control. Wake up people, do not allow this decietful man move into 1600 pennsylvaina.
Of course people will believe the ad. If the only news you watch is Fox News, you already believe everything you are spoon fed. You believe every out-of-context commercial you see, every anti-Obama rant you hear on right-wing radio, and every editorial you read in the Washington Times and Wall Street Journal.
