Tweet Roundup: Romney's NAACP Speech

Mitt Romney stood up before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today and told them why he would make a better president than Obama. It was a news event made for jokes, and here are some of the best…

Just watched video of Romney at the NAACP. Looked like he was trying to find the button that locked the doors on his podium.

"Forgot to mention this, but my neighbor Nate's black, & I've never complained about his parties. Well, once." ~Mitt Romney addressing NAACP

Mitt Romney got booed. He should have taken my advice and worn sequins while singing "At Last". #StandingOvation

In retrospect, Romney shouldn't have titled his NAACP speech "Why Mookie Should Apologize For Throwing A Trash Can Through Sal's Pizzeria."

Romney spoke to NAACP in Houston. Poor Mitt just doesn't know how to relate. He told the crowd, "I've got a black American Express card."

Deeply concerned that every single black person without exception will vote for Romney after his NAACP speech today.

Congrats, Mitt Romney on winning the NAACP's "Whitest Man Competition."

Romney speaking with the NAACP is like Obama doing a speech at a Ted Nugent show.
