There's only one word to describe what happened, RUDE! I support the work of the NAACP but, if they didn't want to hear what Mr. Romney had to say, why invite him? I believe a Mitt Romney presidency would be a disaster for Americans regardless of skin color. However, this is another example of the lack of civility in American politics. At what point does it stop? Older Americans wonder why so many other Americans, including younger voters, are turned off by politics. My message to those older than me, on all sides of the political debate, is grow up and stop acting like unruly children. Children in a kindergarten are more civil to each other than adults participating in political debates.
Mitt Romney was booed Wednesday at the NAACP conference for promising to repeal the president's signature health care reform law, bringing him to an awkward halt in the middle of an otherwise civilly-received pitch for black voters.
It was an awkward moment that forced him to go off script, after giving a somewhat pained smile as the booing continued.
"I'm going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program I can find, that includes Obamacare, and I'm going to work to reform and save --" Romney said before being interrupted for about 15 seconds.
Considering a similar response to George W. Bush, how can progressives/liberals be surprised when, Bush for example, refused an invitation to speak? I believe one problem, and there are many, with our current political system is the fact our political process is controlled by the DNC and RNC. They're able to deny third party candidates access to debates or creating rules that make it more difficult for third party candidates to be on ballots. Why not open up the process to more political parties - left, right and the middle - and instead of engaging in childish election tactics let's have a real debate about the future of this country.

That's pretty gutsy, like Obama going to speak at a white power event.(he hasn't)
However, why didn't Obama speak there?
Was he afraid, because of how poorly minorities are doing under his administration?
Or does he just think his race puts us minorities in his pocket?
did you hear Joe Biden? Fake black accent, hispanic slur jokes. but that's okay, since he's a democrat
Considering how much some white people hate Obama, I wouldn't advise him to appear anywhere close.
Could you please provide proof? I saw no evidence of that.
And might I please ask you this, if he had declined the invite, how many folks on the left would have called him racist for not going?
It seems that no matter what mittens does, you would condemn it.
Now, you know that are some folks on the right who are that way about Mr. Obama.
Are you like those people? Just about Mittens instead?
I comment on what Romney says and does.
But I will tell you this, those reports are false, just like many of the things coming out of Obama's campaign.
However, this doesn't excuse being rude!
