Quote of the Day


"And I submit to you this: If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him. You take a look!"—Mitt Romney, speaking at the NAACP, a few minutes ago.

1. LOL FOREVER.

2. This is a a subtle distinction, but I find it very interesting that he said he would makes things better "in the African-American community," rather than for the African-American community. They seem to connote different things, to me.

[Video Description: Mitt Romney says the quoted lines; looks smug and challenging. The audience laughs and boos.]
