It is true that blacks are worse off now, economically, than when Obama took office. The unemployment rate alone confirms this. But the challenge Romney has is to convince voters he will do a better job than Obama has. Of course he knows few blacks will vote for him. So you have to figure he spoke at the NAACP to send a message to his base --- the majority of white voters who usually vote Republican anyway.
" So you have to figure he spoke at the NAACP to send a message to his base"? Actually, you don't have to figure that. You could figure he wanted to reach out to blacks and tell them what he would do for them if he were president.
