Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, OUR COMMON GROUND Voice
Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee made a direct appeal to the African American community for its vote in his address to the 103rd NAACP convention. He touched on five areas, “…open up energy, expand trade, cut the growth of government, focus on better educating tomorrow’s workers today, and restore economic freedom…” It was a well written and well delivered speech but Romney stated the obvious, told the audience what they already knew, and did not offer any substantive or new policy initiatives. Unfortunately for those in attendance he was playing more to his base and not his audience. As the late James Brown would have said, “he was talkin’ loud and sayin’ nothin’.”
