Donnie McClurkin Talks Mitt Romney & Politics; Says ‘Anointed People Vote Their Conscience’

Presumptive republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney took his message to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Wednesday. In Obama’s absence, Romney delivered a speech that, at points, earned him boos and jeers. But at least Pastor Donnie McClurkin gives Romney an E for effort.

During his speech, Obama’s opponent promised to focus on job creation by getting rid of things he believes hinder that process. “I am going to eliminate every non-essential expensive program I can find. That includes Obamacare,” said the polished politician who has been gaining ground with American voters. But that pronouncement didn’t go over well with the NAACP audience and Romney was forced to smile through an extended chorus of boos.

“I’ve got to admit. Mitt Romney is a brave man! I have to applaud his chutzpah! [He’s] at the NAACP and telling them he’s going to abolish OBAMACARE,” tweeted McClurkin, noting that it took real gumption to address the democratic, overwhelmingly pro-Obama group.

“I believe that if you understood who I truly am in my heart, and if it were possible to fully communicate what I believe is in the real, enduring best interest of African-American families, you would vote for me for president,” Romney said.
