So Romney you know far broader picture on yes -- parliament runner -- to the NAACP just -- -- and you have to know -- the reception is going to be but I want anymore yeah well I think you gotta given some credit for that.

And of course in a look at the papers this morning you're gonna see a lot of headlines that say that he was booed there.

And he was and he says he expected that he would be -- on that lie and that he would repeal Obama care.

If he makes it into the presidential office I don't think that's any big surprise but.

We carried it live on America's Newsroom yesterday and when you watch the whole thing there were some very interesting moments.

And applause lines -- IE could feel like there was some folks in the -- who work.

Responding to what he was saying and and -- -- I thought it was interesting when he said you know if you want the best president for the black community you're looking at a and I thought that was and it kind of an -- -- he got some -- and scuffles in the -- at that point two but he was talking about jobs and is talking about education.

And is talking about charter schools in America's inner cities.

And the fascinating thing about that to me.

Is that the NAACP in their relationship with the unions in a lot of inner cities has led them to be against charter schools which have been in many cases in New York City.

I Newark, New Jersey some of the best most innovative programs for inner city kids we've seen a really hard times -- shocks me.

That the members of the NAACP some of them in the leadership would be.

Is still close to the unions that they would be against something that has been so good for inner city kids so I thought that was a really interesting.

Point that that Iran is trying to make yesterday I don't know how much how well it resonated with that -- is something to pay attention -- The general.

Until -- was -- NAACP.

Leadership endorsed.

Same sex marriage torched.

While no one asked may have shall I support -- but the but the poll suggests.

But the rank and file lone African Americans do not support center -- I mean that I think that that's that's a big story for the NAACP.

I think that they have over the year separated from American trial.

And we see a similar thing happening in the -- isn't this country as well because a lot of union members to page use do not share the political believes of the leadership of those unions -- ECB's large organizations that typically over over the course of you know political history since the fortieth since 1940s.

Being very much out of step with a lot of people it in their rank and file.

And you know I I think he -- -- rebellion against that and I think in many ways that there's an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal this morning that says what Mitt Romney really should -- Rather than speech -- the NAACP.

Is spend time in charter schools and inner cities make you know put those on his agenda in terms of his campaign stops.

And show people that he is approve -- approving of what's got going on at the grassroots in his charter.

School organizations now they're not all great but a lot of charter schools have done a lot of good work.

In the inner city so maybe that is where he should be spending his time -- -- speaking to two groups like us.

And then nobody seems upset -- -- like column Fox News she does America's news room with.

-- Suzanne Bill Hemmer column him he's -- -- Mexico this weekend as general them.

-- -- -- dad so yeah let not bad Ramirez.

Same subset out but the president has not going straight to -- NAACP convention.

And you know Joseph Biden is gonna doll.

I think it's interesting you now.

I think it's very interesting and I covered the queen's jubilee as you know old -- in the pouring rain about a month -- LP and it was isn't -- issues a lot of respect Queen Elizabeth the Second sometimes you have to little long life to sort of get people to notice that you've been.

Supporting them all of these years and that they say hey you know what she's really symbolizes loyalty in this country.

She is -- -- to identify with our national identity is as englishman an English women.

She's -- really getting a lot of good -- in England right now.

Did you -- watch Wimbledon.

Little bit of Wimbledon I think of much of like but I did watch any marry crying though the morning that he loss because I heard about that -- I -- go back and take a look at it.

Sissy -- loser in Bush's what mr.

Chatham Massachusetts has sharks that are you know fourteen to eighteen feet long -- whale -- and they come there every summer.

And one -- -- the other day and now they think it might gonna basking shark but when there's like fifteen foot shark next year kayak down think you really care if it's -- -- humans probably.

But down they if they come every summer to -- there's the picture and if you can see it but -- up on the screen right now back -- to that guy that was as first time ever kayaking and his daughter told him to -- sharks around here -- -- sharks center he -- the likelihood that we're gonna see a shark is today -- And worry about it so this is what ended up happening to -- and he was next to this huge shark.

That they think we're gonna basking shark but the guy that I spoke to his shark expert said he thought it was a great white I look at that -- the guy on the -- -- front of him.

So it's pretty and they -- there because there's tons of seals and huge seal populations so I'm hoping that they've got planning for breakfast lunch and dinner.
