Romney: Who Let the Dogs Out?

Jacksonville, FL

Governor Romney paid tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. when speaking to a group of employees at Gate Petroleum today and then shook hands and posed for photos with African-American families at a parade.

The presidential hopeful met a friendly crowd at the Martin Luther King, Jr. parade here. The former Massachusetts governor often runs back and forth across streets during parades to greet people and today was no exception. He shook hands with ROTC members, tiny beauty queens, police officers and many parade-goers, including children screaming his name. He jumped off the Mitt Mobile to greet a waiting crowd, took a picture with some kids and young adults and awkwardly quipped, ”Who let the dogs out? Who who.”

He took pictures with many in the crowd and greeted one baby wearing a necklace saying, “Hey buddy! How’s it going? What’s happening? You got some bling bling here!”

Romney even received some hugs, but some Obama supporters held up signs and one woman yelled, “Mitt Romney go home. You are holding up the parade!” Once the parade did start Romney hopped back on the Mitt Mobile and headed to his next stop.

He began his remarks at a petroleum company honoring the legacy of the civil rights leader saying he “fulfilled the promise of the Declaration of Independence.”

“Obviously the Declaration indicated that we are all individuals created by the same maker, we’re sons and daughters of God and we’re given equal opportunity,” Romney continued, “And that was not fulfilled in this country for a long, long time. And in some places today, it is still yet to be fulfilled. And Martin Luther King is an individual who opened the doors to bringing down so many of the barriers that had kept so many people from having their full potential realized, and showed again what one person can do. It’s amazing the impact of an individual.”

Romney segued directly into his stump speech:

“So I wish to begin by paying my respects to his great memory and accomplishment. My areas of accomplishment are not like his, not on that level, and yet I took a very different course in my life than most people who are in office. My life was like your mayor’s: I spent my life in the private sector.”

Romney is campaigning down the entire Florida peninsula today—starting in Jacksonville and ending in Boca Raton.
