Within a handful of hours, two moments occurred on Wednesday that displayed President Obama's appeal to the African-American community and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney unpopularity with it.

The first event was the release of a parody video by Obama impersonator Alphacat set to the theme of rapper Jay-Z's song "99 Problems." During the parody video, Obama proclaims that he's "got 99 problems but Mitt ain't one." 

To further display Obama's support within the African-American community, Mitt Romney was booed on Wednesday at the NAACP's annual convention in Houston when he said he would eliminate the health care law if elected president.

You can watch both videos below.
