Bush loves minorities. 1st time since Herbert Hoover that a sitting president has turned down the NAACP? Gotta be good news for Kerry
At least he was cordial enough to make sure that his response was personally hand-signed by his event scheduler. :guns: It's a shame he turned this one down since it will be the last offer he will receive as president.
Bush has nothing against minorities, except for those who won't vote for him. I doubt he wants to alienate voters at this time. From the article: "The NAACP received a letter from the White House three weeks ago declining the invitation because of scheduling conflicts and thanking them for understanding."
Actually, from what I understand, Bush actually did speak to the NAACP in 2000, back when he needed their votes. However, he hasn't spoken to them at all after taking office, the first time a sitting President has done that since Hoover. So he didn't just snub them this year, he's actually snubbed them for the past 3 years.
Got it. Thanks. Yeah, he didn't speak at the NAASP (National association of Speckeled People) either. :mrgreen: Atoyot
