After five years of rejecting invitations, Bush to speak to NAACP

Updated 7/18/2006 1:59 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House announced Tuesday that President Bush plans to speak to the NAACP for the first time since taking office, after rejecting the civil rights group's invitations for five years.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Bush decided to speak to the group Thursday because of "a moment of opportunity" for the president to tout his civil rights record and mend fences.

"He has an important role to play, not only in making the case for civil rights, but maybe more importantly, the case for unity," Snow said. "Because as long as we have a nation that's in any way divided along racial lines or where politics become a source of division rather one of civil debate and trying to perfect the democracy, that's a problem."

Bush's decision comes in a critical midterm election year, when Republicans fear losing control of Congress and Bush has been working to get more votes for the GOP. Bush received just 11% of the black vote in the 2004 election.

1. I think only hardcore Walmart Republicans will fall for this.

They are corrupt through and through.

2. The hearing involving ol' Speedy was held today.

One of the theofascists chuckled at the fact that Gonzo now understood what a "warm welcome" means.
The fascio-publicans who are up for reelection this year were burning him pretty good.
There were many, many questions that pointed out how badly the * administration is breaking the law in far more areas than we even suspected.

A shattering example of the new stature that Speedy and the bfee now enjoy was pointed out by the fact that Arlen Spectre required him to be sworn in. (chortle chuckle!)
Now I understand why Sen. Specter wrote the legislation that basically gives the crooks what they said they wanted in exchange for a wider oversight.

These people are in deep, deep trouble and they are looking for someone, anyone to look a little more favorably on them, even (gasp!)people of color.

These rascals are disgusting. Of course they are now sucking up, big time.
