BUSH@NAACP: MISSED OPPORTUNITY By Michelle Malkin · July 20, 2006 01:32 PM
Via AP, the White House makes nice with the grievance-mongers at the NAACP:
Bush Acknowledges Racism Still Exists
Full text of the speech is here.
What a squandered opportunity. Bush could have hit back hard at the race exploiters who shamelessly accused him of hating black people and suppressing black votes and causing Hurricane Katrina.
As for the lingering existence of racism, the President could have used his platform to excoriate NAACP leftists for doing and saying nothing while liberal bigots relentlessly attack minority members of his administration and the Republican Party.
Could have. But didn't. You learn not to expect so much from a White House more concerned with La Raza, CAIR, and the NAACP than with its own base.
