"Bush said he would not accept the NAACP's invitation to address it because the groups members have persistantly critisized administrations tax and social policies that they have said hurt black Americans.

If Bush is not speaking because he was critisized on such topics, would he be speaking anywhere? The whole point of speaking in front of someone who disagrees with you is to make them agree with you by telling them why such plans are good for that specific group of people. It seems like he is picking and choosing his America by appealing to only the wealthy American, but saving face by helping SOME minority business owners and home owners.
I can't wait to see a debate between John Kerry and George Bush, I feel it's going to be hard for someone to keep a straight face.

The best part about this story is that Kerry DID speak..

"In a speech to the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Kerry chided Bush for promoting "narrow values" and policies that he said tolerate racial and economic inequalities in U.S. society."

OK, there is a bit of pandering going on(surprise) here, but Bush just left the door open.

Not meeting with the NAACP in an election year is a complete screw-up...
