No Still Means No

Bush declined invitations to speak at the NAACP (and LULAC) conventions this year at first citing schedule conflicts, but later revealing he would not appear because, "You've heard the names and rhetoric they've called me." Indeed harsh words have been said from NAACP leadership about Bush's policies. However, Bush is the first US President in 70 years to snub the invitation to speak before the convention and a lot of leaders have taken heat from the 500,000 member civil rights group. Publicly invited one last time today to speak, Bush promptly refused again. "If the president has a new mandate that says he will only meet with people that agree with him, then God save our nation," Kweisi Mfume, President of the NAACP said.
