You didn't mean to touch on the problem but you did inadvertently I didn't touch on it at all. A American president choosing not to speak to a group doesn't mean he isn't their president or that he doesn't consider himself to be their president. I could understand if the NAACP was some radical, militant, left wing org. I don't know if I would go as far as militant but left wing would be accurate. Is it or is it not your contention that a president is only president of (or only considers himself to be president of) people whose meeting he addresses? Its my contention that Bush should not have turned down the NAACP four years in a row. What an insult! Yes you've made it clear that you think Bush should not have turned down the invitation. Does a president choosing not to speak to a group mean that he is not their president or that he definitely does not consider himself to be their president, yes or no? There is no way to prove my point but the NRA is one level below the Aryan Nation which is about as radical as you can't get. The NRA is hardly radical, and is not at all like the Aryan Nation. The NAACP is more radical then the NRA in many ways, certainly the NAACP is not "much less radical then the NRA". Tim
