Oh, Roland Martin. How on earth will you reconcile the narratives now? Everyone should show up to speak at the NAACP national convention, as a given, huh? And if they do show up, the media will make sure to push race-baiting narratives while spinning away pesky facts; like audience members cheering support for traditional marriage, of course.
I don't get excited just because someone shows up. That crap don't satisfy me. It's what you SAY!

Well, what if they don’t show up? And, you know, say nothing?
Like President Obama.
So what time is President Obama's address to the NAACP? Oh, wait…
— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) July 11, 2012
That’s right. President Obama can’t even be bothered to show up. Why?
He has no time for you, NAACP.
Why is Pres Obama not addressing NAACP Convention in this election year? Jay Carney repeatedly said "ask the campaign." (more)

Two Obama Campaign spkspeople say Pres Obama not addressing NAACP because VP Biden is. (more)
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) July 11, 2012
Circular reasoning since VP Biden is addressing the NAACP tomorrow because Pres. Obama is not. (more)

Obama Campaign official says President's schedule didnt allow for him to address NAACP. (more)

A president's schedule allows for him to do anything he wants to do. He has a small army of personnel to make sure that';s the case.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) July 11, 2012
Huh. So, he’s lying as usual. What could possibly be the real reason he can’t be bothered addressing the NAACP?
NAACP needs to ask themselves, why wouldn't Obama speak to them, yes he has their votes, but why not speak to them instead of bumbling biden

.@barackobama didn't even show up to speak to the .@NAACP? Bold move.?? Don't think you don't have to earn votes #potus
— Tif ? ??? (@simplyorganicT) July 11, 2012
The president does think that. He thinks those votes are, and should be, a given.
The fact is Obama doesn't have time for the #NAAcP because he believes he already has their votes

Too bad Barack Obama doesn't have the guts to address the NAACP convention like Mitt Romney did.

Liberal racism: the assumption that you don't have to earn someone's vote, because their skin color ordains it.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) July 11, 2012
Bingo. The real racists are President Obama and his fellow travelers. They believe that one’s political beliefs are, and should be, inextricably linked to one’s skin color (or gender or sexuality). Think for oneself? Ha! Know your place, people, and stay on that leftist plantation. Also, make Obama a sammich.
Democrats like Senator Barbara Boxer inadvertently expose such vile thinking over and over. Remember, she was flabbergasted that a black man did not completely agree with absolutely everything that the NAACP and the 100 Black Men of Atlanta thought. All you people think alike, huh, Senator Boxer? As long as you are “clean and articulate.”
Did the @NAACP ever criticize Joe Biden for his blatantly racist statements about Obama and black people? That deserves more than a few boos

Of course not. Racism is hunky-dory if someone has a (D) after their name.
