Michelle laments the fact that Bush “squandered” an opportunity to put those uppity black folks in their place:

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.

Yes, because everyone knows that rich, white, conservative Christians are virtually ignored by this administration. Right.

In other news, the Republicans must be really, really desperate. Bush would’ve loved to have finished out his term without crawling to the NAACP after nearly six years of snubbing them. Low approval ratings and a looming Congressional election call for desperate measures.
