Bush at the NAACP
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is having their annual convention this week. President Bush will be speaking at the conference because, according to White House spokesman, Tony Snow, "he has an important role to play not only in making the case for civil rights, but maybe more importantly, the case for unity."
Now, call me crazy, but I thought that a pretty good job was done "making the case for civil rights" back in the 1960s. I'm not sure how a rich, white man from Texas is going to further that case. I picture something akin to Mr. Mackey of South Park fame. "Civil rights are good, mmkay."
The article on CNN about this is here.

You sound completely sane to me. :)
We can judge intent and integrity not by what people say but by what they do.
One thing we can count on...W., if he follows his speech spinners may have something valuable to say, but if he follows his own mind he is likely to prove his real position on civil rights.
