Bingo. But if the president of the US is afraid to face a hostile crowd in an election year, what would he do if faced with real danger? He didn't have problems facing the NAACP when he was running for election, although they didn't like him then either.
But yes, he could have stuck to the scheduling conflict story and sent a video. Then the onus would have been on the NAACP to show it, not on Bush because he could have claimed that he tried to accomodate them. He needs to fire his campaign advisors, because this could be the straw to cause him to lose the election.

Puuhhhleease!! Bush isn't going to win or lose the election based on him not going. Its not about facing a hostile crowd...its about facing a closed minded crowd that will only use this as an opportunity to vent their frustrations to the President. I don't take the NAACP seriously anymore...and its obvious that many Americans don't.
