Obama Snubs NAACP?
Watching TYT tonight and they did a section on the President not attending the NAACP - Biden is going in his place. Romney will be there.
Apparently Valerie Jarrett thinks if Obama goes it will be bad for his image.
I think this is terrible - it really doesn't matter what the right thinks - no matter what the POTUS does they will continue to denigrate and decry his actions.
But to snub an important part of the base - sorry this is so wrong. President Obama get out there and mix with every person of color/culture/race you can - the GOPT will not do this - you are a president of the people and should support and show yourself with the people.

it's no big thing. We're sorry if it bothers YOU. 
mentioned, he's attended every year. But thank the guys for trying to make an issue where none exists. 
"Smilo"? Any relation to Tavis? 
OBAMA-BIDEN 2012!! 
I wonder if he bothered to mention that the president will address The Urban League two weeks after the NAACP conference? I highly doubt it. The last Democratic president attended in his second term, in 1996 & 1998, and I don't think any of us questioned Bill Clinton's committment to the issues we cared about. This is much ado about nothing.
OBAMA-BIDEN 2012!!
And when you say "many", I think you overestimate the followings of Tavis & Dr. West. The young lady you "argued with on HuffPost" is not representative. Can you ask the young lady which issues the president can address uniliaterally, that have impacted the AA community?
If you're indeed a supporter, your job is to educate, not be party to the gross misinformation that permeates the internet. You should also tell your friend at HuffPo, that if it's an image thing with her, she can catch the president's address to The Urban League two weeks after the NAACP conference. That is if she's actually interested in hearing the president address black America. However, I don't think that's really her issue. 
has to walk, it's his AA supporters. There are a handful of folks, in every demographic, whose main job seems to be to piss and moan. Hey, it's what critics do. I get that. However, like Tavis & West, the young woman with whom you spoke is a rare exception, not the rule.
As we all know, if you want to truly gauge opinion in the black community, go to church, make an appointment with your hairdresser, or your barber. Internet "chats" are unreliable to say the least, because that young "black" lady could turn out to be a fat white dude, living in his Mom's basement. Know what I mean? 
gross overstatement. Pres. Obama hasn't done anything militarily that we weren't forewarned about. He always maintained that he was never anti-war, but anti-"stupid"-war. If he were the "hawk" you claimed he was, we would've hit Iran, N. Korea, and possibly wiped out the Syrian army by now.
Pres. Obama is no warmonger, and hyperbole won't make it so. And I wouldn't hold Cenk's "liberal" credentials up to any prolonged scrutiny if I were you. Much like Arianna & Ed Schultz, he's a former Republican, who found there's money to be made in "conversion".
or rather, questioned Cenk's conversion from conservative to liberal, implied he converted for profit. That post was what prompted this sub-thread, not your post. 
Like I said, a so-so "actor" like Cenk can convince "a few people" of anything. It's all about illusion. Take Arianna for instance, she screwed a whole bunch of folks with her liberal passion, and there was nothing progressive about what she did to the many writers she used to promote herself, and make tons of $$$$. My "personal" feeling is that Cenk's no different, and a fraud.
"He's not progressive enough" is a scripted piece of hyperbole which endears Cenk to an increasingly small, but loud slice of the democratic left. The president's approval among liberal Democrats normally hovers in the mid to high 80's. So it's easy to see who's winning that argument.
The good news is that most of America neither knows nor gives a shit what the fuck a Cenk is.
It looks very friendly, but I don't trust it 
Whether or not you trust your own instincts isn't my issue. I didn't intentionally set out to be rude, but if that's how you perceived it, I bear no responsibility for that.
And frankly, I'm sick of it. Yes, hold the president accountable, but get him reelected as well.
Again, their concern is noted.
Now, let's get to work...
stand alone against the evil in the world, including that of the weak and troubled Obama.
Next to Rachel Maddow they look like junior high students.
I find that these guys who start out as Republicans, like Dylan whats his name, all end up in the same boorish 'they are all the same club"
Perhaps you were unaware of Cenks' roots:
While in college, he wrote a column in The Daily Pennsylvanian criticizing affirmative action recruiting at the university and suggesting that all students should be "judged on their merits rather than their physical characteristics."[10] He supported the pro-life position on the abortion issue, criticized the radical aspects of the feminist movement, and felt Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was treated unjustly during his Senate confirmation hearings.[15] He also criticized organized religion as based on mythology and as a divisive force between peoples.[16]
He has stated that he worked for a time for Republican former New York Congressman Joe DioGuardi.[17] and voted for George H. W. Bush in the 1992 presidential election and for Bob Dole in 1996.
Uygur supported the Gulf War of 1990–1991, and supported the War in Afghanistan from its beginning in 2001 until 2009—though he has strongly opposed the Iraq War.[5]
Uygur expressed denial of the Armenian Genocide in letters published by The Daily Pennsylvanian in 1991 and Salon in 1999, one of which (titled "Historical Fact or Falsehood?"
in he stated ""The claims of an Armenian Genocide are not based on historical facts. If the history of the period is examined it becomes evident that in fact no such genocide took place." [18][19] Uygur's letters later drew criticism from the west-coast affiliate of the Armenian National Committee of America, the California Armenian American Democrats, and other members of Armenian-American community, who subsequently protested during his speech at the California Democratic Party's 2012 state convention with the support of Charles Calderon and Janice Hahn.[20][21][22]
The reason for his fall can be found in my tagline.
Although dramatically labeled SNUBBED!!, TYT makes it clear in the following clip they are only speculating. Your 
of the president is unfounded.
