PITTSBURGH (AP)--President Bush is making a rare appearance before a group that represents black Americans, part of an effort to build ties to a demographic group that overwhelmingly voted against him in 2000.

Bush traveled to Pittsburgh on Monday to address a conference of the National Urban League, a group less critical of his policies than the NAACP, which he has shunned during his 2 1/2 years in office.

It was his second trip in a week, and the 21st of his presidency, to Pennsylvania, a state he is working hard to capture next year's election.

Bush planned to give a 25-minute speech, but not to meet otherwise with Urban League leaders or members.

Just whisk him in for his gig.....and whisk him on out of there.

Oh......at some point, someone is going to screw up and leave him standing in a room of people who are going to ask him real questions........Oh, let the cameras be rolling......

2. Real questions from real black people

Shrubs worst nightmare. All those questions about Florida and what he'll do to protect blacks voting rights would be really interesting.
