First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.
The nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo. In addition to jobs and the economy, anti-Tea Party activism has been a large focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.
The resolution is part of the movement to realign people against the Tea Party, which has emerged as a strong grassroots, albeit fragmented, force across the country.
"We have to close the enthusiasm gap," NAACP president Ben Jealous said in an interview with the Associated Press Friday. "The danger of the Tea Party is that people see them and think about periods in history when groups like them were much more powerful than they are now, and so a lot of what we spend energy doing is explaining to people what reality is, and that the reality is that the majority from 2008 still exists."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in coordination with 170 other groups, including labor unions, is planning a protest march in Washington, D.C., Oct. 10 as the next step in building momentum against the Tea Party.

I am not so sure Obama will run in 2012. And if he does, he will lose.
Did she mean that Whitey’s are a bunch of Ignorant crackers that don’t like being ruled by the Black Man.
Yeah. Someone with the credibility of bellybutton lint.
I'm ready to be done with these racists, thank you very much. Impeach him and send the whole miserable bunch of them off to obscurity someplace . . . . . . . like his home country of Kenya. We'll see how much Michelle likes being married to him when all they have is a shack next to his half-brother George.
But after the Iowa (whitey) caucus...it was the first time in her adult life she was proud of her country. Want to see racism? go to Africa and see what is happening to the white farmers.

Thanks for the FASHION PING!
MOBama’s words are ugly and fake.
Her dress is a fright. Big wgite polka dots an such a large person (with such a big foul mouth) is bad fashion sense.
Looks like she is wrapped in jumbo bubble wrap.
IMHO, she just got the Tea Party candidates a lot more votes. These Leftists just don’t understand the implications and impact of their trash talking on real Americans.
Michelle’s mama is still livin large in OUR house on OUR dime, ain’t she?
Unemployment 10 percent, Out of Control Government Spending, record breaking defecit, Out of control national debt, Wars without end, Unchecked disasters, so like the NBP party member said crackers gonna know what its like to be Ruled By The Black Man
The list, ping
Isn’t this like “the pot calling the kettle black”?
More like the NAACP pot calling the Tea Party kettle 'whitey.'
Your just a typical whitey, not wanting to be ruled by the black man, wanting to “take the country back”, presumably, from the “black man who happens to be president”.
“Michelle Obama is an idiot.”
She’s dead from the neck up Jim.
Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.< /Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals >
It seems like more because they have a huge media presence and the Dems regard them as the tip of the leftist revolution and do everything possible to magnify their presence. I think even most blacks don’t know they are being used this way, but they are.
If these folks spent as much time and effort doing something other than hatin’ and blaming whitey, they might could move forward.
All their problems are because of someone else.
Since decent Americans have gotten to the point where they’ve had enough, the race baiters have been unsuccessful in shutting up the non-race baiting types.
This is a last gasp to keep the NAACP relevant. IMO, they should be completely IGNORED. Should they come out with some sort of ‘racist’ proclamation, I would hope local Tea Party types would issue a statement that as Constitutional supporters they respect the right of the NAACP to issue statements, regardless of their dubious accuracy.
The First Wookie is stoking the race card fire. Knock me over with a 2 x 4....
