Carney should have said, “Why send an empty suit when they could get a clown.” (Biden for Obama)

He knows he has their votes. No need to kowtow like Romney.

Obama also knows that he might not get the warmest of receptions given a 14.4% unemployment rate for blacks and the condition of inner city schools.

And Obama would rather not be the head cheerleader at a black ogranization in the run up to the election given his declining support from whites who still make up 66% of the electorate. it is about optics.

I think Romney handled his NAACP speech very well.

Joe Biden speech preview:

"Thank you all for inviting me to this association of colored people. It's great to be here. I mean it. You people are great. I love that rat-a-boom-rat-a-boom-shakka-shakka music you guys do. Makes me want to dance. Just terrific... and I like those foods you people eat - the chicken and peaches and oprah - that green vegetable that's like pickles sort of without being pickled. Listen to me! I sound like I'm pickled half the time. Like I'm Dean Martin or something - Sammy's great too! Sammy Davis Jr. - is he still alive? Is he? I hope so! No? He's not? That's a shame. Well, god bless him... not the the normal god, the Jewish god. He was a jew... a black jew... strike one! strike two! - just kidding! That was just a joke. Next thing you know I'll get in trouble for saying something like that. I loved Sammy Davis Jr. - "rat-a-boom-rat-a-boom-shakka-shakka baby!" and then he'd wink at the audience... did you know he only had one eye? strike three!! Just kidding - yikes, I'd better watch myself or I'll get in trouble again. The media'll lynch me for saying the wrong thing if I'm not careful... now, what was I saying..."

Exactly. What's the worst that'll happen.. black support for 0bama will drop to 99.998%?

Blacks are firmly chained to the plantation floor. They're going absolutely nowhere.

“Y’know I’d like to appear with that Tupac fella next time I’m up here. Is he still out there? Oh...he’s dead.. Well, God love him! I didn’t know he got shot up.. I mean with bullets, not needles. How is it you say it down in ‘da hood’... ‘fa-shizzle.’ Oh, that’s a bad f-in’ thing? I’d better stop now.”

They won’t be going to the polling booth in November either...hope has faded as well as their enthusiasm about “The One”.

Haha! You know darn well the NAACP crowd hates Biden far more than they do Romney.

Obama advance colored people? And lose his base? Not in a million.

Why would Obama “duck” a lovefest? He owns their vote. Accusing Obama of ducking the NAACP is like accusing Romney of ducking Utah? This reporter needs to find a new line of work, one that does not require logic.

Nobody wants to see Biden. I would run through a field of poop to avoid listening to him. ;-)

"Joe Biden speech preview:"

Haha! That's exactly why I'm kinda looking forward to the VP's speech in front of the NAACP!

Kudos! Very good!
