Obama, I believe, doesn't feel politically comfortable with the NAACP rank and file. He is an outsider. He's a black man that didn't politically matriculate like those within the NAACP, didn't go through the struggle of the 60's. As far as the civil rights movement is concerned he wasn't involved, acts like, is, an elitist from both his and the NAACP's perspective. Maybe he just feels uncomfortable with those whose mindset is still mired in the past.
Maybe he's frightened that he's going to meet up with Jesse Jackson who while doing an interview with Fox news was overheard on a open microphone during a break "that he'd like to cut Obama's nuts off". But then again, he doesn't have to worry about anyone cutting his nuts off, anyway.
Walter Cronkite spoke against the Vietnam War, prompting LBJ to say, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost the country."
Wolf Blitzer is no Walter Cronkite, but if Obama has lost Wolf ...
Is he NAACP a racist organization? I mean aren’t they about JUST helping black people? Isn’t this racist? What would they say about a National Association to help White People? HYPOCRITES.
Blitzer is the exception. CBS news last night slammed Romney’s appearance at the NAACP.
NAACP doesn’t care King Barack ignored them.
Deep down, Obama is a coward.
He, the White Guys token Black, cannot bear the thought that The NAACP MIGHT boo him.
I know, I know, received 96 % of the Black vote in 2008 and all that, but I am talking about just one Black standing up and shouting out a question on gays and then booing Obama.
Ruthless, Marxist Dictator Obama would be reduced to tears.
The “conflict” was in Obama’s cowardly fears.
The only way this makes sense is that Obama doesn’t want to be seen pandering to blacks. Not sure why, but I can think of two possible reasons-there may be others.
1. His economic policies have negatively affected blacks much more than whites. He would rather have his non-appearance be the focus of discussion rather than critique of his policies and their impact on the black community.
2. He doesn’t want to be seen pandering to black people because he thinks that turns off white independent voters.
Oh, Wolf, you are SO brave...
So NAA-L-CP, how do you like your half-rican now?
Morgan Freeman was right!
It’s deliberate - Obama has shown a pattern of not wanting to be associated to closely with “typical black people” and “black organizations” in the public consciousness. He still wants to pretend he’s a president for all Americans, like the last election.
Call out the liberal posse! Wolf Blitzer is off the reservation!
...”He’s a black man that didn’t politically matriculate like those within the NAACP”....
Perhaps you could re-think that statement - he is a half-white man, just as white as he is black. Please, stop with the “first black President” stuff here. Barack Obama IS NOT black!
I would be shocked if Wolfie ever voted for a Republican. He’s still on the rat plantation along with all of his media buds.

The reason why the Democrat media wants the Republican candidate to attend the NAACP convention is so they can get footage of the negative response to him.
Obama doesn’t like black people. He hates his dark side.
Wolf Blitzer needs to understand Obama’s more comfortable with white people. Check out his volunteers and staff. Bush had more blacks working for him... (well, maybe not on the last one...)
