Talk show host Tavis Smiley, who has been critical of President Barack Obama, continues his criticism of Obama, and insists that Obama is disrespecting him by not inviting Smiley to the White House.
“Prior to his being elected, he came on my radio programs and TV programs with regularity,” Smiley said. “Once he got elected and my critique of him — about holding him accountable to various things didn’t sit so well with him or the people around him — he has not, at this point, come on my TV or radio programs one time since he’s been in this White House.”
Smiley said Obama “is the first president in my professional career that hasn’t invited me to the White House.”
