Congressman: Obama's Senate Replacement Must Be Black
« on: December 04, 2008, 09:27:54 AM »
Quote
The race to replace Barack Obama as Illinois' junior senator heated up Tuesday as Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., called on Gov. Rod Blagojevich to name a black man or woman to the seat.

By invoking race, Rush, who is black, drove a potential wedge between the prospective white and black contenders for the seat. Rush said it would be a "national disgrace" if Obama's seat were not filled by an African American.
(snip)
Obama's seat has been occupied twice by a black politician since the early '90s. Carol Moseley Braun, the first and only black woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, held the seat from 1993 to 1999, when Peter Fitzgerald defeated her. Obama then succeeded Fitzgerald in 2005 and served until he resigned last month to prepare for the presidency.

Rush, a former Black Panther member who defeated Obama in a 2000 race for a seat in the House of Representatives, said that he wasn't backing any particular candidate to replace Obama and that he had no insight into whether Blagojevich was leaning toward a white candidate over a black candidate, or vice-versa.

Two blacks have held that seat, and what have they accomplished?  Mosley-Braun was suspected of campaign improprieties and we all know that the Messiah did nothing.

Sounds to me like Rush is jockeying to get appointed to the seat himself.

I seem to remember in the distant past that ol' thing called:

"The person with the best qualifications gets the job."

No bullshit about race, creed, color, national origin, or whether the sumbitch has a terrorist for a friend.

I guess we've come a long, long way.

Of course it never even occured to Rep. Bobby Rush that the Senate has NEVER had a disabled Mexican-American lesbian wicca before. What a bigoted loser he is.

They want to and probably will appoint Emil Jones, Barack Hussein Obama's "mentor",  to replace him. The Machine lives.
