Race, the Debt Ceiling
July 15, 2011 4:04 P.M.
By Andrew Stiles
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) gets to the bottom of the debt ceiling debate:
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.
“I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness [toward] this president,†said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “Why is he different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully? Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Why did the leader of the Senate continually talk about his job is to bring the president down to make sure he is unelected?â€
Actually, in the midst of all that blather, Rep. Jackson Lee manages to raise one legitimate question. More:
“I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president — only this one, only this one — has received the kind of attacks and disagreement and inability to work, only this one,†said Jackson Lee from the House floor.
“Read between the lines,†she continued. “What is different about this president that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills, something required by both statute and the 14th amendment?â€

SJL is in the same race baiting class as Jackson and Sharpton. I happen to think she's playing with a lot less marbles than the other two, though.

I find the very existence of a congressional black caucus to be racist on it's face and any member of this circle jerk to be racists as well.

How quick they forget, all the shit they threw at Bush. Were all the black folks who hated Bush racists as well?

If a group only allowed white members it would immediately be declared racist. As the caucus only allows black people I would think that it should be considered racist also.

As I recall, the Communist Black Caucus considered for quite a while whether it would grant Rep. West admission into their "esteemed ranks", before it finally gave in to the "Uncle Tom"...

Or until someone pointed out that either they let him in, or it's obvious that they're more concerned about politics than helping African-americans.
