Jackson Lee Flashes Race Card
http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-actio...obama-is-black
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?”
Earlier in her speech, Jackson Lee said Obama has been targeted unlike any other president.
"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?"
Jackson Lee concluded by saying that she hoped someone would step up and say that what appears obvious to her is not in fact true.
"I hope someone will say that what it appears to be is not in fact accurate," said Lee. "But historically it seems to be nothing more."

Libs are as predictable as they are ludicrous.

She must have been in a coma from 2000-2008.

Critters like sjl support my belief that there should be some sort of IQ test for politicians. Something simple like, oh, maybe reciting the alphabet from memory. Just a thought. (Should that be in pink?  )

They've been trained to not want a job.

As her voting record exhibits; she never met a liberal cause she didn't like, nor a conservative cause that she did like.

meh
If you argue with jackasses like her, you are a racist because only a racist would try to explain away why they dont support the black POTUS...
If you agree with her, then you have agreed that you dont support him because he is black and thus you are a racist...
So if you dont vote for pres obama it is because you are a racist.
You bunch of hateful bastards.

I'm amazed that anybody, let alone anyone of worth on this BB, would ever pay any attention to anything Congresswoman Lee says or does.

What do you do when she's on NPR; turn off the radio?
I pay attention to what the idiot has to say because I like to know my enemy.
