Sheila Jackson Lee plays race card

[DarrinS]

How does this mental midget keep getting elected?

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,” :cry: 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," :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao 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."

[DarrinS]

As opposed to how Bush was warmly embraced by Dems. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Considering the current rancor, good question tbh.

I never remembered this much fanfare before.

Do you, Darrin? Let us know.

[CosmicCowboy]

Sheila Jackson Lee is an ignorant, stupid cunt. Nothing she says should be taken seriously.

[DarrinS]

Do you, Darrin? Let us know.


it's because he's black, duh

[clambake]

so, answer her question.

[clambake]

it's because he's black, duh

you just played the race card.

I'll post the youtube for him...

[DarrinS]

Why did the GOP shut down the govt in 1995?

[ChumpDumper]

it's because he's black, duhThat wasn't the question, Darrin.

Why so much fuss now? Do you remember a similar fuss over the debt ceiling in the past? Tell us about it.

[DarrinS]

I'll post the youtube for him...

8mZ39Zet97Q



He hates himself.

[CosmicCowboy]

Why did the GOP shut down the govt in 1995?

Because Clinton was a better poker player than they were and they got creamed over it.

[ChumpDumper]

I'll post the youtube for him...

8mZ39Zet97QThat's not remembering and that's not anywhere near the current situation.

Disingenuous, CC. I expect better from you.

[DarrinS]

That wasn't the question, Darrin.

:lmao at chump falling for Sheila Jackson Lee's logic.

[ChumpDumper]

:lmao at chump falling for Sheila Jackson Lee's logic.I'm not saying her reasoning is correct, but there is certainly a difference between now and most of the times the debt limit was raised without drama. What is the reason for the drama now, Darrin?

Care to guess?

[CosmicCowboy]

The 2012 election. Both sides are trying to make this the defining issue.

[ChumpDumper]

So it's just politics?

[CosmicCowboy]

Of course.

[Spurminator]

This is a highly surprising, relevant, and important topic. I hope you'll also let us know next time Al Sharpton brings up race.

[ChumpDumper]

True enough, I never would have heard of this person were it not for DarrinS's slavish devotion to her.

[ElNono]

Did she say anything about dishwasher detergent?

That attention whore?

You been livin under a rock?...:p:

Must be a slow news day. What's new?

[Jamtas#2]

I don't think it is a matter of race, just a result of how toxic and polarized our government has become. Flip the R's and the D's around and you'll have the exact same scenario and all their followers will change their tune on how the other is behaving and causing all the problems.

[Creepn]

Of course Obama's race has an affect. I don't know how much it affects but it certainly is a factor.

lol This is America.

Don't think the Dems would flat out say their goal is to make someone a one term president.

Get real.

Irrelevant. Raising the debt ceiling, against the backdrop of a looming election cycle and fresh off an economic collpse, is a fairly unique scenario.

[boutons_deux]

"Raising the debt ceiling, against the backdrop of a looming election cycle and fresh off an economic collpse, is a fairly unique scenario."

bullshit, election cycles are ALWAYS "looming" except about 3 months after an election.

Cutting govt spending (not talking about Keynesian counter-cycle increased spending) is guaranteed to worsen the economy, as govt jobs and contracting lost at every level of govt.

[djohn2oo8]

Get real.
I'm being quite real, what other president in U.S. history was branded as a "terrorist" solely because of his name and color?

[ChumpDumper]

[cheguevara]

Same thing goes for Palin and Bachman

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I think she's the one that wanted to introduce a resolution in Congress to recognize Michael Jackson as an international humanitarian :lol

That should say plenty

[TeyshaBlue]

That was my point.

Ah...my bad.:toast

Thanks for completely missing the point and adding more of your non sequiturs. You're quite the bot, bot.:lol

You were talking about the stated goal, of making him a one turn candidate (which is the defacto purpose of any opposition campaign :rolleyes). Now you're spouting some terrorist meme. Pick a lane.

Republicans came out and said they want him to be a one term president even if it comes at the expense of the country. No compromises, when you say you want someone to fail, it has more to do than just his policies.

[TeyshaBlue]

I see. They actually said they want him to be a one term president even if it comes at the expense of the country. Or, is that just another meme of yours? Remember, the goal of any opposition campaign to an incumbent is to remove the opponent from office.

Perception's a bitch.

[TDMVPDPOY]

playing the race card? only clowns who bring up t he race card when they dont have any other answer...fck them, if it was a race card, obama wouldnt be president...

[boutons_deux]

Bachmann doesn't play, SHE IS RACIST

Bachmann: Divert black farmer money to flood victims

it was a waste to pay African American farmers who sued the government over discrimination.

Bachmann and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told reporters that funds intended for a 1999 settlement of the Pigford case should be diverted to flood victims along the Missouri River,

The Pigford settlement was an obscene joke.

The Pigford settlement was an obscene joke.

Obscene jokes are usually the funniest, though.
