Sheila Jackson Lee: GOP Complicating Debt Debate Because 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 she hoped someone would prove her wrong, however, she doesn’t believe she is.
“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.”

The saddest thing about this is the fact that, most of the members of the Black Caucus, probably agree with her.
This is what happens when there are no term limits. This woman and others like her keep getting re-elected.
When all else fails, play the race card or make personal attacks. Basic tenant of the Democratic Party, play book.

She's is an enigma. Especially with her last name Jackson-Lee. Named after two of the South's biggest Icons, still.
But really Miss Jackson-Lee it's not racsim we don't like the white half either.

Wild thing Your IQ test results for the Congress lady was the funniest thing I have seen this week.
The saddest fact is that her district was created when the California Legislature redistricted Bob Dornan out of Congress and I think that her congressional district was the inspiration of the movie "idiocracy."

Sean, I agree so much. Term limits would solves a lot of the power these people grow to hold so dear.
