Conservative bloggers went wild Monday when they got wind of the Congressional Black Caucus’ suggestion that President Obama pick Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston for the post of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Rich Cooper, avid blogger for Security Debrief, responded to the news of the Jackson Lee recommendation in a post by saying, “Apparently, it is not a joke. For reasons that baffle any sense of reality, it is a serious gesture on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to encourage President Obama to nominate Rep. Jackson Lee as a replacement for outgoing-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.”

"In 1998, for example, she was accustomed to having an aide drive her daily, in a government-leased car, back and forth between her Capitol Hill apartment and her congressional office one block away. One day she told a staffer who had failed to reserve a limousine: “You don't understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen!”"
A disgrace to any race.
DeleteIf this administration were a book it would be a work of fiction... No one could possibly believe it's true.
ReplyDeleteShe is a racist, plain and simple. And not a very smart one at that.
There was a time, in this country, when the President and others in positions of responsibility wanted to put the absolute best qualified people in such important positions... Are they telling us that DHS is a sham and that it isn't really all that important?
