Congressional Black Caucus recommends Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security Secretary

Hannah Jeffrey

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.”

A letter dated July 25 and signed by CBC Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge, an Ohio Democrat, urges President Barack Obama to consider Jackson Lee for the position formerly held by Janet Napolitano, the first woman to hold the position. Napolitano resigned earlier this month to become president of the University of California.

“Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security,” the nomination letter reads.

They may have a point. If you put her mug on the border fences that should scare the hell out of the illegals from entering the country.

I look forward to press conferences with her as the HS Director and the soundbites that will generate. So does Joe Biden.

What is scary (?) is that she graduated from Yale and then from the University of Virginia Law School.

What does it say about our schools of higher learning.....

Congressional Black Caucus is (by definition) a racist organization.

I don't pay much attention to the suggestions of racists.

To see this play out just watch the 2006 film titled “Idiocracy”.Setting earth ©2500 AD. Social justice had played its course and the average guy of today is a genius there. President Dwayne Elizando Camacho’s the elected US president ( qualifications,five time smackdown champ and porn star).
His Secretary appointees....just enjoy this is only a movie.

This is true. That aside I propose the the phrase "bag of skillets" might be adopted as more appropriate for some circumstances, in lieu of hammers.

I actually watched a few minutes of “Idiocracy” on cable not too long ago. I say a few minutes because I turned it off out of concern that my own IQ might be compromised! :)

It’s quite obviously a racist nomination. After all a racist organization like the CBC nominates one of its own race?

“Congressional Black Caucus recommends Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security Secretary” yes but ONLY because Angela Davis turned them down.
