Black lawmakers pitched a hissy fit and stormed out of the Georgia House on Friday claiming that white Republicans’ decision to delay a resolution honoring President Barack Obama had racist overtones. (Gasp)
They say it’s an intentional snub to the nation’s first black president. “It drips with racism,” Democrat Representative Al Williams said. “I call it just like it is.”

This from the state that gave us Cynthia McKinney. Thanks, people.
I wouldn’t bestow that title on a white politician, green politician or polka dot politician.
It’s just a lame attempt by the black caucus to bully the GOP into making Obama worship formal.
What the hell? Why are you wasting tax payers dollars to get some stupid honor when the man isn’t even into his third month?
Next thing you know, every MLK Jr. Blvd in Atlanta will be replaced with Barack Obama Blvd.
I guess they didn’t hear about Obama’s “closed press” event with the black newspapers the other day...
Kudos to the GA Republicans for not rolling over on this.
Exactly what has 0bama done so far?
Other than being the first guy elected President while being “black”...
Actually, I think they will rip ALL highways and create a single highway for America. They will Call it “Highway The One.”
Why is this a surprise. Any time you question “the One” it’s not politics it’s racism! We saw it during the campaign and we’ll see for the next four to God forbid eight years.
I’ve had it with the Racist Statements-grow up Black Politicians.... ENOUGH!!!!!!
You mean “ Thanks Peepole”
Barrack Obama will do more to hurt the cause of black political power than all the whites and blacks with integrity have done to further the it.
You mean some republicans somewhere actually showed guts and honor?? My God. It must be a misprint.
Amen! There just aren’t many politicians (ESPECIALLY the LIFERS!) who would fit the description they want to bestow on the “O”. Can’t we RECALL some of these idiots?
Wow, our downward spiral into the totalitarian world continues. The adoration art, the signing of Obama loyalty pledges, legislative resolutions praising the character and honesty of Obama.
F^&K Obama.
Black lawmakers yo tame iz up ding.
I find it interesting that they had the word ‘unimpeachable’ in his description. What do they know that the public does not yet know?
The most racist black people in the world live in Atlanta.
Well you're half right and he's half white !!
