“The Big Enchilada!”
That's how a spokesman for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee described the endorsement that came the Democratic congresswoman's way Saturday afternoon. No, it wasn't from a senator or labor union, as important as those endorsements may be to the incumbent from the 18th Congressional district. This one, it turns out, was the biggest enchilada.
“Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is a tireless champion for Houston's working families,” President Barack Obama said in a statement released by the Jackson Lee campaign. “That's why we need her back in Congress to help my efforts to bring real jobs back to Houston and the nation.”
What must make the president's words especially galling to Jackson Lee's challengers, City Council member Jarvis Johnson and local lawyer Sean Roberts, is that they challenged Jackson Lee in the first place in part because of her steadfast support of Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential race.

I wasn’t expecting him to endorse John Faulk. It’s interesting that Queen Sheila is even bothering to get Obama’s endorsement.

These safe districts for elected black incompetents like Lee have to go. Certainly there are many competent blacks who would prevail against people like Lee in a redrawn district.

Enchilada = Red on the outside, yellow on the inside.
