The Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) urged President Obama on Saturday to sidestep Congress and hike the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit on his own.

I love how the journalist had to clarify the DEMOCRAT members of the CBC did this--noting at the end that the only CONSTITUTIONALIST among the group, Allen West of Florida, did NOT endorse the action.

Actually I think I read the other day that the ‘leader’ of this group is John Conyers.
He put us here.

Conyers has been reelected 22 times, never facing serious opposition.

Sorry, I was wrong. Conyers is part of this group but apparently Clyburn is the ‘leader’. What the heck is wrong with the voters that they keep electing these people?
