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.

OTOH, could she be worse than Big Sis?
vaudine
Whoa, that's a tough call! :o)
Now THAT’S funny!
Um,hammers, soap, & rocks are all useful items.Do I win a prize?????
All joking aside, you remember that lil statement from Obammy about “We need a civilian defense force, just as strong, just as well funded...”
Imagine the NBPP and the Fruit of Islam being the commanders of it...
When? when? when do we stand and fight?
“Congressional Black Caucus recommends Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security “
Sure. Give her an office on Mars, next to the Lunar Lander and let her protect her homeland.
but I just looked her up and she graduated Yale with a Law Degree, and was a Judge????? as I stated..UNBELIEVABLE.
Could she have bought that Degree and that position? ya think?
and married to a Doctor...whew
I have a feeling that shemight have been an affirmative action student...probably passed along regardless of grades—but that’s just a guess.
Definitely don’t want that affect.
Her big concern a couple of weeks ago was that tropical storms/hurricanes don’t have “black-sounding names.”
from Big Sis! to What Dis?
(snicker)
Shes not qualified or smart enough to wear the Chuck-E-Cheese costume.
OMG is that for real?
She got by in school the same way BO and the Mooch did. They had to pass the affirmative action diversity students. This is true because we have never seen their grades. I can’t believe she went to Yale. What an embarrassment for Yale.
