Just two weeks after Janet Napolitano announced her resignation as Secretary of Homeland Security, the Congressional Black Caucus has suggested Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston fill her spot.
A letter dated July 25 and signed by Rep. Marcia Fudge, Ohio Democrat and caucus chairwoman, urges President Obama to consider Miss Jackson Lee for the position, calling the Democrat a voice of reason that the agency could stand to gain, the Houston Chronicle reported. Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security, the letter reads. Mrs. Jackson Lee currently serves as a ranking member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, a position that the caucus said she stands as a strong and honest voice of reason.

Michael Berry, talkshow host, just had a caller on his radio show who told this story.
A guy and his wife were eating in a restaurant when Shelia Jackson Lee came in with her entourage. One of her people came over and told the couple that they would have to move because SJL’s group needed their table.
They had already been served and were eating their meal so they made no move to leave their table. then Queen Shelia came over and announced she was a congress person and they would HAVE to move.
Then the restaurant manager came and said they have to move and he picked up their food and moved it to another table. the man said his wife didn't want to make a fuss, so he went along with it.
Michael Berry was incredulous and told the guy that he was what was wrong with the Republican party!

I would have taken particular pride to loudly tell Queen Sheila and the manager where to stick the damned food! It isn’t every day that I would have a chance to remind a public servant who pays their bills.

"...she will put her foot in her mouth so much there will be no doubt about the incompetency of this administration."Or about the disparity of I.Q. between the races. Remember this is the same black woman who said I stand here as a freed slave because this Congress came together.

You’ve gotta be $hitting me! I guess the next thing we can expect is a re-write of the National Anthem by Jay Z and Beyonce. God help us!

S.J. Lee is on no way fit for such a post let alone that she is in congress making a mockery of that body. Just another hyphenated American who cares not a whit for her country, only a few of her race.

We're all suffering from the
"Peter Principle" as people try to dump Sheila Jackson Lee off on some other group.
