Congressional Black Caucus Reportedly Told to Keep Quiet Regarding Opposition to Obama on Syria
The Blaze ^ | 9/5/2013 | Becket Adams

The situation in Syria has grown increasingly complicated for President Barack Obama and his party, raising serious questions about the White House’s credibility on foreign affairs and forcing Democrat lawmakers to choose sides on the controversial issue.

AP.

And public statements made in opposition to the president’s proposal have prompted the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to ask that its members “limit public comment” on the situation until they have been briefed by White House officials, The Cable reports.

A CBC aide in an interview referred to the request as “eyebrow-raising,” adding that it “was designed to quiet dissent while shoring up support for President Obama’s Syria strategy.”

So it has come to this? CBC lawmakers have been asked to keep quiet on the president’s proposed plan to intervene in Syria until the White House has had a chance to sell them on the idea?

White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice is scheduled to address the CBC on Monday. The group’s support will be crucial if President Obama wants to secure congressional approval for military strikes in Syria.

Hey Boehner, tell the DEMOCRATS to VOTE FIRST so YOU STUPID RINO's don't give them coverage for voting AGAINST it!

“Congressional Black Caucus Reportedly Told to Keep Quiet...”


If that is indeed true, at least it will cut down some on the astronomically stupid things said for a little bit.
