This sounds like good news...The leader of the Black Socialist Caucus says the debt deal is a “sugar-coated Satan sandwich.” That must mean it is a much better deal than we had hoped for.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver is the current leader of the Black Caucus (without black Republican members)
Roll Call reported:
President Barack Obama’s rightward lurch to reach a $3 trillion deficit reduction deal with no guarantee of additional revenues had liberals fuming and Republicans all but declaring victory Sunday afternoon.
With time running out to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling before Tuesday’s default deadline, Obama moved dramatically in the direction of the GOP, according to Senators and aides in both parties...
...Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said early reports of the new deal appeared to be “a sugar-coated Satan sandwich.” The Missouri Democrat said the CBC hadn’t yet made a formal declaration that the group would oppose it, “but this is a shady bill.”
“This deal trades people’s livelihoods for the votes of a few unappeasable right-wing radicals, and I will not support it,” ripped Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, before House Democrats had even been briefed. “The lesson today is that Republicans can hold their breath long enough to get what they want.”
Well, at least some good is coming out of this devil’s bargain. Obama’s homies don’t like it.
Don’t be fooled by a socialist.
They always bitch like it’s the end of the effing world whenever the slightest thing doesn’t go in their favor.
It’s out of the Marx/Lenin handbook. It is just an attempt to get the other side off guard by saying they got skunked.
Someone must have forgotten to tell Emanuel Cleaver the Section 8 housing vouchers, cab fares, untraceable cell phones, Hi-def TV’s, WIC cards and welfare checks will be sent to his constituents as usual.
Oh this is great. Emanuel is head of the Black Socialist Caucus, but Raul here is the poster boy for the Communist Party!
I'd say we won!
The picture on Posting #6 is very amusing.
Don’t worry Black Socialist, Obama got his 2.+ debt ceiling raise. He’ll have plenty more “stash” to hand out to Holder’s folk. Obama is not worried about revenues because he has no intention of paying it back anyway. He got what he wanted, more money to hand out to loyal voters and to recruit more new voters.
Sugar Coated Satan Sandwich would make a great name for a rock band ($1 to Dave Barry)
Do socialists even believe in Satan at all? Maybe Black socialists (like Irish socialists a century and more ago) have special permission to retain their religious beliefs?
Bingo. Trot out the raving nutters to puff and bluster, and people like the author of this piece will be fooled into thinking the good guys won something.
Bah. There are no deals with Democrats. They break every agreement, every time, all the time. Whatever it’s claimed was agreed, they might as well have said they were all going to ride a rocket to Mars and start building their beach houses. It’s all lies, always lies.
Rep. Cleaver says we can’t be messin with Obama’s stash.
That’s all kinds of awesome. I’m stealing that.
Defund thieves and scam artists that are operating to extract payments, assets and mistresses.
Satan?!? What a pathetic excuse of a socialist.
Thanks SanFranDan.
The Miracle Whip sends mixed messages
Translation: Thanks to the Tea Party, my lazy constituents are actually going to have to work for money. We'll have to cut their freebies, the things they have a "right" to have.
That’s a Satanic mayo coated Spam sandwich.
A horse of a different color.
