Leader of Black Socialist Caucus Says Debt Deal Is a “A Sugar-Coated Satan Sandwich”

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.”

“sugar-coated Satan sandwich.”

I must have missed that food vendor at the last county fair.

Man, they are really pissed. The black democrat socialists really wanted to stick it to the man!

What they cared about most was raising taxes on all the rich white people!

Gee, the leader of the Black Socialist caucus is upset. Well, I’m upset there’s even such a thing as a Black Socialist caucus in a country that was built by free enterprise and capitalism. And if Emanuel Cleaver doesn’t like it, he should try Cuba.

“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?”

Cleaver is a United Methodist pastor for what that’s worth. And, oddly enough, was a big Hillary supporter which got him an Uncle Tom label.

Satan Sandwich? Cleaver’s sermons (if he ever gives them I didn’t know he was a Pastor) must be fun.

My money says that republican leaders are not being honest and we will find the tax increases AFTER it is passed..

Yup, and obummercare is still alive. That is the largest tax increase ever, and will redistribute more wealth than ever.

According to Chris Plante (radio talk-show host in Wash, DC) Cleaver is also the congressman that accused a Tea Party supporter of spitting on him at a rally.

Remember that incident?

The interesting thing is that it is “A Sugar-Coated Satan Sandwich” more for the conservatives than for the liberals.

...the congressman that accused a Tea Party supporter of spitting on him...

Yea, and people like Sharpton et al are still mentioning it like it really happened.

Breitbart offered 100 G's to anyone that had a video that proved that.

And there were multiple cameras and cell phones documenting when the dems decided to walk the gauntlet among the tea party types (instead of using their underground tunnel.)

No one tried to collect, so you know it was a big lie.

It fits in with the liberal tactic that it's not if something is true or not, it's the fact that the charge is horrible.

PS: With your prompting, I remember the facts exactly as you posted. My recall of the facts aren’t as good as yours, but I should have searched and posted a link to those subsequent facts because they are so incriminating and speak directly to the character of the man:

I haven’t the slightest clue as to what “Satan Sandwich” means. What the hell are they talking about?
