How Many Americans Believe This?

From Real Clear Politics:
Dem Congresswoman Brings Obama's Race Into Debt Ceiling Fight


Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) used the race card this afternoon to assess blame in the debt ceiling fight. Jackson Lee, a black Congresswoman, believes the disagreement over raising the debt ceiling is because of President Obama's race.

I bet 25-30% without even checking (on their part for veracity or mine for poll results)

Always On Watch,

She thinks that the only reason that Obama is getting disrespected is because of his race? Again, how did Obama get elected in the first place?

I have to agree with Damien.

She is a professional grievance nurturer, like Rosie O'Donnell, and AN OUTRIGHT FUCKING LIAR.

Oh, and....
Daily Caller:
A lot of politicians give nicknames to their aides. George W. Bush famously referred to his attorney general, Alberto Gonzalez, as “Fredo.” Mitch Daniels, then head of the Office of Management and Budget, was known as “The Blade.” Barack Obama reportedly called Larry Summers, his chief economic advisor, “Dr. Kevorkian.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas also hands out nicknames to the people who work for her. The Houston Democrat addressed one of her employees as “you stupid motherfucker.” And not just once, but “constantly,” recalls the staffer, “like, all the time.”

Another Jackson Lee aide recounts the time her parents came to Washington to visit: “They were really excited to come to the congressional office. They’re small town people, so for them it was a huge deal. They were actually sitting in the main lobby waiting area….[Jackson Lee] came out screaming at me over a scheduling change. Called me a ’stupid idiot. Don’t be a moron, you foolish girl’ and actually did this in front of my parents, of all things.”

Yet another staffer remembers requesting a meeting early on in her tenure to ask how best to serve the congresswoman. Jackson Lee’s response: “What? What did you say to me? Who are you, the Congresswoman? You haven’t been elected. You don’t set up meetings with me! I tell you! You know what? You are the most unprofessional person I have ever met in my life.” With that, Jackson Lee hung up the phone.

According to the same staffer, Jackson Lee “would always say, ‘What am I a prostitute? Am I your prostitute? You can’t prostitute me.’”

Yeah, Ciccio. Don't call her a nigger. Call her a festering, puss-filled, dripping, sloppy old cunt.

Ciccio, I kinda agree with Damien unless you're Black of course.
Then you would deserve some kind of artistic/musical award.
