Sheila Jackson Lee is Way Too Predictable

Can the race card survive at a depth of almost $15 trillion in the hole? Texas Rep. Sheila “Two Vietnams” Jackson Lee proves the answer to that is a definite “yes”:

“I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness [toward] this president,” said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “Why is he different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully? Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Why did the leader of the Senate continually talk about his job is to bring the president down to make sure he is unelected?”

Earlier in her speech, Jackson Lee said Obama has been targeted unlike any other president.

“I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president — only this one, only this one — has received the kind of attacks and disagreement and inability to work, only this one,” said Jackson Lee from the House floor.

“Read between the lines,” she continued.

And all this time I thought opposition to raising the debt ceiling might have something to do with the fact that Obama’s record so far on deficit spending is making even Bush look like a piker. I stand corrected.

But Jackson Lee’s frustration stems from the obvious: Democrats treated George W. Bush with great respect, always gave him the benefit of the doubt, didn’t block his appointments and always supported his requests to raise the debt ceiling, so she only wants Republicans to return the favor now that Obama is president.

Five years ago, Senator Obama said “America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. America deserves better.” Now, when people agree with Obama’s statement, Sheila Jackson Lee insinuates that they’re racists? Color me confused.

I see Jackson-Lee and think to myself “what cartoon character has more sense than she: Why of course it’s got to be Mr. Hanky, the Christmas Poo!

“Hi dee ho, neighbor!”

He knows of what he’s made, but Jackasson-Lee is so ignorant, she doesn’t realize she’s full of the same material, and just about as useful.

I loathe that she’s from Houston. She is an embarrassment to the rest of us.

“Muss I die?” she asks.

Senility crept in a long time ago and set up shop between her ears.
