CBC dislikes Jarrett's message

Asked if the White House would consider replacing any of its choices, Jarrett’s answer was a terse, “No.”

The message was not well received. CBC members have criticized the nominees who they say champion policies that discriminate against minorities.

Georgia Rep. David Scott (D), said he approached Jarrett about two nominees in particular: one who once supported a state bill to keep the Confederate battle emblem a part of Georgia’s flag, and another who led the defense of the state’s photo ID law, which Scott claims is a statute designed “to keep black folks, as much as possible, from voting.”

“I asked her specifically that they should be [withdrawn]. She just didn’t say anything,” said Scott, who did not attend the briefing on nominees but was present at a later meeting with Jarrett and the full CBC.

Whenever I see these types of articles, I can’t help but picture the Canadian Broadcast Company being the offended party. It just doesn’t work.

LOL......... LOL......LOL....... WHAT you question her authority? SHE is the one who said “I will reward those that helped get O elected and I will seek revenge on those who opposed”. ohhhhhhhh wait. Could that be Gibson Guitar? Could that be Ben Carson? Could that be The Tea Party folks.

Need I go on? Seems like they have nothing to lose now and they are pushing forward with every wretched socialist idea they want. No coal for you. No doctors or hospitals for you!

And that prayer breakfast this AM. Gag me with all his FAKE references to God the Almighty.

Why do blacks worry about not being able to vote? Their districts have been drawn so that the candidate and his wife can vote for himself and win by one vote.

Wiki says Val’s parents were African American but she doesn’t look “authentically black” to me.
No wonder she’s not on the team.

I love articles like this - a glimpse into a world where the Obama Administration is not leftwing enough, not pandering to minorities enough.

But then reality creeps back in...

As Jarrett was meeting with the CBC, the White House announced the nomination of five new judicial nominees, including two women, one Hispanic and an openly gay African-American....

Heh...David Scott is a race baiting liberal from the get go.... He doesn’t like the voter ID because then it is harder to stuff the ballot box

I don't see much AA in VaJajay either. But the strain of reptiles is strong in her.

If an alien just landed and viewed this photo, who would he think was the boss.

The CBC are all chumps and Jarrett knows it. They aren’t going to oppose Obama. They’re just making noise.

Good for the CBC! What this country needs is a few more Clarence Thomas’s on the federal bench.
