Congressional Black Caucus Reportedly Told to Keep Quiet Regarding Opposition to Obama on Syria
The Blaze ^ | 9/5/2013 | Becket Adams

Posted on 09/05/2013 11:59:58 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

The situation in Syria has grown increasingly complicated for President Barack Obama and his party, raising serious questions about the White House’s credibility on foreign affairs and forcing Democrat lawmakers to choose sides on the controversial issue.

AP.

And public statements made in opposition to the president’s proposal have prompted the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to ask that its members “limit public comment” on the situation until they have been briefed by White House officials, The Cable reports.

A CBC aide in an interview referred to the request as “eyebrow-raising,” adding that it “was designed to quiet dissent while shoring up support for President Obama’s Syria strategy.”

So it has come to this? CBC lawmakers have been asked to keep quiet on the president’s proposed plan to intervene in Syria until the White House has had a chance to sell them on the idea?

White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice is scheduled to address the CBC on Monday. The group’s support will be crucial if President Obama wants to secure congressional approval for military strikes in Syria.

“REINSTATE THE DRAFT!”

Amazes me. Blacks know there is something very wrong with the way they are treated. The issue is many blacks, especially in the inner cities blame white Republicans or whites in general for their lack of success and the feeling they have that possibly they are still under someone’s thumb. Maybe at some point they will wake up and realize that it is the liberals, the very people they think are helping them- and their so called black leadership that is responsible for many of their major problems. I doubt they will wake up, and suspect that is why a blind eye is turned to the horrific numbers of black addicts, and the completely failed schools most black children attend- easier to fool them if their brain is a little foggy and/or their education is minimal.

To the CBC: Welcome to the Plantation.

NO Independent thinking allowed.

NO speaking until you're told what to say.

Racism is a business, a profitable one at that. As long as it remains so blacks will never rise above where they are now.

“Congressional Black Caucus Reportedly Told to Keep Quiet...”

If that is indeed true, at least it will cut down some on the astronomically stupid things said for a little bit.

Like maybe we are bombing Mars.

Wait--I have a good idea. Have all the rebels stand on one side of Syria. The country will flip over and all the bad guys will die.

The plantation -owning Democrats told their “field workers” to keep their mouths shut, and the last words that were uttered before complying were “Yessuh, Massa.”

What a bunch of racists the Democrats are.

That’s because they KNOW their members are too dumb to remember the talking points. They figure it was better to tell them to just shut up rather than trying to run around cleaning up messes from these morons. Think Hank “Guam will tip into the ocean” Johnson. Would you trust that nitwit to get the story straight?

Bush had “Shock and Awe”. Obama has “Shuck and Jive” for his campaign title.

“Yessah, massa. I’s say what’s ever you wonts me to says.” What these charlatans do to their own people is sickening. They’re all racists against their own race. And none of them wants “blacks” to live next door to them.

They didn’t have to be told, they’re on the plantation, or more accurately, keeping house on the plantation.

Thanks sheikdetailfeather.
