Congressional Black Caucus recommends Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security Secretary

Hannah Jeffrey

Conservative bloggers went wild Monday when they got wind of the Congressional Black Caucus’ suggestion that President Obama pick Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston for the post of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Rich Cooper, avid blogger for Security Debrief, responded to the news of the Jackson Lee recommendation in a post by saying, “Apparently, it is not a joke. For reasons that baffle any sense of reality, it is a serious gesture on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to encourage President Obama to nominate Rep. Jackson Lee as a replacement for outgoing-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.”

A letter dated July 25 and signed by CBC Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge, an Ohio Democrat, urges President Barack Obama to consider Jackson Lee for the position formerly held by Janet Napolitano, the first woman to hold the position. Napolitano resigned earlier this month to become president of the University of California.

“Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security,” the nomination letter reads.

All joking aside, you remember that lil statement from Obammy about “We need a civilian defense force, just as strong, just as well funded...”

Imagine the NBPP and the Fruit of Islam being the commanders of it...

“Congressional Black Caucus recommends Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security “

Sure. Give her an office on Mars, next to the Lunar Lander and let her protect her homeland.

I have a feeling that shemight have been an affirmative action student...probably passed along regardless of grades—but that’s just a guess.

Her big concern a couple of weeks ago was that tropical storms/hurricanes don’t have “black-sounding names.”

She’s not qualified or smart enough to wear the Chuck-E-Cheese costume.

She got by in school the same way BO and the Mooch did. They had to pass the affirmative action diversity students. This is true because we have never seen their grades. I can’t believe she went to Yale. What an embarrassment for Yale.
