Race-Based Politics? Congressional Black Caucus Member: "If Obama Wasn't President, We Would Be Marching on the White House"Scotty Starnes | September 19, 2011 at 10:30 AM | Tags: black unemployment, CBC, Congressional Black Caucus, President Obama, race based politics, Rep.

Need more proof that Democrats are the party of true racists? Here it is.
From The Hill:
Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus "probably would be marching on the White House" if Obama were not president, according to CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).
"If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House," Cleaver told "The Miami Herald" in comments published Sunday. "There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president."
Translation: If this was a White President the CBC would be marching on the White House. Since it's Obama, and they share the same skin color, the CBC will continue to make excuses for his failures.
CBC members have expressed concern in recent months as the unemployment rate has continued to rise amongst African-Americans, pushing for Obama to do more to address the needs of vulnerable communities.
Rise? It's above Depression-era levels, yet the CBC covers for Obama's failures instead of protecting their constituents.
"We're supportive of the president, but we getting tired, y'all," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said in August. "We want to give [Obama] every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don't know what the strategy is."
Rather than targeting Obama's leadership, many CBC members aimed their fire at the Tea Party movement over the summer's congressional recess. Waters said in a public meeting in her district that the Tea Party "can go straight to hell." Another member, Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), called the Tea Party "the real enemy" seeking to hold Congress "hostage."
Need more proof that the Democrats, and the CBC, are the real racists?
