Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.
"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.

Where was she during Bush's 8 years? Bush was actually compared to a monkey and had signs made about him wishing for his death, not to mention all the figurative mud slung at him during his eight years. Granted some of that mud slinging was right on. But Obama is the one who has it rough? Seems to me it comes with being president. Skin color isn't an issue until idiots like this make it an issue.
