Race card in Obama seat selection?

Posted by AWB in Politics

Okay, they say we need at least one. Let’s play the race card folks.

Race enters fight over filling Obama’s Senate seat

WASHINGTON (AP) – A House Democrat is daring Senate leaders to block a black man from taking President-elect Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat.

Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois points out that Roland Burris would be the only black man in a chamber populated overwhelmingly by white senators.

Bobby Rush is an ass. I thought Obama was black? How about we pick the person best qualified to fill the position and forget about their race?

Senate Democratic leaders earlier Tuesday added an explicit note of support for Burris personally, but not for his appointment by the embattled governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich. The leaders said the Democratic caucus would refuse to seat Burris if Blagojevich appoints him, and called their stance a reflection of the scandal-tainted governor.

Burris is 71 years old. That’s today’s 60, or something like that. Personally I’d like to see the senate filled with some younger people.

On another note, why is it they have the Congressional Black Caucus? God help us if the whiteys tried to start the Congressional White Caucus.
