Honor to Obama Splits Ga. House
21st March 2009
Two dozen black lawmakers angrily stalked out of the Georgia House on Friday amid assertions that a decision by white Republican leaders to delay passage of a resolution honoring President Obama had racist overtones.
House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R) said the proposal to make Obama an honorary member of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus required changes to its language and sent it to a committee. Supporters of the resolution said the move was a snub to the nation’s first black president.
So legality doesn’t matter when it stands in the way of the Half-Blood Prince being honored. Henry VIII would be right on board with that.
Let’s just see how much more efficient that legislature can be without two dozen race-obsessed politicians. But of course that’s an experiment that will never be tried.
