Clyburn: Obama's Too Busy to Bother With Debt Ceiling Negotiations, Or Something

Meanwhile, the bozo has plenty of time for fundraisers, including three tonight in New York City.

Clyburn's comments here are particularly lame. When asked by Neil Cavuto why Obama isn't more involved in the debt ceiling negotiations, Clyburn says that no, he is involved - then immediately proceeds to make excuses for why he's not involved.

Huh?

Clyburn: Palin 'Seems Not to Be Able to Understand What's Going on Here'

Good grief, don't these people know when to shut up?

A House Democratic leader on Wednesday lashed out at Sarah Palin, accusing the former Alaska governor of being intellectually unable of understanding why she's faced criticism related to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said that Palin had missed the point by releasing a statement this morning blasting the media for "blood libel" for looking to assign blame in part to her rhetoric after the attempted assassination of Giffords last weekend.

"You know, Sarah Palin just can't seem to get it, on any front. I think she's an attractive person, she is articulate," Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show. "But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what's going on here."

No doubt the feminists will be up in arms about this. Oh, yes, she's a pretty girl, now run along and let the intellectuals handle this..."

Could you imagine a Republican getting away with such a condescending, sexist remark? No, neither can I. But Clyburn will get a free pass. He's got that protective coating of melanin that allows him to just scream "Raaaacist"! if you criticize him.

So Palin's an idiot, but he' some towering intellect, huh?

This insulting and demeaning rhetoric from the Democrats has to stop. There's one sure way it can: The president can tell his party to knock it off. The fact he hasn't for four days now speaks for itself.

Here We Go: Minority Broadcasters Seek Bailout

When you can't compete in business, you usually go belly-up. But when you're an arm of the Democrat Party you look to Lord Obama for a bailout.

It's bad enough we're funding the far left NPR.

A group of minority broadcasters asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner Monday for financial assistance akin to the aid that has been extended to the financial and auto industries.

"Minority-owned broadcasters are close to becoming an extinct species," the letter said. "Even in better economic times, minority broadcasters have historically had difficulties accessing the capital markets."

The broadcasters told Mr. Geithner they can bounce back if they are given some temporary assistance while the credit markets are slow. "Unlike the auto business, broadcasting has been healthy for many years," their letter said.

The broadcasters appeal follows a proposal sent in May to Mr. Geithner by a group of influential House members asking for a minority broadcaster support program, bridge funding, or government-backed loans.

The House letter was signed by House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) and a group of key committee chairmen, including Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.) Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D., N.Y.) and Oversight Committee Chairman Edolphus Towns, (D., N.Y.).

That list should tell more than enough that this is a terrible idea. Which means they'll probably be swimming in taxpayer dough before long.
