GOP opposes amnesty ‘because Obama is black’

Gowdy blasts witness for accusation of racial motive

WASHINGTON –
U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., vehemently scolded a congressional witness for suggesting Republicans opposed President Obama’s amnesty order because he is black.

In an answer to a question from a Democrat earlier in the Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on the legality of Obama’s amnesty order, Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, claimed Congress is treating Obama differently than other presidents because he is the first black chief executive.

When it came time for his questioning, Gowdy asked Hincapie, “You suggested race was the basis for why we may have this constitutional perspective; did I understand you correctly?”

When her response rambled, Gowdy interjected, “For you to run to race as the explanation for why we hold the position that we do … Harry Reid had a very different perspective on recess appointments when there was a Texan in the White House and none of us accused him of geographic discrimination.”

I'm so sick of hearing that the negative outcome of anything is because someone is black. I see black guys trying to pick up white girls at clubs quite often. When the girls decline the next line usually consists in the form of the famous question. "What? You don't like black guys? You must be racist girl".

LOl! What do you expect. Anyone who voted and supports Obama has an IQ down in the moron/imbecile/idiot range. Of course they are going to say it's because Obama's black. They are too stupid to see and comprehend the ramifications of this amnesty order. Remember it was Obama's own architect of the health care bill and fellow democrat who said Obama voters were stupid.
