Congressional Black Caucus Anticipates Greater Power

Here's a surge the left can believe in:

The 41-member Congressional Black Caucus, which often describes itself as the “conscience of the Congress”, is anticipating a power surge next week as one of its former members takes the oath of office as president of the United States. “As I stand here today, I can tell you with certainty that these 41 members of the Congressional Black Caucus recognizes that this is our moment,” said U. S. Rep. Barbara Lee, the new chairwoman of the 40-year-old caucus at the group’s ceremonial swearing in last week.

Silly people! Don't they know Obama is "post-racial"? What makes the Congressional Black Caucus think its power will be increased by a totally impartial, color-blind president?

Sen. Barack Obama served as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus with a consistent record of 100 percent on the NAACP Civil Rights report card.

Uh-oh ...
