Guys like this can't be the problem can they? No it's much better to blame the Black congressional Caucus.:

Washington Mutual CEO Alan H. Fishman, who only worked at the bank for 17 days before its collapse, and will receive roughly $20 million in compensation

Are you going to explain to Barack Obama that he isn't an African American?

I would love to!  And I'll bet he'd listen and we'd have a good talk.

Odds are, based on his knowledge and experience, that he'd agree.

J.C. Watts didn't join the CBC.

Gary Franks was kept out of CBC meetings

Previously a link between the CBC and Republican President George H. W. Bush, Franks lost power within the caucus. Several members objected to Franks’s attendance at the caucus’s strategy sessions, insisting that he was a mole for the Republicans, and the CBC unofficially ejected Franks from these meetings

From your own source: J.C. Watts is a rare breed, a black Republican, the first elected from a southern state in over 120 years. Instead of joining the Congressional Black Caucus (obviously primarily Democratic in nature)

Did I miss where it said in either link it was an only democratic organization?

Love the sub-headline of that article, Emery: "Nobody will be spared, unless they own gold bars"

Okay, I will ask again, what is the Black Caucus? Do they sit apart from the others or do they have a special role? Do other groups have something similar?
