President Barack Obama is getting an earful from Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Marcia L. Fudge, for not picking African-Americans to his cabinet. On Monday, Fudge released a letter slamming Obama, the first black president for a lack of diversity among his closest advisers.
“The people you have chosen to appoint in this new term have hardly been reflective of this country’s diversity,” the Ohio Democrat said in the March 11 letter.
Fudge adds that CBC members’ offices have received phone calls from angry constituents questioning why Obama hasn’t nominated anyone with the ability “to speak to the unique needs of African Americans. Their ire is compounded by the overwhelming support you’ve received from the African American community.”
“complaining about social snubs” – seriously?
