Republicans Put Steele ‘On A Leash’
According to Politico.com Republican Party Chair Micheal Steele does not know his place.
The political website reports a heated meeting took place between Steele and some of the Republican leadership in Congress in which Steele was told to keep his nose out of public policy and focus on fundraising.
To make it plain, he “was placed on a short leash, ” according to a Republican aide who was at the meeting.
Steele, the former Lt. Governor of Maryland is the first African-American to run the Republican National Committee.
Political bloggers at BlackVoices are not surprised at all about the way Republicans treat Steele.
Matter of fact there has been rumbling at the start by some GOP officials that Steele will be removed from office if the GOP does not do well in the 2010 elections.
The FreshXpress blog asks if Steele a classic example of when “keepin’ it token goes wrong,” or is he a competent politician who is simply being undermined by his own party?
Pretty good question to ask.
