Her cult-like devotion to Dear Leader is unquestionable.

(The Hill) — Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) defended President Obama’s fiery speech at a Congressional Black Caucus dinner Saturday.

Wasserman Schultz said she was at the event and that the president’s call for his African-American supporters to “stop complaining” and fight was met with “thunderous applause.”

Speaking on CBS News’s Face the Nation, the congresswoman praised the president’s call to action. “President Obama has appealed to the Congressional Black Caucus and the attendees last night to close ranks, stand behind him, press on to make sure that we can continue to push for things like passage of the American Jobs Act,” she said.

“The crowd at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Gala understands that the president has brought us from the brink of disaster where Republicans, under George W. Bush, had brought us to the precipice of economic disaster,” said Wasserman Schultz. Obama had taken the country “to now a point where we have the beginning of a turn-around,” she added.
