Ga. House Republicans Block Obama Honor March 19, 2009 wsbtv.com ATLANTA -- The Georgia House voted against approving a resolution that would have honored President Barack Obama and praised him for being a politician with an "unimpeachable reputation for integrity, vision and passion." The 70-68 vote Thursday infuriated members of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, who designed the proposal to make him an honorary member of the group. State Rep. Keith Heard, D-Athens, said "it makes you wonder what exactly is going on in Georgia." The measure was blocked by a group of House Republicans, including state Rep. Austin Scott of Tifton. Scott objected to wording in the resolution that he said suggested the entire House approved of the president's actions.
