According to Jackson, a Fox News microphone picked up comments he meant to deliver privately that seemed to disparage the presumptive Democratic nominee for appearing to lecture the black community on morality.
"For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize," Jackson said in a statement issued to CNN. "My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment."

There can be only one “Walkin Boss”!
You Go Boy!
Wolf Blitzer just said they cannot even replay what he said on the air.
“According to Jackson, a Fox News microphone picked up comments he meant to deliver privately that seemed to disparage the presumptive Democratic nominee for appearing to lecture the black community on morality.”
The black community NEEDS to be lectured on morality.
Oh, puke. On so many levels.
Don’t take away our midnight basketball!
Knowing that jerk it was too racist to repeat I bet.
Jesse is probably expressing his hate that Obama may end his race pimping career.
You know it must be bad if the MSM is already airing the apology ahead of the quote... which they can’t quote.
What did he say?
"They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it," Obama said then.
"You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled — doubled — since we were children. We know the statistics: that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison," he also said.
"My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility," Jackson also said.
This from a "reverend" who embezzled charity money to pay child support payments for an illegitimate child from an affair.
WHAT DID HE SAY????????? Can’t find it anywhere because the liberals are hiding it.

“...Wolf Blitzer just said they cannot even replay what he said on the air...”
Hmmmm, somehow methinks that wouldn’t be true had it been some white guy that uttered it about the Obamaloon.
Agreed.
But that isn’t the side that JJ is on. He’s on the “perpetuating the grievances of the black man” side.
It’s the side that his bread is buttered on.
According to the other thread on this, JJ said he’d like to rip Obama’s nuts off.
