Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem for the Roman census. Joseph being of the lineage of David had to go to Bethlehem to be counted. The little town was crowded and as we all know, there was no room in the inn.
It was God's plan that Jesus be born in a stable, and not Rome's economic policies.
If Jesse Jackson was half the "reverend" he claimed to be, he would be telling the truth and furthering the Gospel accordingly.

He's really not interested in the truth, and the Gospel is just a tool to be used to achieve his evil ends.
