Jesse Jackson is already owned by the Clintons.
ML/NJ
That pretty much says it all. Jackson and Sharpton are opportunists and are looking solely to enhance their own power and prestige. If Obama were to get the the nomination they would be licking his boots.
I would not promise Jackson and Sharpton anything either. Hell I may even consider Obama for that decision.
[he hasn’t promised them anything yet in return for their support.]
Sure sounds like BLACKmail to me.
“WHY aren’t the nation’s two most prominent civil-rights leaders enthusiastically supporting Barack Obama?”
Why support the competition?
The race would forever be removed from their hustlers deck if Obama were to win the nomination. They can’t have that happen.
Oprah can’t help with jessiwhatsinitformejackson or almoneytalkssharpton.......Oprah appeals to white women and so does Obama....and don’t forget joebiden’s assertion that Obamarama is a “clean” black man........both these figures - Oprah and Obamaramdrama draw in the whites not the blacks.......it would appear that they are hesitant to make hillarycanklesclinton the first BLACK woman president as well. Tough to be jessie/al this year.
This is the reason why Hillary is suddenly on strong defense against Obama; Oprah will really open the eyes of that huge electorate called women. If she can pull some of that group her way toward Obama, Hillary might be in real trouble and she knows it. The primary season is warming up on both sides, and it will be very, very dirty due to the closeness of the races...
If these two flim flam artists back a black candidate, that puts them lower on the totem pole. It’s better for them when they can go to DC and confront “the man.”
Give it time; we’ll see how desperate Barack “Hussein” Obama gets as the race tightens. The two best street hustlin’ “Reverends” are just biding their time waiting for the next shakedown of Corporate America or some other such media event.
