Jesse Jackson’s son was on a Chicago radio station just this morning talking about president Obama. The host had to step in and say, “Uh, they haven’t had the election yet.”

This whole Obama thing is like a soap opera.The post-racial campaign continues. Is Obama going to sentence Jackson to a necklacing.

Translation: BO failed to blame all the problems of the black community on someone else and it's cutting into JJ's shakedown racket. Exactly. Plus it will be hard to keep pretending that he's the leader for Black people. Blechh. A self-appointed one.
To: Snurple
I know; I was also thinking “nipples” or even “nose” but not “nuts.”
Nutz to the “nuts.”

Jackson is pissed that this young upstart has stolen his position as #1 race pimp.
To: kristinn
Jackson doesn’t want black males to assume responsibility because then they might realize they don’t need the gov’t and Jackson is all about big gov’t
To: library user
Oh it’s better than good and all the better that it was caught on a Fox microphone.

If that is all he said, then the problem is not in what he said, but that he disparaged the profit Obama.
JJ has said much worse stuff in the past than this.

That would be my guess as well. This may be Obama's "Sister Souljah" movement. He has been markedly moving away from leftist stances recently, showing respect for military field commanders, sounding like Bill Cosby in haranguing against irresponsibility among African Americans, and voting for FISA today. He may be more adept as such maneuvering than John Kerry, Al Gore, and Michael Dukakis were. Exactly. Obama gets to come off as a good guy by letting the slight pass, as well as getting to amplify his black personal responsibility thing which is just part of his phony move to the right. Blacks will still vote for him, but his could get some white voters.
Jackson, for his part, comes off looking like the defender of black people -- fighting tooth and nail at any offense to their dignity.
Obama wins. Jackson wins.
To: library user
I'm playing "Devil's Advocate" here..........
Is there any way that this is merely some planned propaganda focused at the "Reagan Democrats" who are not planning to vote for Obama because he is too divisive and has disparaged their way of life? Is this a scheme to make it appear that Obama is mainstream and not on the fringe?
Thoughts either way?

To: djsherin
Isnt Jesse Jackson a rabid socialist? No. Jackson is a rabid hustler and devout money grubber and he's pissed that Obama has replaced him as 'the chosen one.' That's going to be bad for his shake down business.

This will likely help Obama. He will get 95% of the black vote no matter what, and a little spat with Jesse will probably be looked at positively by independents and soft Republicans.
Maybe a coordinated effort.
