REV. JESSE JACKSON APOLOGIZES TO SEN. BARACK OBAMA FOR 'CRUDE AND HURTFUL COMMENTS' CAUGHT BY OPEN MIC... DEVELOPING...

Maybe he was caught singing “Barack the Magic Negro”.

[B Knotts]

This may be Obama's "Sister Souljah" movement.

Exactly right. This is likely no accident.

[Locomotive Breath]

BHO should just be flattered that someone actually thinks he has a pair.

Well he does but Michelle has them in a lockbox she borrowed from Al Gore.

I wouldn't put it past either of those tools to orchestrate some phony "incident." They're both from Chicago. I've never heard that they're buds, but who knows? It'll be interesting to see what he said.

I have to hear what Jesse actually said, but it certainly smells like a set-up.

"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.

He’s “angry” with Obama for demanding personal responsibility. Which makes Obama look tough on freeloaders and deadbeat dads, but gives him the cover for his appeals for massive increases in government spending on “black communities” since Jackson’s already said he’s not doing enough in that area.

Of course, it will look like less of a setup if Jackson calls him some nice nasty names, ones with bite.

ROFLMAO!!

RUSH WILL HAVE FUN TOMORROW!!

Busy night ahead for "the white comedian".

“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 said in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon.

Remember that The Reverendddddddd Jackson was spiritual adviser to the First Black President, as they shared a common issue -- sexual indiscretion.

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.”

That's funny -- I saw an article a day or two ago that did the same thing, presuming Obama would win. There was a sentence that said something like, "After Obama becomes President" or some kind of bs like that.

[Jen from Tn.]

what happened with his kids?

[JFC]

Barack is now signing letters............. Barry!

I guess our Barack H. Obama picks his name... and flips and flops as the polls blows.

[Americanwolf]

I will put money on it being something close to that

[Jaded]

C’mon. Obamessiah gets elected Jesse ain’t got a job.

Hillary Won't Be for States' Rights When She's "President Again"

The qoute from Jesse is “Obama is cutting off his nuts with blacks”. While hilarious, I don’t see what is so terrible about this as CNN is claiming.

[milwguy]

I thought that at first, but I think in net it will hurt Obama, depending on what Jackson said. To those on the fence about Obama, Jackosn’s comments may help confirm their suspicions about him, for if a ‘friend’ like the Rev ‘Poverty Pimp’ Jackson thinks so little of the Messiah, then there must be a reason.

[RetSignman]

Can you blame him for his frustration, if obamer is elected president, Jackson and the rest of the race baiting bro’s are going to out of jobs.

[N. Theknow]

Did his apology follow the normal guidelines for liberal apologies?

"If anyone was offended by what I said that was taken entirely out of context, I am sorry about that and will clarify my remarks."

[tirednvirginia]

Is that all there is to it? Is this tape suppose to hurt JJ or Obama or both?

Is this the tape we were expecting last month?

This from a "reverend" who embezzled charity money to pay child support payments for an illegitimate child from an affair.
