WASHINGTON -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson has joined black lawmakers in their push to get the White House to do more to directly help African-American communities disproportionately hurt by the nation's severe economic recession.

Mr. Jackson, who lamented that he was not invited to President Barack Obama's recent jobs summit, said he has requested a meeting with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to talk about economic aid for depressed minority communities. No meeting has been set.

Andre didn't need jesse lobbying osamaobama for a "black jobs initiative", he has his own initiative.

You're right!! Sadly, Andre sounds like the exception, NOT the rule!!
