Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that congressional opposition to the American Jobs Act is akin to the Confederate “states in rebellion.”
Jackson called for full government employment of the 15 million unemployed and said that Obama should “declare a national emergency” and take “extra-constitutional” action “administratively” — without the approval of Congress — to tackle unemployment.
“I hope the president continues to exercise extraordinary constitutional means, based on the history of Congresses that have been in rebellion in the past,” Jackson said. “He’s looking administratively for ways to advance the causes of the American people, because this Congress is completely dysfunctional.”
“President Obama tends to idealize — and rightfully so — Abraham Lincoln, who looked at states in rebellion and he made a judgment that the government of the United States, while the states are in rebellion, still had an obligation to function,” Jackson told TheDC at his Capitol Hill office on Wednesday.

Please try it Obambi...
...please. I dare you
No Problemo Jesse Jr...... as long as you and your papa write the check for it.
This guy must have been the result of one of Jesse Sr. less bright mistresses. One can’t adequately describe this degree of stupid but I’ll try. He couldn’t pour pee out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the sole.
That pesky constitution again. Why don’t they just get rid of it? Obama knows what to do, these constitutional constraints are racist.
All this sudden urgency to create jobs from the democrats. obama’s been in office 3 years and just started waving his jobs bill in our faces three weeks ago. The POS has no credibility when it comes to jobs.
Jackson jr is a complete idiot and should be arrested for fomenting rebellion. Oh wait. He’s not a white guy living in Montana.
One is left with the impression that Mr. Jackson was simply searching for the most incredibly stupid thing he could possibly say in front of a microphone.
How about just ABANDONING MARXISM!!
Where’s my Budweiser franchise ?
Isn’t Barack Hugo Obama already doing this?

Stunning. Or, stuning. Or, both.
The idiot doesn’t fall far from the fool.

Why not use a "double-secret probation" too?
I'd say Jr. is a bozo but that leaves out the people who voted for him.
We needs us a crisis to save us from da man! /s/
Does this mean Jackson no longer wishes to mutilate Obama?
Obambi testing the waters again I see.
