VIDEO

Before a TV interview began with Reid Tuckson from the United Healthcare Group, Rev. Jesse Jackson's microphone was live and caught Jackson commenting that Obama "talks down to black people". Jackson also said he wanted to cut out a particular part of Obama's anatomy.

This seems orchestrated. Liberal blogs are saying this was to make Obama sympathetic, change today's conversation about the following negative Obama headlines:

Deflect from FISA - his on-line base was up in arms today...

Obama: “Your Children Should Learn To Speak Spanish”
- Fool doesn't even speak Spanish himself. Bro - you're embarrassing because you're a hypocrite. Not a good sound bite for Obama today.

And Hussein wanted this headline removed immediately -
Obama Allows Interview with Daughters Ages 10 & 7

Obama regrets putting children on TV.

Drudge not only removed this last headline about his regret, you can't find it in the archives, try searching for it...Hmmmm, very interesting.

It appears Obama was thrown off course today and panicked. They must have a list strategic head line grabbing scenes in order to take the heat off Obama. Wonder if they had planned on using the JJackson false critique so early???

Shame on Drudge...and Obama thinks he'll be able to handle the War on Terror through PR? He can't handle ANY criticism.

Excellent points- I forgot about his “Spanish” comments. But you’re right, it could be a way to divert attention from Obama’s recent mishaps. Oddly enough, for some reason, I think these “Jesse Jackson” comments will be the beginning of the end for Obama.

Obama can't handle criticism which is one of the worst character traits in a President.

The primary job of a President is to protect our Nation. George W Bush, less than 9 months in to his Presidency faced the worst declaration of War on US soil in our history.

We are at war, because a segment of the Muslim faith hates us. They are willing to die in order to kill us in the 21st century. Buddhists and Hindus didn't kill over 3000 Americans. Radical Muslims did. And they still want to. They are trying to tear down our freedom, economy and prosperous way of life because they are jealous. They are envious. And the Extremists believe in a false religion which mandates that they kill non-Muslims.

George W Bush had to lead our VOLUNTEER armed forces to defend our freedom. He's faced criticism unlike any sitting President has faced in our lifetime. But he takes it. He doesn't care if he's unpopular, because he knows the leftist are on the wrong side. Notice how Africa recently welcomed him with open arms. Europe is on our side again.

Bush's primary responsibility is to defend our freedom and his mandate to protect our nation.

Obama is too immature and unable to handle any criticism. It's never been more apparent in how he's running his campaign. When Obama’s campaign hears a criticism, they film a new political ad to counter their critics. Instead of Obama standing up his leftist ideals, he lies about his policy. That's why he's called a flip-flopper.

Hussein doesn't have the character, integrity, nor love for The United States of America, to stand against those that want to destroy our free and prosperous way of life.

Hussein's non-stop flip-flopping will continue all the way to November. His flip-flopping continues to reinforce that he can't handle criticism. Deep down, he's not a man of conviction, but rather an insecure boy whose father left him before he was 1 years old.

"It’s not as “important” when a politician/religious/charity leader says “cut his nuts off” about the first minority presidential nominee as when a former comedian from Seinfeld is at a comedy club and says the N-word a whole bunch of times to some hecklers."

Just try to imagine the thermonuclear firestorm in the MSM if Don Imus said it..... or KARL ROVE!! Here's a perfect case of double-standards, Jesse will skate with a quick, simple apology because "we know he's a good guy" (says the biased MSM to themselves) while they would crucify Imus or, heaven forbid, any Republican who said the same words.

“O’REILLY: ‘We held back some of this conversation... we didn’t feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening.
We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard’...”


no, jessie is embarrassing himself...

The {cough} 'reverend' jackson said things worse than he wants to cut off someone's nuts??... & you don't think it should be aired?

Cut the spin ... air the rest of the interview. Let’s hear it ... WE decide!

Yes, what ever happened to WE Report...YOU Decide?

Clever of OReilly. Signals Jackson he has more. Sword of Damocles if say Sharpton does an Imus on OReilly.
