Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s mother, Jacqueline Jackson, told a Rainbow/PUSH conference Friday that her son has suffered years of “enormous disappointment.”
“I’m not ashamed to say ... he thought he was going to be a senator. He thought he was going to have a chance to run for mayor. And young people don’t bounce back from disappointments like me and my husband" she said. . . .

All Whitey’s fault.
Starting with his father.
Boo Freakin Hoo!!!! Maybe he can go to work for his daddy blackmailing corporations.
Wow, this kind of conjures and completes the ultimate “full circle” image of the “entitlement” society with the notion that Congress thinks it is entitled to our earnings in the form of its power to impose taxes and restrict our freedoms.
Too easy
He thought he was going to be a senator. He thought he was going to have a chance to run for mayor.
BOO HOO!! He thought this way because he grew up ENTITLED and to believe that he would get everything he wanted due to his daddy and his race. Life is tough for those who haven’t put in the blood, sweat and tears to justify what they have already received due to entitlement. I have no sympathy for this type of person.
Yep Dad and Obama didn’t give him the Senate seat
Mom, Dad, maybe you were too “Rainbow/PUSHY” with a son that simply doesn’t have the “left” stuff?
“Cry me a river.”
Said river and the consequential flooding will, of course, be blamed on AGW.
Reminds me of a song.
Poor Poor Pitiful Me.
He shoulda bought Obama's seat from Blago. Blago went to jail, but poor Jr is falling apart anyway.
Hey I’ve had to live through almost four years of non stop disappointment under Obama, don’t see me doing crack
He’s making $150K/yr...PLUS PERKS...and he’s a victim???? I’ve never made anything close to that and I fell pretty lucky.Good God...where’s my violin....I need to play a sad,sad tune.
Jesse Jr’s mom: (weep, sniff, weep, sniff) “Don’t hate my boy — he had it hard! Bambi and Blago done promised him that Senate seat! They done PROMISED! Don’t hate my boy for wanting what was rightfully HIS!”
Just think how disappointed many of us are about the outcome. Thanks Charlemagne on the Fox.
Why couldn’t he have tried, like anyone else? Are we supposed to just give it to him because he’s black and thinks he deserves it because he wants it?
It sounds like they are talking about a six year-old kid.
And how did he expect to get to be a senator, hmmm? I think that little deal might be part of his problem.
This statement by mom is priceless .. at last we have at least ONE voice that states, "This guy is certifiably incapable of being in a political office." (and of course the undertone is ... someone else put him there)
Demonrats ... your time has come and your chickens have come home to roost
IIRC, Jr. tried to buy the senate seat from Obama outright, but ran when corruption was exposed.
ValJar was involved too.
