President Barack Obama has faced the most obstruction of any American president, the Rev. Jesse Jackson tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview.
Republicans said their first objective was not to build the economy, not to provide healthcare but to defeat him; make him a one-term president, Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, tells Newsmax. So youve got ideological attacks.
Congressmen have called him a liar from the well of the Congress. Theyve argued about his birth place, his birth certificate, his religion.
These obstructionist, ugly attacks have not been good for the country, Jackson added. They may have been some peoples short-term pleasure, but its been long-term pain for the country. So he has had to climb a steeper hill facing rocks.
Hes done so with amazing dignity and a low sense of retaliation and thats the good news. I hope in the next session of Congress, we will get beyond this one-term, destroy-the-president-at-all-costs mentality. Its not good for the nation.
Jackson, who sought the Democratic nomination for president in 1984 and 1988, said that Obamas policies were not to blame for the near-doubling from 26 million in 2006 to 47 million currently of Americans now on food stamps...

So, Jesse.. would your wanting to castrate Obama be good for the nation?
Did you forget what face to wear?
So should we “Stay Out’da Bushes” Jesse??
Jesse, shouldn’t you be helping your depressed, bi-polar, philandering, criminal son instead of worrying about politics?
The day America decides it’s not okay to criticize our leaders is they day we’ll sit back and watch a Muslim Kenyan Marxist call himself Presid... oh... wait.
“Rev. Jesse Jackson to Newsmax: Attacks on Obama Not Good for the Nation”
I literally laughed out loud! IIRC, Jerkson is the one who threatened to “cut Obama’s nuts off!”
These obstructionist, ugly attacks have not been good for the country, Jackson added.
So, MR. Jackson, how about we talk about the 8 years of obstructionism democrats engaged during President Bush's two terms???
Cute!
Jesse Jackson is not good for the country.
Verbal and media assaults on Obama are wonderful. Just as wonderful are verbal attacks on Jackson, the illegitimate father of a daughter. The difference is, Jesse Jackson is the bastard in this matter.
If that is true, then we have a dictatorship instead of a Constitutional republic, and the present federal government has to be overthrown in its entirety. Now.
If Jesse wants to trade overreactions, I can do it, too.
The fact that he NEEDS to be “attacked” is even worse for the Nation.
He makes a case against having blacks in elected office.
