except for Obama doesn't believe in personal responsibility for blacks or whites. He is fully in love with the gravy train. Just listen to Obama’s spiritual mentors to understand that. Google “Black Liberation Theology”, which is what his spiritual mentors (his words) teaches and you will see this (although by your tagline I know you already know this). This sounds like Kerry's “these guys are the biggest bunch of liars” remark.

You make a good point.

>.I mean if Jesse doesn’t like him he must be ok, right?

Exactly. That’s why I am skeptical, to say the least.

A better issue for media bubblebrains to focus on would be Barry’s support for the Bush Republican electronic intercept strategy.

That’s far bigger and more important than comments by some hasbeen.

LMAO at that screenshot!!

[Bitsy]

WHAT DID HE SAY????????? Can’t find it anywhere because the liberals are hiding it.

Don’t worry it will be found!

Is there room under Obama’s bus for Jesse Jackson?

[normy]

Obama has been “doing the people's work” in Chicago for 20 years right? Maybe there are some of the wonderful speeches about personal responsibility he had given back in the old days to his voters.

Jesse's comments posted on Drudge:

_My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility.

Bush's Fault Blacks Make Poor Choices!

Seems like it might be a ploy to seperate Obama from the poverty pimps.

Obama’s Sista Soldier moment.

The KosKids are loving this.... saying this helps Obama. I agree....

[weegee]

It only helps Obama if he throws Jesse under the bus.

The next 24 hours will be “interesting”.

[lonevoice]

I’d pay good money for a Pay Per View of the event. Jesse could make a wallet out of ‘em and give it to Hillary.

[weegee]

So how did Bush’s policies get Jesse to make the wrong choices when he sired a child with a woman on staff and funded her baby with stolen donations?

[rovenstinez]

Okay...NOW...please, after this tape is played can we ALL just drop the REVEREND from the title of Jesse Jackson..PLEASE.

[normy]

Well it may be fitting since the Bible says God has set first in the Church, apostles, secondarily Prophets, thirdly Pastors, teachers and evangelists. I didn't see “reverend” anywhere on that list.

[mass55th]

I guess this means Jesse won’t be speaking at the convention.

[weegee]

Sharpton may sell his “Reverend” to Jesse. Al will just assume another title.

[weegee]

I’m sure he can find a microphone on one of the stages outside the DNC convention if he wants it.

[Fox_Mulder77]

It only helps Obama if he throws Jesse under the bus

BWAHAHAHA!! Now, I'd pay to see that!!
