Jesse Jackson: Back off Obama and solve some problems
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 8/17/10 | Jesse Jackson

Posted on 08/17/2010 12:58:32 PM PDT by truthandlife

merican politics isn't beanbag. It is rough, bare-knuckled and often dirty. In today's 24/7 media environment, attack ads are remembered, and the truth has a hard time catching up with a lie. We now have entire TV networks that are essentially ideological propaganda outlets. With Republicans consolidated as the party of white sanctuary, anchored in the South, and Democrats championing diversity and inclusion, the politics of race is accentuated.

But given all that, have we ever witnessed anything like the unrelenting assault on Barack Obama? "Birther" nonsense is believed by some 40 percent of Republicans. Staggering numbers think he's a Muslim. National Republican leaders denounce his "socialist" agenda. When the first lady takes a vacation with her daughters, it's a scandal. Senior senators embarrass themselves by endorsing the big lie of "death panels" in the health care bill. Republicans openly decided that they would obstruct virtually everything the president tried to do. Zero votes for financial reform in the House. Zero votes for the recovery act. Zero votes for health care reform. Judicial and governmental nominees blocked for months by senatorial "holds" grounded on nothing but wanting to obstruct the operation of the government. Now every major vote is met with a filibuster, in numbers we've never seen before, rendering the Senate virtually dysfunctional.

Compared to the attacks the Left made on W, this is nothing more than Obama getting a good feather dusting.

Yes, we need advice from a pathological liar, a poverty pimp, and corporate shake down artist.

If the MSM attacked Obama as it did and still does Bush, Obama’s approval rating would be at 20%

Evidently, the Jesse Jackson who wrote this piece is 2 years old. Not bad writing for a two-year-old.

Back Off Boogaloo
Ringo Starr

Back off Boogaloo
I said
back off Boogaloo
Come on
back off Boogaloo
Boo.

What d’yer think you’re gonna do
I gotta flash right from the start.
Wake up meat head don’t pretend that.
You are dead get yourself up off the cart.
Get yourself together now
and give me something tasty.
Everything you try to do
you it sure sound wasted.

Back off Boogaloo
I said
back off Boogaloo.
You think you’re groove
standing there in your wallpaper shoes
and your socks that match your eyes.

Back off Boogaloo
I said
back off Boogaloo.
Come on
back off Boogaloo.

Debt is the problem for the economy, but 0bama loves debt.
0bamacare is the problem with healthcare now, but that was 0bama’s idea, too.

Seems like 0bama *is* the problem!

Democrats championing reverse discrimination, tokenism, lower standards, incompetence, illiteracy and ignorance.

Of which Jesse Jackson is their poster boy

Looks like the wheels of the community organizing, race hustling bus are coming off. Everyone is fully aware of what sleazy punks both of these dopes are and that genie isn’t going back in the bottle. This is happening despite the Repubs and their weak messaging. .

Keep speakin out, Jesse. As unpopular nationally as you are, you’ll get your way and “cut Obama’s nuts off” one way or the other.

Shut up Jesse and go back to the 60s. Rev. Fat Al is America’s favorite racebaiter now!

RE :”But given all that, have we ever witnessed anything like the unrelenting assault on Barack Obama?

Not at all a Bush fan at all BUT Obama got the endless honeymoon compared to Bush, especially Bush's second term. Even his first term there was Dan Rather and the CBS National Guard memo. Then there was the 9-11 Kerry 'Jersey Girl' democrats screaming at Condi during the 9-11 hearings.

Democrats have no shame.
