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.

Zero votes for financial reform in the House. He sure did. Zero votes for the recovery act. He did that too. Zero votes for health care reform....and that was his cuop de gras 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. To be fair, Zero wasn't the only demonrat who did this but I'll give it to him.

Perfect synopsis of Zero's last year in the senate.

Jesse Jackson (Al Sharpton, et. al.) are gasoline on Obama’s fire. Burn baby, burn!

"have we ever witnessed anything like the unrelenting assault on Barack Obama? "

Can anyone in their right might possibly ask that question with a straight face after the past several years of the pure insanity of Bush Derangement Syndrome???

Talk about ludicrous!

"...Senior senators embarrass themselves by endorsing the big lie of "death panels"
[actually: this was the truth. A different title, of course - but functionally speaking they are "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
[being US Constitution hating, and family hating, political hacks is bit more than "nothing"]
but wanting to obstruct the operation of the government....

Say, when did the anti-Reverend start making commercials for the Republicans?
I wish they were as effective as he tries to make them out to be - but Jesse certainly tries to give them more credit than they deserve.
And of course he ignores the fact that the godless Communist party (AKA, the Democrats) intentionally inflame racial and economic divisions as part and parcel of their political movement...

Hey Jackass!

All the problems in the US are caused by RATS, like you. Come November we plan on fixing that problem.

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

And the crying would be non-stop from the Party of Whine and Sleaze.

“Birther nonsense”?

Oh that’s just rich. Prove it’s nonsense.

Let’s see the Birth Certificate he found among his mother’s belongings in 1995, upon her passing.

...have we ever witnessed anything like the unrelenting assault on Barack Obama? - Jesse Jackson (shakedown arist/ race hustler).

Jackson clearly fails to see the bitter irony of this ridiculous whine when for eight straight years, the MSM and leftist operatives like Jackson mercilessly pounded George W. Bush, who, most of the time, was doing something right. Classic dish-it-out-but-can't-take-it liberal crybaby. Boo Hoo, Jesse. Boo Hoo.

You got your socialist messiah and he's failing, big-time. Man up and stop your whining...and trying to 'blame Bush'. It's just pathetic.

This sounds like an attack ad by the Democrat Party filter through a safe spokesperson.

I wonder how much he gets paid for printing things under his name?

The first lady takes “a” vacation??? How about several, and all of them extravagant. Moochelle’s trip to Spain with 40 of her “closest friends” cost more in one day than most Americans make in a year. Jackson is such a liar.

“Staggering numbers think he’s a Muslim”

Well dang sure ain’t a Christian. A duffer, who takes mulligans, due a nasty tendency to pull left and a moslem for sure.

Lest he spend time with the Boyscouts, hold the National Day of Prayer and actually make time for church.

I guarantee you his total sympathies are with the moslems.

And look up the correct historical way to spell moslem.

muslim is a political name.

What happened? Did someone on FOX News say something horrible about the President, like that they wanted to “cut his nuts out”?

Not surprising, especially since it’ll be located in “Hymietown”
