Rep. Jesse Jackson owes us an explanation
Chicago Sun Times ^ | July 7, 2012 | PHIL KADNER

Posted on 07/07/2012 5:46:27 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

............Since June 10, he has been suffering from “exhaustion” according to his staff and has been unable to fulfill his duties as a representative.

In an update on his condition, his press spokesman this week issued a news release stating:

“Congressman Jackson’s medical condition is more serious than we thought and initially believed. Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time.

“At present, he is undergoing further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient facility. According to the preliminary diagnosis from his doctors, Congressman Jackson will need to receive extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment thereafter.”

Jackson’s congressional staff and family have refused to release any further details about his medical condition, or where he is being treated. A source told me Jackson had been unable to sleep for an extended period of time. I was also told that he is not being treated in the Chicago metropolitan area.

And even some of his closest staff members, I have been informed, have not been in contact with him.

Jackson, who is also the focus of a congressional ethics investigation, has been under constant emotional and mental pressure for three years.

Speculation about his condition and whereabouts is widespread but senseless because nobody who really knows anything is talking.

But the congressman’s family owes the people who have supported Jackson, the voters, more detail.

The statement that his condition is worse than originally thought and the news that he will need extended medical treatment later raise legitimate questions about his ability to represent his district during another term.............

I think the dope he is suffering from is JJ, Sr...

No surprise that the son of a self-important, selfish, serial womanizer, shake-down artist who wears $3000 Brioni suits while “his people” are unemployed and killing each other would have some “physical and emotional problems”.

Voters need to cut the boy some slack. He's not a teenager anymore and his girlfriend is wearing him out.

He’s expected to WORK. No wonder he’s exhausted.

“they” most likely have baby JJ dead to rights and he decides to go NUTS. Next he’ll be wearin’ a bathrobe and P-ing in the street.

It’s an Illinois tradition.

The only real difference between JJJr and Baraq is that Baraq controls the Justice Dept.

Earlier story (link was removed from Post #1) -- ?

June 26, 2012 Jesse Jackson Jr. takes medical leave for exhaustion ...."Asked why Jackson's office waited two weeks to tell his constituents about his absence, spokesman Frank Watkins told the Tribune that the lack of disclosure was a "family request."

I'm sure if it were a Republican, the media wouldn't question his status, and would respect his privacy just as they are doing with Jesse Jackson Jr.

(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

How much is Obama paying him to step aside? Who is he running against in November? What committee was he on? More importantly, what did he do to Valerie Jarrett?
