What do you make of Jesse Jackson's comments about Obama?

Question

A few days ago, Jesse Jackson thought the microphone was off and made some rather ugly comments regarding Barrack Obama. Of course, Jesse has since apologized and has tried to backpedal.

What I want to know is what do you make of the fact that Jesse Jackson was saying some pretty serious negative stuff about Obama?

Answer 1

He knew the mic was on. He is trying to get back into the light just like any entertainer does. Messy Jackson is a Joke always been a joke and always will be. He can't draw flies to sh_t.

Answer 2

Nothing.  Jackson is a putz and a crook.  Jackson was shooting his mouth off and got busted.  End of story.

Answer 3

well I guess they can't blame these problems on the white people.  They need to pick themselves up and fix the problems on their own.

Answer 4

Nothing.  Who listens to Jackson?

Answer 5

It's like this: Jesse Jackson said something stupid. So, what's new?

Answer 6

As a Nobamanite I must say it makes you think higher of Obama to know Jesse Jackson detests him.

Answer 7

I think it's funny. Other than that, makes no difference to me.

Answer 8

sheer entertainment that will control the media for a week and will be thought of nothing after, i mean come on! typical jackson.  funny though. oh and joebob it's more like the lesser of two evils, hating eachother for their rightful spot as alphadog.

Answer 9

I THINK THEY ARE BOTH A COUPLE OF IDIOTS.  AT LEAST THEY CAN'T ACCUSE EACH OTHER OF RACISM.  IT WAS ENTERTAINING!!!

Answer 10

Very Evil

On top of getting caught having an affair a few years back

Now he comes out of his hole and says a very sick statement

thinking he was off camera

I'm glad he got caught  

He represents so many reverends and pastors  

he is suppose to be a leader

Answer 11

I don't pay attention to stuff like that.  I'll vote how I want... I don't care about what anyone says but the candidates themselves.  Why should Jesse Jackson's opinion change my opinion?  Especially when he doesn't have anything intelligent to say?

Answer 12

I think nothing of it.

Jesse Jackson might be rev. and everything but he has multiple children to diferent women and has done nothin for black people than have a few marhces so he failed blacks along time ago, so he need be the one to say Obamas is talkin down to black people.

Obama was tellin the truth and about the lack of fatehr figures and its not just black people because its liek that for whites as well but black more commonly.

Nobody is listening to Jesse.

Answer 13

Your association of Jackson to Obama only stigmatizes and invalidates people of color. This is a common ploy of the media - to portray blacks, Latinos, etc. in a disingenuous manner, such

as airing blacks with questionable backgrounds and then associating them with the person in question.

It keeps society at large from accepting them as equals.

Please resist this form of racism.
