Jackson-Obama flap heats up as Jesse issues a denial

. Barack Obama’s campaign gave a swift response Wednesday to comments that the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson was said to have made to The New York Post over Obama’s foreign policy plans. The Post reported that Jackson said that an Obama White House would no longer be friendly to Israel. John McCain’s campaign seized on the remarks to suggest that his Democratic opponent would not be a strong supporter of Israel if elected president, while Jackson issued a statement saying he had been misquoted and his comments distorted.  The Obama campaign has furiously denied the charge and said it will continue to support Israel. Read his statement here.

Jessie , Please stop giving interviews about Obama, in case you have not notice, you are not an Obama insider and can not speak for him. PLEASE STOP.



Mr. D Said on

Hey Jesse, I know you probably mean well, but actually, everytime you open your mouth regarding Obama, nothing positive seems to come out. It’s almost like you’re hating on the “brother?” As my parents (especially mom) use to say, “if you can’t say something nice about someone, just say nothing at all?”

Jesse Jackson is a washed up individual who is obviously jealous of Obama for whatever reason(s) He needs to sit back & look at his life & all the things he’s done in his past & get over it. It’s a new day & time & he’s already had his, so in essense Jesse Please shut up & enjoy your life.



Mr. Man Said on

If Jesse in fact said these things he truly needs to shut up & keep his opinions to himself, he doesn’t speak for Barack nor does he have anything to do with his campaign. Mr. Jackson appears to be jealous for whatever reason(s) for Baracks success. He had his time & like now his mouth got him in trouble, he needs to sit down & enjoy life because his time has come & gone & it’s a new day & time & his out of date touch & style have passed like a fart in the wind.

I just don’t understand how anyone INCLUDING Jessie Jackson, and Jeremiah Write and ANYONE ELSE who has come forward with “information” regarding Obama, feels like they’re “helping”. You guys are sabotaging his campaign and giving white America and the media another reason to laugh at Us. If we can’t even get our minds right collectively as a people, why would they elect one of us to govern the COUNTRY? I cringe every time I get news like this because Obama has a chance. A GOOD chance, he just doesn’t need this type of flack around his name, and not to mention he really doesn’t need to be associated at all with Rev. Jackson, because he’s not too high up on ANYBODY’S list before we even mention white America. Black people gon’t even like this guy! No more SABOTAGE, leave Obama alone PLEASE!!!!!!

Then again maybe he IS jealous…he did try to run for President remember? I dont even think I was old enough to vote then, but I still wouldn’t have. Who cares if he’s Black. Jesse Jackson could not succesfully govern the United States of America. He didn’t have a chance then, and he’s making it harder for the guy who DOES NOW.
