Poor sod has absolutely no bearing on reality!!!
Listen here porky....Obama doesnt want this to go away.. Matter of fact i want it to stay longer..
Sharpton may want it to go away and rightly so. They are buddies with Jesse.
And in all fairness. If i am not mistaken Jesse Jackson did apologize when the comments came out. Comment which he made thinking that they would never be made public.
On the other hand Imus attacks innocent sports women in college, and leading by example, doing what they are supposed to do. Every thing right. Imus attacks them for no good reason over public radio broadcast across the nation. He wanted these insults to be heard by every one in the audience. And after, it took the rat bastard weeks to apologize.. All the while trying to claim he was making some other idiotic joke!!!
Which ever way you put it, your argument is once again bogus. Believe me you, even i want this to stay longer because it cast Obama in a great light and keeps his name in the paper while the John Mcc-no-nuts camp is going around calling Americans whiners!!!!
BEAUTIFUL...just freaking perfect!!!
Jackson's `Crude' Remarks May Give Boost to Obama Jonathan D. Salant

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- The Reverend Jesse Jackson's derogatory comments about Barack Obama could provide a boost for the presumptive Democratic nominee, giving him an opportunity to win over some voters who have been skeptical of his candidacy.

Jackson was appearing on Fox News on July 6 when a microphone picked up his remark suggesting that Obama was ``talking down to black people'' in recent speeches at black churches, according to a tape of the comments played on Bill O'Reilly's show on the Fox News Channel.
He then said, referring to Obama, ``I want to cut his nuts off,'' according to the Fox News Web site. At the time, he was speaking to Reed Tuckson, executive vice president and chief medical officer of United Health Group Inc.
Jackson, 66, apologized for his remarks, telling CNN yesterday that they were ``crude.'' The comments may turn out to help Obama by emphasizing his call for personal responsibility, a favorite topic of Republicans, said Mark Rozell, a professor of public policy at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia.
``It reinforces Obama's effort to present himself as an advocate of responsible personal behavior, a position that Republican candidates like to secure as uniquely their own,'' Rozell said.
The Illinois senator, who in August stands to be the first minority candidate to be nominated for president by a major political party, spent Father's Day last month at one of Chicago's largest black churches telling the audience that they should set better examples for their children and shouldn't abandon them.
`Any Fool'
``Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father,'' Obama, 46, said at the Apostolic Church of God, which has more than 20,000 members. ``Too many fathers are AWOL, missing from too many lives and too many homes.''
Jackson's comments help Obama in other ways as well, said Steffen Schmidt, a professor of political science at Iowa State University in Ames.
``This helps Obama make the case that he is not a `black' leader but just a Democratic candidate for president,'' Schmidt said. ``Cynics are asking if Jackson made this comment on purpose to help Obama.''
Jackson, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988, said he didn't know the microphone was on when he commented on Obama's speeches.
`I Offer Apologies'
``Anything I said in a hot-mic statement that's interpreted as a distraction, I offer apologies for that,'' Jackson said at a news conference yesterday after his remarks became public.
``I have supported Barack's campaign with passion from the very beginning. I thought the very idea made sense,'' Jackson said. ``We've been there all the way, because I think this campaign is a redemptive moment for America and a great opportunity to redefine America.''
Jackson told CNN that his criticism about Obama was that he ``comes down as speaking down to black people.'' He said Obama should also be talking in the black community about issues like health care, jobs and justice.
``That's a range of issues on the menu,'' he said. ``Then I said something I regret was crude.''
Jackson's comments were criticized by his son, Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., an Illinois Democrat and a national co-chairman of Obama's presidential campaign.
``I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric,'' the lawmaker said in a statement. ``He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself.''
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Obama ``will continue to speak out about our responsibilities to ourselves and each other, and he of course accepts Reverend Jackson's apology.''
He should do more than just forgive Jackson, said David Schultz, a professor in the graduate school of management at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
``Obama should give Jackson and O'Reilly an award for helping his campaign with white voters,'' Schultz said.

You do know that Imus and his Show recited the exact same words from The Spike Lee Movie School Daze ?
It's a Spike Lee Thing. Yeah he picked on Collegiate ladies.
But how come nothing is said about Spike Lee from REV AL.
And Obama chimed in on this Imus thing too. Didn't Obama know these words came from Spike Lee's movie.
LOOK IT UP !
Why does Imus have to answer to the extorionist Rev Al and not Spike Lee????
Do you think the troll even realizes I've never said one bad word about Barack Obama and /or the Democratic party with respect to this issue?
Do you think the troll realizes I said I liked the fact that BO said there are too many fathers MIA?
Do you think the troll realizes I was critical of JJ for making such statement and Al Sharpton for being a hypocrite, that's it?
The disciple of Mrs Mims doesn't think Al Sharpron is being a hypocrite and he defends victim hood mentality, that's were we disagree.
You can never figure that out reading his childish gibberish.
