Bye Bye, Jesse

With unemployment at 10.2%, what will happen by the end of Obama's first term?



It’s no wonder Rev. Jesse Jackson wants to neuter Barack Obama -- after all, that’s exactly what Obama has done to him.

He may be apologizing for his remarks, claiming lamely that he didn’t know there was a live microphone eavesdropping on what he said, but he meant exactly what he was overheard saying because that’s exactly what he’d like to do.

In his mind, he has every reason to want to take a cutting knife to Obama’s private parts in retribution for his own public loss of manhood at Obama’s hands.

Thanks to the ascendency of Barack Obama, Jesse’s long reign as THE Black leader -- a position he more or less shared with the Rev. Al Sharpton all these years -- has finally come to an end. He’s been dethroned by, and lost his political manhood to, an upstart politician barely dry behind the ears but clever beyond his years.

Jesse has long been the self-appointed leader of black America, a race baiter who has used race baiting to feather his own nest, bludgeoning cowardly American businessmen to pay him tribute in the form of contributions to his Rainbow Coalition and sundry other causes.

That’s all over now. The king is dead, long live the new king; and the old king is seething with resentment over his loss of the monarchy he occupied for so long.

By achieving the exalted status as the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party -- which along with the media has long groveled at Jesse’s feet -- Obama has in one painful stroke lopped off Jesse’s manhood. He is the man of the hour, in one cruel stroke making Jesse a thing of the past.

How that must hurt the self-appointed leader of the nation’s African-American community which despite Jesse’s attempts to keep them enslaved on his plantation have made enough huge strides as to have one of their number striding confidently towards the presidency of the United States.

Rooted in the past, Jesse is mad. Jesse is angry. Jesse is upset. It drives him up a wall when Obama echoes Bill Cosby by demanding that his fellow African-American men assume the responsibilities of fatherhood.

By so doing, Obama neuters Jesse, who always blames an alleged racist white America for the failure of many black fathers to act like fathers. Continued...

The TRUTH....
Many know of Jesse & Sharpton being self-proclaimed godheads of the black community, but have remained mute in fear of their strong following, liberal judges that side with their agenda, and of course the liberal media that gave these two racist leaders the platform to spew bias and hatred.

So, despite the ludicrous nature of Obama being a presidential candidate without a resume, green, harboring anti-American friends, obscure thoughts, an ungrateful wife, and being unfit to command, at least Obama dethroned two major tyrants that only fueled race hatred in this country to the detriment of all. Maybe race relations will finally begin to heal...that's a good thing! However, Obama as president is certainly a bad thing. A far better black candidate is Alan Keyes. But intelligence or ability means little these days. This must turn around! America... Wake Up!

Bye, bye Jesse
I am a proud African American and have never viewed Jesse Jackson as the leader of the black community. I feel he's always had his own agenda, which focused more on hmiself and not on the black community as a whole. His divisive comments over the years have done nothing to improve the lives of blacks or anyone else. Great column Mr. Reagan.
