Does that mean Obama will start shaking down corporations with threats of bogus racial complaints like Jesse Jackson so he can get free beer distributorships and McDonald’s franchises like Jesse has? I thought it was Al Sharpton who had taken up Jackson’s shakedown torch.

Newsflash for Obama: Jesse Jackson Jr.: Obama has “taken up the torch” from my father…

If he wasn’t aware of it before, he is now! Talk about the kiss of death to a campaign! Who would want his endorsement?

So, Obama will become America’s next race baiter, right?

Talk about the kiss of death! I have yet to meet a person that feels that Jesse is a positive influence on the black culture. Most agree that he had the opportunity to do much good, but squandered it, while others just see him as a pimp in the black community.

I guess JJ Jr. wasn’t dumb enough to pick up the torch himself. Black race-baiting demagogues are so 20th century.

Never mind a torch, he will need a ten trillion megawatt searchlamp to find his way out of the political forest he is in right now.
As a black man, the spectacle of a white woman ( Hilary ), and a half-white man ( Obama ) competing for the mantle of who is the blackest, is quite amusing.
Liberal Democrat politics at it’s best.

If Obama takes JJ’s torch, I offer my condolences.

I voted for Jessie Jackson two decades ago..sniff.. sniff..Oh Boohoohoohooooo….I was a liberal and didn’t know any better..sniff…I’m…. sorry!!

That’s OK. None of us have lived perfect lives. I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992, mainly because I was dissatisfied with George Bush The Elder. Then my dissatisfaction with Mr. Bill led me back to my conservative roots. So you see, there’s always hope.

The next time someone wonders how Ted Kennedy or John Kerry gets elected, take it to the next level and ponder Turd Jr. being part of Congress.

All part of the deconstructive philosophy of the United States.

Was this torch given up willingly?
Something tells me that as far as Jesse would be concerned, they’d have to pry it from his cold, dead hands

Jesse Jackson Jr.: Obama has “taken up the torch” from my father

Michelle Obama better hope that “torch” doesn’t include having affairs and fathering illegitimate kids, and then using tax-exempt “donations” to keep the moms quiet.

Par for the Liberal course… We’ll not see an end to the race-baiting poverty pimping in our lifetimes… Unless of course, the Left wins enough elections to eventually allow the Taliban and al Quaeda their opportunity to purge us of all Liberals. THEN we could simply rise up against the terror-wielding tyrants, uninhibited by Liberal obstruction and treachery, and take back our free country and freedoms… Let’s start hiding weapons and building secret bases from which to deliver our blows. We could call the coming of terrorists and the beginning of our plight, “Black Dawn”…

I’ll never forget Jesse introducing his son. As he came up to the stage from the back of the crowd, Jesse said, “look at him, rising like sphinx from the ashes”!

Which Jackson is Obama-sama picking up the torch from? The pre-early 80s Jackson who was pro-life ( mostly because he played on fears of Blacks being disproportionally aborted as some sort of Negro Extermination Plot ) , or the Jackson-since-early-80s who became pro-choice to postiion himself to run for Prez?
