Jesse is backing the best black man for the job...
Jesse Jackson, of course. Silly!
The guy is famous for being a loose cannon and an opportunistic prick who grand-stands on issues just to get some more attention for himself, just a bit better than the Reverend Al Sharpton. Both Revs, Jesse and Al, run shake-down rackets in the name of obtaining justice for the victims of racism but when you look into it somehow it always seems that they do well out of these things without producing much that is meaningful.
There is a clear and distinct difference in the Reverend Jackson calling for the involuntary castration of a United States Senator and a mildly amusing shock-jock DJ insulting an obscure Ivy League basketball team.
Only one of these deserves the full outcry of the 'leadership' and the call for economic boycotts, thus making that pillar of fortitude, corporate America, stand tall so that even 'Duke' Wayne would be proud.
If Jackson's name were only Gambini or the like, I've no doubt that RICO statutes would have long ago been invoked. But since it's not, I can only assume that it is the right of such men to 'get even with the man.'
Even if that 'man' is black. Apparently, just not black enough, therefore, fair game.
Once you all stop looking at the colour of his skin .There is not much left to look at .What has he actually ever done for his country ??? Get elected ???
I always laugh when someone dares to compare him to JFK as JFK loved his country .Stood in harms way .Fought bravely for his country.Put the family skills of small rapid boats to use .And JFK banged Marlyn Munroe .
What has this guy ever done ???Other than get into Harvard with 'B 'averages. Something no rednecked sharecropper from the South could have been allowed to do
Well now, on that tack, were one to take his full name into account, he might remind one rather more of that well known military establishment which goes by the name of Joint Task Force Guantanamo or Guantanamo Bay to its initiates.
Lest we forget and by solely an accident of ingenuity on the part of his parents, were Obama to be elected he would be known as:
President Barack Hussein Obama II.
This of course should not be allowed to detract from his almost Messianic appeal which sometimes is of a nature as to be rather confusing.
Don'[t forget that the young JFK got his clock cleaned by Kruschev at Vienna which led to the willy-waving of the Bay of Pigs.
I believe that a President Obama would likewise face an early challenge to his resolve - from where I don't know. Iran? North Korea? Russia? Venezuela?
A combination thereof?
It will be interesting to say the least to see how it plays out.
Well actually and with great respect, I would reply that you are entirely correct as to the inferiority complex which one K, the Russian, managed to conjure up in the other K, the Irish/American. (One of his claims to fame, not, I assure you, a slur on my part) The Bay of Pigs, howver, took place in April of that year, 1961, and the Vienna Conference was in June. It was the Cuban Missile Crisis which was the direct outcome of the war mongering and personality conflict of the two Ks.
Seem to remember there was a U2 shot down over Cuba around that time as well? Gary Powers had lost his in 1960.
If Obama gets in to the White House, a challenge from somewhere will certainly arise. Rumour has it that Obama neither likes the military nor is at all liked or respected by them. That is potentially a dire forecast for the future, which has led in the past to those in military authority but with no experience, commiting acts of folly which have been, at the least, extremely injurious to the health of the country's fighting forces.
