Sad End of the Rev. Jesse Jackson

This is video from CNN showing the Rev. Jesse Jackson's comments about Presumed Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama. The comments, which Jackson says took place in a private moment focus on Jackson stating that Obama is talking down to black people and that he would like to cut off his private parts. Below is a direct quote from Fox News' Bill O'Reilly stating that there were additional comments made by Jackson that would cause even further embarrassment:

O'REILLY: 'We held back some of this conversation... we didn't feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening. We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard'...

The comments that have been shown should effectively end Jackson's reign as a viable civil rights spokesperson. Jackson, whose effectiveness has waned over time made very crude and unnecessary comments referencing Obama's recent assertion that black men need to be morally conscious, and responsible for taking care of their kids and family. The truth is that 25% of black household are headed by black woman. If Jackson feels that black men are holding up their end of this bargain, then he's become senile. The fact that Jackson feels that he has a right to openly criticize Senator Obama is really laughable. Obama talking about black people and personal responsibility is something that needs to addressed in our culture.

Unfortunately Rev. Jackson has become a caricature of himself, and at this points needs to retire and cease talking about black issues. His own son, Jesse Jackson Jr., harshly criticized him for the divisive comments, and has completely rejected them. Rev. Jackson, black people appreciate all that you've done over the years, and we hope that you enjoy your retirement.
