Barack Obama may say that Israel has no better friend than himself, but Jesse Jackson begs to differ.

I see some passive aggressive rumblings here.  Possibly for the “snips” remark which banished JJ.  He can always backtrack since his daughter went to school with Michelle Obama and his son works with Obama.  I don’t think this was a “freudian slip.”

Jackson: Expects Obama to stop “putting Israel’s interests first” in making Mideast policy.

…they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.

“Obama is about change, and the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it.”

“We helped him start his career,” says Jackson.

Interesting, because a few months back he was whispering about Obama and how he was going to give him the snips.

Will Obama’s election close the chapter of black grievances linked to memories of slavery? The reverend takes a deep breath and waits a long time before responding.

“No, that chapter won’t be closed,” he says. “However, Obama’s victory will be a huge step in the direction we have wanted America to take for decades.”

WTH?   That chapter won’t be closed??   Well, what must America do to satisfy that grievance?

“Obama’s thirst for justice and equality is rooted in his black culture.”

Saul Alinsky was a white dude.  I hope you don’t mean Davis.  The black father figure, Frank Marshall Davis is a pervert.

But is Obama – who’s not a descendant of slaves – truly a typical American black?

Jackson emphatically answers yes: “You don’t need to be a descendant of slaves to experience the oppression, the suffocating injustice and the ugly racism that exists in our society,” he says. “Obama experienced the same environment as all American blacks did. It was nonsense to suggest that he was somehow not black enough to feel the pain.”

Feel my pain, Jesse.  Thought so.  You’re are piled high and knee deep.
