Jesse Jackson and Obama Feud...Another Angle?

I just wanted to throw this idea out there. I thought about it today...it's seems farfetched but there may be some weight to the idea.

Most of you by now have seen or heard about Jesse Jackson being "caught" on camera mummbling inappropriate things about Obama. There was the uproar over Jackson's comments and Obama distanced himself further from the radical Jackson.

I've just been wondering if that whole thing was set up. Something specifically designed to allow Obama to distance himself from the very radical Jesse Jackson.

Many African Americans nowadays have lost faith in Jackson and even stress that they don't support many of his ideas. Many whites have never liked him and don't want anything to do with him.

Jackson can survive negative publicity. Heck it's about all he ever gets anyway unless he's off playing spokesman for some victim of a natural disaster or hate crime.

At anyrate...Obama worked hard to distance himself from the radical ideals of his former pastor. Being a black politican many may associate him with Jackson. That in no way will win him many votes from whites...in fact it may discourage votes....The same goes for the more educated and conservative African American voters.

So is it remotely possible that Jackson threw himself in the fire to give his old pal Obama something he needed to seperate the connection between them?

Re: Jesse Jackson and Obama Feud...Another Angle?

Based on the information I've seen, right now I say there is not a coordinated connection. I think Jesse slipped up and forgot to never, ever say anything you don'[t want repeated while you're wearing a mic or have a mic within close proximity.

I do think Jesse and the like are worried Obama may change how the feds handle issues he likes to mouth about. If the feds control the funds channeled toward helping end some of these problems, it puts Jesse out of a job.

Jesse would wind up in lines at the employment office and for government cheese.
