Jesse Jackson just won't let us down...

In light of everything going on we find that Jesse Jackson is still jealous of Presidential hopeful Barack Obama for getting closer to the Oval Office than he.
While speaking to Reed Tuckson from the United Health Group, Reverend Jackson had some negative comments about Senator Obama's recent support for faith-based charities operating with government funds. Here is a part of what Jackson said.

REV. JESSE JACKSON: See, Barack's been, um, talking down to black people on this faith-based… I want to cut his (EXPLETIVE DELETED) off. Barack, he's talking down to black people.
(END VIDEO CLIP)

Now, no one has any idea why Jackson framed his comments that way. We invited the Jackson on Chicago Funnies Podcast program this evening. He declined.

What we don't understand is his apology. He was sorry, but he didn't know the microphone was still on. Like men apologize for being caught cheating and saying "I'm sorry, but I didn't know you would ever find out (not funny)."

It is okay to be upset over a stance someone takes but to say vulgar things about them and apologize that the microphone was on, is not good.

Will this hurt O'bama's campaign? Once again...
