Jesse Jackson, Wesley Clark--"Friends of Obama???"
This is what drives campaign management crazy.
One or two of Senator Barack Obama's supporters, out of the 15 million supporters he got in the primary---gets on a talking head network or cable show, and are so stupid...they destroy the candidate for a day.
1. Jesse Jackson, who has preached love and peace, and supported the "Million Man March," tells --off mike--to a Fox News Host, that Obama, who is talking about Fatherless African American families, is therefore talking down to Black folks.
Then JJ, in his not so peace loving mood off camera, but not off mike, says to the Fox host---"I would like to cut his nuts off." --speaking about the Democratic Nominee for President.
This is the true Reverend Jesse Jackson---mean-vengeful--and constantly needing the media spotlight.
As one long time supporter told me in his 80's campaign for president---"Jesse's home is on the road, and his road is his home."
The same gentleman told me that the Martin Luther King people would not release any of their copyrighted film to him, because there is such friction between them and Jackson.
2. Then we get retired (thank God) Wesley Clark, whose claim to fame, was to bomb the shit with his air force over the Bosnia conflict...and kill a lot of Serbians and Muslims....so they could be brought to the negotiating table.
Clark then lambastes the honest, decent and tortured for 5 years, in a POW camp, Senator John McCain, as not being a real leader in military matters.
When the well documented case of McCains abuse in a POW solitary confinement cell, where he had his shoulders beaten every time he gave his captives the finger----and when they said they would let him out early, which was against military rules---so they broke his shoulders again-----This makes Clark, look like a "Dr. Strange stupid."
This is one reason why some folks feel that Generals shouldn't be politicians, and politicians shouldn't be Generals.
Even though I am a strong supporter of Senator Barack Obama, John McCain is a true American hero, and someone who was dying in a Vietnamese brutal POW camp....when the Communist North wanted to give him early release, for PR reasons, because McCains Father was a Naval leader during that war.......John McCain refused and said to his captives: "First Man in-First Man out."
His captives shoved him back into solitary confinement again....and broke his shoulders again.
This is one reason why he can't raise his arm to comb his hair.
To denigrate the service of John McCain in the time of war was just plain stupid by Clark.
Once again, I support Obama for President, but he should make a strong statement of why Clark and Jesse Jackson, do not speak for him and the nature of his positive campaign.
