Blue Star Chronicles

Jesse Jackson has done it again. He’s made more comments that are causing problems for the Obama campaign. Read about it below and see a video of his previous statements.

I can’t quite figure out if Jesse Jackson is working for or against Barack Obama’s campaign. From his statements behind the scenes on Fox News a month or so ago (see video below), one has to assume that he’s not really excited at the prospect of Obama becoming President. On the other hand, he publicly states that he is.

Or, he’s losing it and getting careless about what he says and who hears what he says.

Jackson’s latest faux pas has to do with statements he made to the World Policy Forum in France last week. The Chicago civil rights activist is reported to have stated that:

“Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” would lose some of their influence with Obama in the White House, and that “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would come to a close.

Oh dear.

The Obama campaign quickly jumped in to condemn the comments and distance themselves from anything that might in the least risk them getting the Jewish vote. In fact, there is a Jewish case against Obama. But I’m sure they didn’t want Jackson saying that out loud.

If only Obama would be as concerned about distancing himself from the other questionable associations he’s had throughout his adult life. Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan come to mind.
