He comes from a time when the comments was more acceptable. Times have changed and there are more causes. I'm not a big Jesse fan, in fact I am quite angry with the guy. But if he would like to set things right, Id like him to take a stand behind abused woman and helping them get protection, an education and the aid they need to get back on their feet. Maybe along the way, Jesse can learn how to properly gain media attention in a positive manner.

I thought the picture was funny because it was sooooo ridiculous. The dap did it for me. Mind you, I am the ONLY one out of my circle of friends who does think its funny. I am also the only was who "knows" the New Yorker. My feeling is: 1. If you want to play with the big boys, you better muscle up. 2. He HAD to denounce it off course, McCain HAD to denounce it and everyone HAD to denounce it. This is a good thing. The crazy charges are put to rest. 3. It was perfect! Just what Obama needed. Those images reflected what is most feared about a Black person holding office (that everything will go to hell). Seeing that image, made that idea ridiculous. Everything that is feared about Obama by the nuts out there now seems silly. That image was so ridiculous. I believe that Obama was actually glad for it. The only thing that was missing in the photo was a witch doctor as cabinet member. That would have completed the picture. 733902@blogcritics.org Sat, 19 Jul 2008 08:53:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/18/034646.php#comment-733847 Jackson is jealous. Obama makes him irrelevant, and President Obama would make him a permanent has-been. 733847@blogcritics.org Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:58:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/18/034646.php#comment-733780 Bliffle, Every now and then -- it is rare, I will admit -- we agree. Anything or anybody who could make Al Sharpton look good by comparison must be pretty bad.

Finally. He's so bad that he makes Al Sharpton look good, something I thought was near impossible. 733715@blogcritics.org Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:42:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/18/034646.php#comment-733707 I agree with you, both were appalling. However, I keep thinking that Obama missed a good opportunity to poke fun at himself with the cover. Instead, he came off as being hurt and tense. 733707@blogcritics.org Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:42:23 EDT
