Yes, you heard it right. Jesse Jackson said he wants to cut Barack Obama’s nuts off, or out, depending on which transcript you see as the official record. Some news agencies reported “off” and others reported “out.” Either way, it’s a big, fat “Ouch!”

What did Obama do? He allegedly “talked down to black people.” OMG! A black man talking down to black people? What nerve!

Evidently, the Rev. Jesse Jackson thinks it’s OK for a black leader to make excuses for bad behavior, but if one tells black men that they’ve got to start being better fathers then he’s “talking down.” But Obama isn’t the first black leader to make such remarks. Comedian Bill Cosby said it first, but I don’t remember Jesse Jackson ever saying nasty things about him. Of course, the once voice of Fat Albert wasn’t running for president on the Democratic ticket. Well, I guess it just goes to show that if preachers don’t tell it like it is then politicians should know better than to do so as well.

Poor Obama. He gets no respect.
