The Jesse Jackson Jr. video is extremely disturbing. Although I am a strong Barack Obama supporter, the Senator must distance himself from this kind of rhertoric. It is especially damaging coming from one of his campaign officials. To insinuate that Senator Clinton had no compasson for the Hurricane Katrina victims is offensive. To imply that Senator Obama will win big in South Carolina because of it's large black population is both racist and equally offensive. With friends like this, Barack needs no enimies. It is imperative that Senator Obama make a sincere and speedy denouncement of Jackson's totally inappropriate remarks. In fact. perhaps Jackson should be disciplined for this blatant indiscretion. I have never doubted Senator Clinton's degree of compassion. I also hope that the majority of thinking Americans will vote for the candidate they feel has the best qualifications, irregardless of their race or gender!! I totally agree.
