In the much-hyped video that captured his remark, Jackson is seated next to Dr. Reed Tuckson just before they were to appear live on “Fox & Friends” on Sunday. In barely more than a whisper, Jackson criticizes how Barrak Obama has been speaking to the black community and how he discusses positions on faith-based issues.
At that point, Jackson said he wanted to cut Obama’s “nuts out.”

It was all part of a careful arrangement: Democrat Barack Obama would get fundraising help from his erstwhile rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in exchange for his help retiring about $10 million of her campaign debt.

But Obama momentarily forgot his part of the deal at a major New York fundraiser Wednesday night, forcing him to retake the stage after he had concluded the event and said goodnight to the audience.

It should come as no surprise to Senator Barack Obama that his vote today in favor of expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is drawing cries of outrage from many corners of the liberal blogosphere.

Obama’s sound support base is starting to come through clenched teeth.  Almost every position that this man took to get the party nomination has been flip flopped yet Jackson offers an apology for his beliefs (not a great trait for a man of the cloth) and Clinton is with Obama at a fund raiser today.  Oh how that must sting.

The only thing that I can surmise from Obama’s current strategy is to eat into the independent voters that are leaning towards McCain.  The worst part is that this strategy might work, after all the Democrats have a track record of voting for the person with the D next to their name regardless of previous transgressions.  The one mistake that Obama may be making is that he is one of the few who have gone directly against what his base wants.  Swindle some money?  That’s ok. Provide funding for a bridge to nowhere? Doesn’t directly affect me.  Go against the basic beliefs of the Democratic Party? …..I guess we find out in November.

Obama has however put Democrats in a hard spot.  Left leaning Democrats won’t vote for McCain, he doesn’t stand for what they stand for and that’s ok, it’s the reason for more than one party.  Now, based on that same logic, how can they vote for Obama?  I hope they use more brains that to put a person in the White House just because he puts a D by his name on the ballot.
