Obama's camp just put out a statement in response to Jesse Jackson's comment:

[jenmito]

"As someone who grew up without a father in the home, Senator Obama has spoken out and written for many years about the issue of parental responsibility, including the importance of fathers participating in their children's lives. He also discusses our responsibility as a society to provide jobs, justice, and opportunity for all. He will continue to speak out about our responsibilities to ourselves and each other and he of course accepts Reverend Jackson's apology."-Bill Burton

[tekisui]

1. Adding, "He wants to keep his nuts."

:rofl:

[jenmito]

2. kick since I took the time to copy the statement word for word by continually pausing the tv

:)

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

3. In that case

I'll help to keep it kicked. :)

[jenmito]

4. Awww, thanks, Pavlov!

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

11. Then a double plus ultra kick!

Well, I would if I could, anyway! :toast:

[jenmito]

12. Thanks, blondeatlast!!

:hi:

[tishaLA]

5. That's a very good response.

[jenmito]

6. I agree. He got to tout his long-held beliefs about parental responsibility, stand up

to Jesse Jackson, AND accept his apology. (And did you see the statement JJ's SON put out? :rofl:

[ellacott]

8. I saw Jr's response

He really smacked down his father.

[jenmito]

10. Yeah, so did I! That was funny!

Yet serious.

[madura]

25. it truly is - always classy and on the mark.

very admirable person he is, and so is his team. impeccable conduct.

[Bluerthanblue]

7. really nicely done!

thanks Jenmito!

:hi:

peace~

[jenmito]

9. Thanks, Bluerthanblue!

:hi:

[Connie_Corleone]

13. P.S. Keep your hands off Senator Obama's nuts.

[Inspired]

14. A very classy response.

[jenmito]

17. I agree. It was a gift to Obama, really.

[yellerpup]

15. Kick! n/t

:kick:

[jenmito]

23. Thanks, yellerpup!

:hi:

[yellerpup]

29. My pleasure.

Good job, as always jenmito! :applause:

[jenmito]

31. Thanks again...

:grr: (blushing wildly)

[rndmprsn]

16. even measured response...

i have come to expect no less from obama.

[jenmito]

19. I agree...

and I love your "sig line." :D

[thewiseguy]

18. Oreilly said they have far more damaging material from Jesse on the clip

Yet they wont release it because they are not out to embarrass him. You call that a blackmail or what? :puke:

[jenmito]

21. Yeah, right...

like they wouldn't show it if they had it. :eyes:

[AllentownJake]

22. Total Bullshit

O'reilley hates Jesse with a passion and if he could embarrass him further he wouldn't hesitate.

[politicasista]

24. Whatever O'Liely

Whatever. :boring:

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Why would someone want to cut someone's nuts off?

Rev. Jackson stuck his foot in his mouth again. He had the mic on him. Good lord, how stupid.

[thewiseguy]

26. I think he wanted to be heard

He knew what he was doing.

[Catherine Vincent]

27. He had to have known.

To say something as vulgar as what he said. He moved down another notch in my book.

[genna]

28. Nuts is vulgar?

:spray:


I spent all day trying to find out what he said that he needed to apologize for. Now that I know, I am underwhelmed.

:rofl:


I thought this was as funny as when Bill Clinton said that he didn't have to take any shit off him BHO or that BHO sent Father Phleger out to make HRC seem like a racist. Preposterous. Outrageous. Hilarious.


Take a breath.
Imagine yourself being impolitic, saying what is on your mind and then having it overheard by an entire room of mixed company, non family members.

Then, think about how quick that apology was. Then the son follows quickly to say he's rejecting and denouncing these statements.


This is the height of political theater. I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked BY these STATEMENTS.

[Catherine Vincent]

30. Of course not. But wanting to cut them off, is. nt

[Mimosa]

32. Genna, you DON'T support Obama, do you?

Genna, I've been reading your posts. You do not support Barack Obama as the next President of the United States, do you?

You do realise being a member in good standing on DU means you agree to support our nominee for the presidecy, don't you? I know how I sound. Do you know how all your posts sound? They sound like your intent is to tear down support for the democratic nominee.

[geek tragedy]

33. "I want to cut her tits off."

Would that be funny?
