3. The less he talks, the better I like it.

He's lost all credibility with his dumb comments at the wrong times. Even his own son had to repudiate his nonsense.

5. Here's an article on him a few days ago.

Making sense like he usually does.

DETROIT, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Calling Detroit "ground zero," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said middle-class Americans are under attack in a "depression, not a recession."

The recession hit Detroit harder than any other urban region in the U.S., Jackson said in a Detroit Free Press report.

"The middle class is under attack," Jackson said. "Detroit, Mich., is ground zero."

"This is a depression, not a recession, when you have 30 to 40 percent of residents in poverty … this is a state of emergency," said Jackson, in Detroit to meet with auto industry leaders at the annual Automotive Summit.

Rev. Jesse Jackson called on General Motors today to include minority-owned firms when it issues an initial public offering, and said he has confidence that the automaker will follow through on his request.

Jackson, who spoke this morning at an automotive conference in Detroit, also said he met recently with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and was encouraged by the meeting.

“We believe all roads lead to inclusion,” Jackson said. “When everybody is included, everybody wins.”
