This has been alluded to in another thread, but I want serious opinions. Does Jackson's criticisms of Obama provide the Democratic nominee with any "street cred" amongst the "working-class whites" he's struggled to lure?

Separately, I found this paraphase attributed to Jackson galling:

Jackson said at a news conference Wednesday that he responded that Obama's speeches can come off as speaking down to black people and that there were other important issues to be addressed, such as unemployment, the mortgage crisis and the number of blacks in prison.

Did it ever occur to Jackson that some of the issues to which he refer result from problems Obama pointed out??

With Sharpton and Jackson, you cannot apply logic... you know that.

the right is holding their breath hoping that nobody will notice, grmasterb. i think that the lack of commentary tells you all that you need to know.

Funny I would never look at it that way. I wonder if that is why Gramm must have done the same for McCain?
