There is no beef!

    he might have accepted his apology, basically because he had to, but he isn't going to forgive him. JJ' son also works for Obama. Obama had to forgive for his campaign

    Jessie is a hater and is jealous of Barack Obama. I guess because we can actually understand what Barack is saying, he needs to be in an English dialect class somewhere.

    Where's the apology from Obama. He is so embarrassed that some Americans go to France and can't speak French. 10,000 young American men died on D-day at places like Normandy and Utah Beach. Doubt they knew alot of French. They gave their lives for the people of France. If they hadn't Obama would have to be embarrassed that stupid Americans can't speak German when they go to France. This from a man, who tells people at a campaign rally, his grandfather liberated Aushwitz in Germany. Aides had to tell him that Aushwitz is in Poland and was liberated by the Russians. Obama's family history seems to be a little "fuzzy" to him, as well.

    Is Rev Jackson a "community organizer" as well? I'm not sure what a "community organizer" is but I'm not sure electing one President of the US is a good idea.

    of course he accepted the apology, publicly. what was he going to do, pick a public fight over his comments? obama has to stay classy so his CELEBRITY image stays clean… way too much HYPE about this guy.

    Re: LettyB – of course, millions of Americans are very aware of the contribution of the Canadians and British, our closest Allies! My point is, Obama could be POTUS and he doesn't seem to know the contributions made by the same military he wants to command. Americans embarrass him but he wants to be our leader. :(

    THE WHOLE "PUBLIC APOLOGY" AND "ACCEPT APOLOGY" THEATRICS ARE SO INSANE IN THE MEDIA THESE DAYS! DO YOU THINK JESSIE'S APOLOGY MEAN SHIT? DO YOU THINK OBAMA WOULD LIKE TO HAVE WIPED HIS ASS WITH JESSIE'S APOLOGY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT? JESSIE JACKSON IS THE BIGGEST RACIST HYPOCRITE ASSHOLE SCUMBAG THERE IS! HE HAD ALREADY MADE COMMENTS ABOUT OBAMA NOT BEING BLACK ENOUGH FOR HIS TASTE.
    I LOOOOOVE THAT HE GOT BUSTED ON TV BEING A DICKHEAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

    Jesse Jackson is one of the deadbeat dads Barack is talking to in his speeches about values. He fathered a child out of wedlock, stepped into the shadows for a while and then being the arrogant person he is he came right back into the spotlight to keep talking. If Obama loses the election, he can thank Revs Wright and Jackson. If you listen to the black commentators and columnists on the evening news shows they all talk in circles, if you call them on a statement they made in the past, they twist it up like a pretzel, anybody who votes Obama is a fool, I am not a Republican but when Hillary lost the nomination I decided to vote for McCain because this is what we will see and hear for four years, nobody in the white press will be able to ask a question or make a comment and did anybody watch Obama while he was "interviewed" by Maria Menounos of Access Hollywood, right there he showed what a fool he was, he at least could have done the interview with 60 Minutes or 20/20. He is a poor speaker off the cuff, if he doesn't have his mouthpieces right behind him he is far from eloquent.

    Uhmmm, I am not an American and I know that ur Constitution says that you must be a natural born citizen to run for president. Shouldn't U.S. citizens know this? So, saying Obama is a foreigner is not correct.
    Did u know McCain was born on an army base in the Panama Canal Zone, which is or was not considered part of the United States?
    Some of you commenters need to know a little more about ur amazing country. P.s. ur Republicans are hilarious, why people vote for them amazes me. Yeeeeehaw, lets kill everyone, raise taxes and rule you like a king. Lol, tools.

    Re: polit
    Your ignorance disgusts me. Don't you even know US history?? you can even google it for godssakes:

    "The Spanish language has been around in this country for as long if not longer than English. It began in the early 1500s with the Spanish exploration of the "New World". The Spanish initially established colonies in Florida and explored the coasts of Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and New England. The Spanish then decided to explore the vast West and Southwest territories of present-day United States. This began as early as 1540. Today, you can see the impact of this exploration in the large Spanish-speaking populations in Texas, Nevada, Arizona, California, Colorado, and New Mexico."

    Go, Obama! You keep on talking "down" to the blacks of this country. The majority of them need a GIANT kick in the ass for their insistence on remaining uneducated, on Welfare, in prison, and breeding like idiots to promulgate their stupidity and general leech-like behavior. The slavery pity party has ended. Scratch the surface of anyone and you will find pain — past and present — galore. Yes, the blacks had it bad. Real bad. But that doesn't grant them the "right" (why would anyone want it?) to be leeching assholes forever. Being a taker is boring. That's what people on Welfare are: BORING. And the result is they get talked down to. Don't like it? Get an education and leave the ghetto and stop fucking, breeding, and abandoning — the Black Trifecta.

Wasn't that Jesse — can't keep my wrinkly dink in my pants — Jackson who knocked up some whore babymama? I am beyond sick of the BLACK AGENDA: fuck 'em and leave 'em.

    Jesse Jackson said those remarks because HE MEANT IT. the superficial and insincere apology is so Obama can save a little face. Obama has just over a 100 days of political experience in Washington. He is NO orator- without a speech in front of him, he stumbles and stutters worse than Bush ever has. Why? because he DOESN'T KNOW what he is talking about. If he wakes up in the White House next year, he is going to be one scared SOB. He has to realize at some point that he doesn't know anything. It's like being asked to do brain surgery when you are really just the admitting clerk at the hospital. HE DOESN'T KNOW anything about Washington or business. He's never even had his own business! What a joke!

    reading these post and listening to AAmericans call into talk shows, as a conservative person, I find it interesting, that things we said about Bill and Hill and Jesse and Al years ago and have been saying for years are now becoming the becoming mainstream democrat opinion. With that thought in mind 10 years from now dems will understand that Obama is a Marxist.

    In NO there was a police officer who in the last 15 minutes before he retired, the chief of police suspended him because his shirt was the wrong shade. I just knew the guy was gonna be white and sure enough. Would think New Orleans would have more to worry about than a guys shirt that was 15 minutes from retirement!
