I'm sure all things being equal Obama would prefer Jesse Jackson not campaign on his behalf.
PREPARE for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week.
He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration."
The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.
Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.
"Obama is about change," Jackson told me in a wide-ranging conversation. "And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it."
Jackson warns that he isn't an Obama confidant or adviser, "just a supporter." But he adds that Obama has been "a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family." Jackson's son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson's daughter went to school with Obama's wife Michelle.
"We helped him start his career," says Jackson. "And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged."
"Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims," Jackson says. "Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith."

Who listens to Jessie Jackson ?
the right apparently.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
Here you go , evidencde of the racially tinged aspect of their hate for ACORN.
If YOU do not know Jessie Jackson Jr and have not heard him speak I think you will be amazed at this young man.
He is brilliant.
I have NO problems in knowing that he and Obama are good friends.
There is a segment of this country that live in the past and is it any wonder they think being a conservative is a great idea?
They want to conserve the racism of the past and infect our coutnry with it forever.
I have seen and heard Jessie jackson. I do not disagree with too much of what he says. I do not like the guy however, he seems to be mainly out for Jessie.

hes good looking and very bright.
Having his fathers name has probably slowed his political carreer
Would someone please be so kind as to tell me if I am reading the right article? (Lord knows if wouldn't be the first time my dumb ass read the wrong thing or misread something.) The article I see posted is about Jesse Jackson speaking overseas about how he see's an Obama presidency playing out.
I don't see anything about ACORN and I don't see anything about Jesse Jackson Jr. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Thank you.
