Jackson: Obama Talks Down To Blacks


AP File Photo
A June 4, 2007 file photo shows Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., right, laughing after saying goodbye to Rev. Jesse Jackson, reflected left, after Obama addressed the Rainbow PUSH Coalition's annual conference breakfast in Rosemont, Ill. On Wednesday Jackson apologized comments he made about Obama during what he thought was a private in which he said: "I wanna cut his nuts off." Jackson also said Obama talks down to blacks. The comments were said into a live mike during an interview with Fox News. Story here.

Question: Will Jackson's candid remarks about Obama hurt the Democrats presidential candidacy badly?
