Jesse Jackson Apologizes for Obama Remarks


According to the New York Times' political blog, The Caucus:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for critical comments he made about Senator Barack Obama that were picked up by a Fox News Channel microphone.

According to various reports, Mr. Jackson made disparaging remarks, apparently including a crude reference, about how Mr. Obama was talking to black people.

The rest of the article is here. Unfortunately, the blog apparently doesn't know precisely what Jackson said; it will be broadcast on Faux tonight.

Without actually knowing what he said, I can't imagine that Jackson's remarks won't actually help Obama.

Update: At least one person agrees with me.

Update 2: So does this one.
