Jesse Jackson has recently gone on the defensive after being caught on tape criticizing Barack Obama for being too harsh on black Americans, particularly fathers, in regards to a Father’s Day speech in Chicago . Jackson has come out and apologized for the unintentional public criticism, but still kind of stuck to his guns:

“My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility.”

Hey Jesse! You are voting Democrat, I assume? You’re not helping the cause, buddy.
