3. With Smiley you never know...nt

4. When I see Cornel West, I always dream about having him as a

professor. He's so animated!

And I think Jesse Jackson Jr. is kind of hot.

[goclark]

13. I think Douglas Wilder got him straight real quick

and a few others helped him to "see the light" on a few issues.

This is a Must See in my view.

6. This is what I'm wondering

Tavis didn't support Obama.

[babylonsister]

7. I think he had his nose out of joint about Obama not showing up

for that forum he was hosting. He just said he loved Obama; they're discussing problems Obama will encounter as a black man and how the m$m is contributing to (negative) perceptions.

[ellacott]

8. I think that's what started it also

I'm glad he had positive things to say about Obama.

5. What is Tavis saying?

[goclark]

14. Doug Wilder helped get him on track real quick

Others helped him to "see the light" on a few issues.

This is a Must See in my view.

9. This is such an awesome panel. I'm just enjoying the crap out of it.

[babylonsister]

10. Jesse Jackson: This week should be about winning, not

whining about losing! Well said!

[goclark]

12. I loved Jesse Jackson Jr. on this panel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Jackson,_Jr.

He was smart, calm, sharp and right on target for every question in my view.

He was in charge of the dialog in terms of keeping Obama in the correct light.


Please K and R this thread so that others will get to see it on video.

As an African American and as an American I was mighty proud.

Mark my words: Jesse Jackson Jr. is SOMEBODY that is going places in Politics.

PS/ I worked with his father's campaign in San Francisco.
I remember working with the Jackson children to blow up balloons and make the signs for the crowd to hold at the convention

A perfect example of the beauty of giving our children experiences that will inspire them throughout their life.

11. What was the name of the woman that asked the question about the international community's response

to a black candidate?

She looked like a younger, prettier Jennifer Garner.

I need to stal...err...contact her through Myspace or Facebook and arrange a meetup in Denver. :P

15. I'll try to replay my DVR to replay it ~ it may take a while

: )

19. I know Tavis is on the outs with a lot of people here, but I like him a lot.

His show is one of the few brief moments of intelligence on tv.

West ain't no slouch either. :)

Sadly, I'm running two other programs in the background that I can't stop in the middle of, so I can't watch this. x(
