Rev. Jesse Jackson

The ridiculous item of the day posted on the O'rielly Factor yesterday was a story about Jesse Jackson leading a bus trip to New Orleans in search of answers concerning jobs. A noble cause to be sure, however, the people with the good reverend were not from New Orleans, they were from Mobile and I believe Montgomery! My question is Why bring people from somewhere else to search for job? To me, this made no sense at all. The notion that folks from Mobile and Montgomery would what jobs that far from their homes is riduculous. Now i do understand the thought process behind it, it seems to me that the planning was problematic and the execution was ill-concieved.
Perhaps Rev. Jackson should step down from his political soapbox and step behind his pulpit. He will help more people spiritually than he will by staging poorly planned politically motivated jaunts. Realistically, I know this will not happen but it would incur the wrath of the leftwing anti-religous movment in this country. That is another story for another time.
