Bill Cosby got attacked for the same thing. Of course JJackson Jr ( a chip off the oldblock) immediately ripped his dad so that his image doesn't get hit. J Jackson's wife is rumored to be running for mayor of Chicago next election. JJ jr and the rest of Obama's staff get it, you can't run a campaign when you are trying to get people to look past race as an issue, and then go down the path JJ sr did. I think it's time for senior to fade away ...
