Things that make you go...What The $&^@

Today while cruising around the Interwebz, I read an article about Da Reverant J Jackson. The author implied that Jesse has never been around a mike that he didn't love.
.
Well, that's a given, the man hasn't shut up since 1966, except when someone is asking about his (illegitimate, that is) children.
.
Then the Rev. jumped out in front and apologised.
.
The Obmessiah accepts his apology and floats above the reaction. Convenient, don't you think?
.
The premiere race baiter makes a "mistake", the racially diverse candidate forgives, and points out his superior moral differences from the old guard.
.
I wounder if the whole mess was arranged to give the Obamessaih some blue collar votes by showing that he doesn't identify with the likes of Jackson and Sharpton?
.
With the amount of time that the Rev. spends in front of a mike, the number of times that such gaffs show up in the public record, and the possible consequences of such mistakes, I would certainly keep my yak shut. I think Jesse would also.
.
Do I think the whole thing was set up as a spring board for political gain?
.
I wouldn't be surprised.
