This was pretty much my reaction as well - that it was probably the most honest bit of speaking I've heard in the election so far. I think the crap part of it is that Jackson has some legitimate reason to be frustrated with Obama. The handlers fingerprints are *all over* his campaign now that the primaries are over and it's making him sound like more of the same. Which to me, always begs the question - what is he actually going to do once he's in office? Hold to his principles, or continue to try to cover every base?
My take on it is that I personally would much rather see Obama lose being more authentic and genuine than to see him win under what feel like false pretenses. I'm already getting tired of seeing the pandering level ratcheting up. I'm still hopeful, but scenes like this are disheartening.
