Jesse Jackson's Gas Guzzling Escalade Stolen After Green Jobs Rally

He wanted the people of Detroit to take his advice.
They took his Escalade instead.
Unfortunately the gas guzzler he was driving was stolen and stripped.
Jalopnik.com reported:
The Rev. Jesse Jackson came to Detroit last weekend pushing green jobs for the U.S. economy. On Monday, the Cadillac Escalade carrying him around the city was stolen and stripped. Does building replacement $1000 rims count as “green jobs?”
Jackson came to Detroit as part of UAW President Bob King’s “Jobs, Justice and Peace” march on Sunday, which drew about 5,000 people to a combination protest and Democratic Party spirit parade. A few days before the rally, Jackson wrote a piece for CNN.com laying out its goals:
A key component of stable job growth is our nation’s energy policy. If our country gets serious about energy savings and independence from oil, we could rebuild domestically and power the U.S. economy with American jobs…Ending the subsidies that make dirty fuels artificially cheap can spark a shift in infrastructure development, create more jobs and allow America to become more self-sufficient.
A day after the rally, the 2009 Cadillac Escalade SUV that Jackson used to get around Detroit went missing from a parking lot near his hotel. According to WXYZ-TV, the SUV was later found abandoned, with the window busted and its wheels gone, similar to the jacking of a SUV used by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing’s security.

The Escalade is one of the worst vehicles in the category of theft damages. It might actually be the very worst.
It’s tough to steal a car that isn’t very old, thanks to modern fuel cut off devices and chips in the keys. So instead, people steal parts from cars that they have towed away. They still need parts from popular cars like Accords, but the real money is in stupid expensive stuff like rims from a blinged up Tahoe (an Escalade).
What (shakedown victim) company was it that promised to support Rainbow Coalition if only they would open up their books to an independent audit? Smartest reaction to such a Jackson scam I’ve ever seen.

An example of the “work” product of Democratic voters.
Democratic policies bring all sorts of heartaches. When will the common sense among us learn this lesson thoroughly. NEVER, ever, vote Democrat.
The public schools, unions, and Katrina are just examples of Democratic policies in action.

Detroit is a wasteland. About the only industry left is recycling. I’m sure the locals were delighted at Jesse’s contribution towards their “green economy.”
wanumba commented:
So … like, who are those white ‘handlers’ of his?
wanumba commented:
Oh, and “green jobs” means Ghaddafi’s “Green Islamic (secularish) Socialism, Ghaddafi’s sort of version of Baathism, not actually anything to do with “energy.”

See how well my economic policies are working?
I have impoverished the average citizen while making Kings out of politicians and cronies. That is Change!
Sure, we might have to circle the Limousines and SUVs at political rallies to keep the $4,000 rims and tires on them. But, make no mistake as soon as I import the millions of solar panels from China every single auto factory in the USA will pollution free – and job free when the sun is not out.
Of course, the average citizen will be broke and not able to afford gas to drive to his green job – but that is a good thing! Politicians will have plenty of gas for their black windowed Limousines and SUVs!
Even better, there will no jobs left except for $8 per hour ACORN jobs and union paid picketing jobs! The average worker will be our slave!
And, once I get 0bamacare in high gear the American Dollar will be worth one Mexican Peso and the Tax Payers will be begging for mercy! I love that kind of Change!
My limousine is over heating and I have a meeting with Jesse Jackson. I think it is time to form Limousine Convoys so we will not lose our shinny wheels while partying at fancy hotels.
No, I will not be joining 0bamacare or will my political cronies. 0bamacare sucks! 0bamcare is only for those few remaining Tax Payers. Good day.
