Jesse Jackson Jr. Confirms in Latest Robocall: “I Am Human”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, October 20, 2012, 5:29 PM
“I am human.”
Jesse Jackson Jr. sent out a robocall this weekend telling constituents “I am human.”
The Herald-News reported:
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. — not heard from since June and being treated for bipolar disorder and depression — on Saturday sent out an automated phone call to voters in his 2nd Congressional District pleading for patience 17 days before the election, speaking out about his condition for the first time.
In the robo call Jackson says, “Like many human beings a series of events came together in my life at the same time and they have been difficult to sort through. I am human. I am doing my best. I am trying to sort through them all.”
He said he is “anxious to return to work on your behalf” but it is against “medical advice” for him to do so. While he is “starting to heal,” Jackson said his doctors told him “the road to recovery is a long one.”
Thanks for the clarification.

Do his constituents get to see the report stating that he is able to perform his duties, and what’s the likelihood of a relapse?

Being human has nothing to do with it, nobody accused him of being a “Martian”. Being CROOKED and INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT is the issue, and he is another Liberal Democrat who is UNFIT FOR PUBLIC SERVICE. Don’t give him a sympathy vote, give him the BOOT so he can get help and NOT cause any more damage to the country.

“I am human!”
I was wondering about that. Still not convinced by a ‘robocall’.
S. Wolf commented:
He’s human? Shouldn’t it be a humacall then or something?

Can’t do the job step the hell down.
Granny commented:
So, the road to recovery is long . . . which means that he is not capable of performing his office at present. Was this a resignation? Sure sounds it to me. If it isn’t it should be.
RealMc commented:
“the road to recovery is a long one.”
Yeah, so how long is sentence for the charges he’s facing?
that long…………………

I have a black co-worker who is some sort of Sufi muslim. He will, at times, talk about ‘you humans’ in the sort of way that JJ is here. Very… odd.

Flashback: Keith Ellison Gave Obama Binder Full Of “Qualified” Muslims To Consider Hiring…
And yet just yesterday the Obama campaign posted this on their website:

Chicago Tribune, March 29, 2009:
CHICAGO — In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation’s most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.
The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.
“It was mostly under the radar,” Williams said. “We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn’t know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community.”
The effort aims to get the administration focused on Muslim Americans, a group that has at times felt like a pariah. During the campaign, Obama’s staff prevented Muslim women wearing head scarves from being photographed behind him, in one of many incidents that left Muslim Americans feeling slighted by the candidate.
Now, Muslim Americans — who according to a recent study overwhelmingly backed Obama in the November election — have been carefully watching the administration’s every step.
Most expressed disappointment with Obama’s initial silence during Israel’s offensive in Gaza. They’ve been encouraged by the video message the president issued recently to the Iranian people on the eve of the Persian holiday of Nowruz, and they want more diplomacy with Syria and Iran. They’ve been troubled by FBI admissions of sending what activists call “agents provocateurs” into mosques, and the bureau’s break in ties with Muslim American organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
