POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Rainbow Putsch and Obama’s DC

Remember this story from 2006?

Like Father, Like Son

From the Independent (UK)

The Reverend Jesse Jackson, the veteran civil rights leader, has called on African Americans to boycott BP over its record on equality.

The campaigner has set out plans to picket some of the oil giant's 12,000 petrol stations across the US because the company has so few ethnic minority- owned distributors.

And he is tying the campaign to outrage over the high oil price. This has pushed up energy costs, which, he claims, fall disproportionately on urban residents, including many African Americans.

Judicial Watch has released a report that details the shakedown tactics that have been used by Jesse Jackson and his Chicago-based Rainbow PUSH Coalition against some of the biggest companies in the world.

Jackson’s current target is oil giant British Petroleum. Using one of his almost patented malapropisms, Jackson has informed BP that "We don't want charity, we want parity," as he mouthed a laundry list of what the oil company needs to do in order to get the “Reverend” to go away.

I didn't. But now I do. And the only reason I remember it now is that I sensed something very familiar in Captain Queeg our Dear Leader... in the way he has been analyzing managing triangulating - is tending to - the current opportunity crisis in the Gulf.

I found this in his file folder we keep in the archives here at POWIP. But, no doubt, O'Blameya knows this play by heart. How to extort money from productive employers without spending a dime seems to be a very popular game among... erm... those who haven't produced anything of substance in their entire adult lives.

As they say, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Or, in this case, the bramble.

Is Jackson Watto the Emperor to Obama's Anakin?

Updatex1 - Joe rightly points out that Jackson is more like the character Watto than the Emperor. Correction made.
