i cant understand him at times :O)

[Diosibundo]

Wow. Jesse is a bit of a dim lightbulb at this table.... get Dyson back on, quick!

[jjac401]

Is it just me - but I didn't hear Jesse answer the question he was asked.

Jesse already had his speach though out and immediately went there.

He could of at least answered the question!

[ImaginedWriter]

Jesse is irrelevant today, it's all about Black political, business,educational and social leaders. And the churchmen aren't in any of the groups.

[bhossast]

Hooray for the Church Foreclosures.

Tavis: WHY must the President ASK YOU what you must do . . . to help yourself/ourselves . . .!?? What is the matter with you? Is Obama a Messiah?

He said: "WE are the Ones WE'VE been waiting for!!"

That means move your ASS and get doing what you MUST . . . You don't NEED HIM to TELL YOU what you must DO!??

I HATE this supplication BS!

I'll tell you this much - If you get started and take it a critical mass and momentum Obama WILL back your ass up!

But he is on

[spentube01]

Much respect, but I have the same facial expression ( 5:15 ) trying to understand what he is saying.

[SugarCoatedMorphine]

He was really good though considering idk being the age of idk 68 lmfao.

[davidgoodlettmusic]

Jesse is on point. The Black agenda is the Moral agenda. We have historically been the healing force of the nation.

[Xelanderthomas]

"the lost sheep agenda!" that's sad. a sad way to see yourself

[Pnobronx]

Jesse started off with the target at hand but somewhere he made a left turn. I don't understand why some can't follow because his left turn was clear on what he wanted to talk about.
