Bank Bailout - Jesse Jackson

I don't always see eye to eye with everything Jesse Jackson does or says, sometimes I think he goes off in a direction way out in left field somewhere. But I have to hail his speech he gave Sunday night at the Detroit NAACP's 54th Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner. He is an insightful person and I praise the fact he is not afraid to speak his mind. His criticisism of the federal bailouts to banks, who in turn gave million-dollar bonuses to executives while urban neighborhoods across the US continue to suffer and jobs are being lost, echos my own. We need more Americans and others whose voice can be heard to speak out also.
