Jessie Jackson Jr. “Mood Disorder” May End Career

Mrs Jackson was right. ‘We don’t believe a darn thing until we see it’, so ‘you’re going to have to show us’, or tell us the truth.

At first we were told that the problem was “exhaustion”. That obviously wasn’t the truth, and then we were told that Jessie Jackson Jr’s “physical and emotional ailments” were “more serious” than initially thought. Now his father, Jessie Jackson Sr., has said “we hope that he’ll be fully restored to his health”

We are done with the lies and secrecy surrounding Jessie Jackson Jr’s condition.

If Mr. Jackson is really that “unwell” and his “mood disorder” or health is bad enough to keep him away from his job for months at a time, especially at this critical time, maybe Mr. Jackson needs to think about giving up his seat in the House of Representatives. He owes that to his constituents.

The mystery surrounding Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., deepened on Tuesday as speculation swirled around the Illinois Democrat’s health and political future.

John Bryson Resigns Commerce Secretary Post

We sincerely hope that Commerce Secretary John E. Bryson is OK, if what caused the multiple accidents actually was a seizure.

It seems likely that a seizure could have caused Bryson to get into the quick succession of car accidents, and may have prevented him from using his better judgement to stay at the scenes of the accidents, but not a certainty, as far as the public knowledge is concerned.
