'Kind of late': Jesse Jackson has an astute, belated economic observation

Better late than never? For the time being we’ll just be happy Jackson has finally noticed, but ever coming to the realization is those problems are partly due to the very government programs he supports is too much to hope for.

@RevJJackson Kind of late with that warning. Will the real Rev Jackson, please stand up, please stand up please stand up. Slim Shady.

At that point, he snapped out of it and the Rev. Jackson we’re used to quickly re-emerged:

Now that the government is no longer shutdown, the war on poverty must be revived. 50 million people live in poverty and are food insecure.

Because not enough people are on food stamps or have access to affordable health care, or something.

Update: From a reader:

@TwitchyTeam He's not late, he's just doing his part to blame Obama's anemic economy on anything but Obama policy.

So true!
