John McCain has an adviser call American's whiny for complaining about the economy and dodges questions about birth control. Either of which had Obama done would have been in the news all day.
Yet what do we hear about? Jessie Jackson saying mean things about Obama and what that means for how Obama is alienating African-Americans.
He said he was going to cut his balls off...? I don't think qualifies as simply "mean" coming from the good reverend.
