CNN

you will not die now, u will live to see obama in white house. god will help u.

I hope he doesn't die before seeing the first non-white man to win the US presidency.

Maybe he was trying to digest the drivel coming from the Republican convertion.

Maybe now he will really start PRAYING instead of PREYING.

He's a pain anyway!

He's a pain anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHat happend???????? He got a stomach after he got caught with a Hypocrite Mouth in an live mic and found out no one liked his comment...............Oh Well Feel Well Hypocrite

Take some Maalox and get some rest, Jesse.

Get well and hang in there sir!

I understand, Jesse. Working for Obama would make me sick, too.

No matter what your opinion is of Mr. Jackson, he is a civil rights legend. Beyond that he is a human being. Save your bile and become a speechwriter for the GOP.

Be well Jesse.

the Lord works in mysterious ways. will pray for your health, and know that GOD will forgive what you said about senator obama.

We in Chicago are surprised that Jesse developed stomach problems. Usually that's a symptom of someone who's under pressure or duress of some sort. For a man who's never held a job, I'm surprised it's his stomach that's giving him problems and not hemorrhoids for sitting on his butt all these years.

Get well soon. We want to see you smiling and waving to say that you are okay.

1.) Does 'JJ' still make his living by extortion of money from corporations under threat of 'boycott'?
2.) Will CNN delete this posting because they fear Rev JJ's retaliation?

I think he looking for some attention. It doesn't sit well when your out of the know.

I wish Jesse a speedy recovery. Politically Jesse Jackson is almost a relic. Still, but for Jesse and folks like him there would be no Barack Obama or, for that matter, Hillery Clinton or......even Sarah Palin. He played an important part in this nation's development. Maybe not as important as he thinks sometimes but important nevertheless.

May God bless him and restore his health.

I agree with Jackson, Obama needs to grow some balls.

To those who say: "he has stomach pains, so what".

He wouldn't be hospitalised if he there wasn't real concern about his health. Ulcers, cancers et cetera are far too common (and deadly) not to worry about them.

Let's hope Jesse Jackson, a hero to so many people, and a champion on their behalf, will be with us for a long time to come.

He makes me sick to the stomach also!

I'd have to agree with Election Watcher. It wouldn't be in good taste for anyone to let politics insight insults on those who aren't well. This shouldn't be on the ticker.

My PRAYERS r with u. (Yup, democrats do pray).

Although he is not my favorite person. I have many issues with him as his preceived role of being the spokes person for black people. I do however wish him a very speedy recovery and will keep him in my prayers.

One of the Biggest Black Leader of today thinks Obama won't make good President! Why do Blacks in this Country hate anyone that know's what good for thier people?? McCain and Palin will win!!

KA, we DON'T care about you (sorry) but I'm sure that we all hope that this stomach ache will disappear quickly. The sooner, the better.

Keep Hope Alive. Get well Jesse!

Like many others, I don't always agree with Jesse Jackson. But enough of that. As human beings we should always extend our best wishes to our fellow human beings who are ill and/or in pain. And we better be sincere about it too. Our words of solidarity should not be empty, ot they wouldn't mean anything.

Get well soon, Reverend, so we can disagree some more

As a white woman, and a life long democrat, who has seen the good that Rev. Jackson has tried to bring into this world, I wish him and his family all the best.

Look, Jesse, you've got to get better so you'll be strong and healthy on January 20 next year to see the fruition of all those years of the struggles. God bless and keep you.

Get well soon Jesse! And please, no political attacks here...

AND HOW IS THIS NEWS......WOW MY STOMACH HURTS ARE YOU GOING TO POST IT ON THE NET.........FOR CHRIST SAKE IT'S A STOMACH ACHE!!!!

Get Well Soon Reverend Jackson. Our prayers are with you.

Prayers to Jesse Jackson.

Poor Jessie, he was in Atlanta helping Nobama's campaign, no wonder he developed a tummy ache, who wouldn't...

Poeple this no time to push your own agenda Rev Jackson GET WELL SOON this country is more the better with you around.

God don't like ugly. Maybe you shouldn't go against Obama, because you will never accomplish what Obama has. Who is missing their baseballs now!

who gives a big rats petui

God be with him...

Obama/Biden '08

I blame his sickness on the white majority.

I was shocked at Sarah Palin's condescending attitude, she was totally unladylike in her behavior.I my opinion she does not represent the
values most women in this country. I question her family values,her
son is a high school drop out, her daughter is dating a man who is
openly a red neck. as a matter of fact on his facebook page. we
deserve better than that in the white house.

Jesus! Could some of you haters please tone it down for one minute and keep your bile to yourselves? Jesse isn't a perfect individual, and you don't have to heap praise on the man, but to actually wish death on him, and your lame, snide little remarks reveals more about you than it hurts him. Your God is watching; do you think He is amused?

By the way of the holy spirit, according to the word of God and he send his word to heal this is my prayer for the Rev. Jackson,may God bless he and his family.

Mrs. Palin has 5 children when she goes running around town who will see about the children, thats why her daughter is having a baby out of wedlock. Biblical women are to stay in the home and train up the children. She needs not bad mouth Senator Oboma, Jelousey is all over her, Senator Oboma is BLESS.

Obama is not smart enough to distance himself from this man. Jesse Jackson is a racist plain and simple. This has nothing to do with the election except to try and steal the thunder from the RNC. Nice try Jesse.

Get well soon sir.
You have done a lot more good even though you're human and stumble every once in a while, just like we all do.

Quick recovery!

Jesse Jackson, being a figurehead for the Black community should really watch himself, or duck out of the public eye. His slanderous comments are inappropriate and hurtful to his reputation. Yes, it is alarming that he was hospitalized, but maybe he should take it as an opportunity to re-evaluate his public image.

Ya know, this article has NOTHING to do with Barack Obama. Jesse Jackson is Jessie Jackson. I hope he gets well and all, but I hardly see how this is news. Plus didn't Jesse Jackson just say some distasteful things about Mr. Obama lately? CNN you need to get it together and stop trying to be cute. Just because they are both black and "politicians" doesn't mean that one has anything to do with the other. I gotta say this, CNN is a hell of a lot better than FOX!!!!

Rev. Jesse Jackson,

I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 1:2-4

God bless

I am not voting for John McCain because I don't like him. I think its a chemistry thing. There is something about him that I detest. I find Barack Obama more likeable and personable. He has mastered the english language with more dignity than McCain has. McCain is not a good communicator and because he is such a "kooky outsider like Palin" he is untrustworthy. Do you trust him taking us into the "forbidden third realm" of the "third party " which he politically flirts with. I am old fashioned and I like old fashioned politics.

Barack must be giving him heart burn.

I hope Jesse's condition leaves him feeling happy and energetic, with a side of mute.

for the folks who were so blatently nasty about this information...
Jesse Jackson has been a huge part of our political lives, the movement for Civil Rights and much more for almost 50 years He is indeed a national figure. So yes it's great to let people know.

Too bad Jackson is ailing.......but sure glad we don't have to listen to the guy!

Who cares!

Maybe he should blame it on slavery. He blames everything else on that.

get well!!!!

i hope he gets well soon....

So what! Maybe he looked in the mirror and got a stomach ache at his own reflection! Oh, is this mic on???

Tom in Delaware........................... You got it right with you comment. I didn't think Obama wanted Jesse to help in his run for the president. Isn't that what Obama told all of us. Here we go....flip flip flip.....

Stay well Jessee, we need you!
Peace & Love

Run Jessie run. Get well soon.

Maybe his stomach needs pumped after all the sucking up he has done to a man he did not like a month ago.

At least Jesse has the courage to admit his stress that the revitalized GOP ticket has imposed on his plans. NObama and Biden have the same feeling, but they simply sent out their hatchet MEN to badmouth what any reasonable person would say was an admirable showing by Palin. If they really believed that McCain-Palin were weak opponents, they'd be back in Hawaii drinking tropical cocktails and having a good old laugh for themselves. Their reaction to Palin's surge defies their words. They are scared stiff and rightly so.

He badly needed some attention !!

Ok !
Get well and go home....

I hope it is not very serious. My prayers go to Reverend Jackson and his whole family. May God help you recover quickly.

I wish Jesse a speady recovery and God blessing. We need him to turn out the vote in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi

GOD BLESS

Reverend? yeah, and I'm the Pope...

I wish noone ill will, but there's nothing blogworthy about this except to:
1) Wish him well
2) insult him
3) somehow tie this in a snide comment about Obama
4) somehow tie this in a snide comment about Clinton
5) somehow tie this in a snide comment about McCain
6) somehow tie this in a snide comment about Palin
This is newsworhty, but not for the ticker.

Hurry up and get better, we need another laugh.

Run Jessie run...get well soon.

I'm sending Well wishes to you Jesse. I hope you feel better soon.

ProudDemocrat, Black people NEEDS you healthy? Since when is Jesse Jackosn & Al Sharpton king & queen of the entire black race? They do not represent the morals, values, beliefs and ideals of all people of color. Proud Democrat you about sum it up, what happened? Democrats cut your schools funding?

All best wishes for a quick recovery.

Jesse is not feeling so hot....He and Rev. Sharpton are officially irrelevant and out of a job if Nobama wins.

WHO CARES?

oh ryan....good one

That was before Sarah Palin spoke! That was what made me sick.

If you want to make the ticker and steal thunder from the convention is to do it right and go meet your maker.!!!!!

Go to a non for profit hospital and you won't have to pay your bill. Because they can not turn away the homeless.

maybe his stomach hurts because he ate someones balls after he cut them off

This is the same Jackson that wanted to remove Obama's manhood? If I were Obama, I'd have him as far away from my campaign (and my nether region) as possible. Not wishing him ill will but as a dem, I have lost all respect for him. I think his true side was shown in that interview clip and he is only out for himself and not the African-American community. Hope he gets well but it's going to take more than what he has shown for me to wish him success after his comments. Obama doesn't need him.

Our prayers go out to Rev Jackson and his family.

HOPE U GET WELL SOON

Sarah Palin scared him to death-–he couldn't handle seeing a real woman skewer Obama to the core-

McCain/Palin 08'

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

I never agreed with a thing the man said...but I wish him a speedy recovery just the same

McCain/Palin 2008

Get Well Soon!

Hey CNN,

Can you please tell me why this story is filed under Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson going to the hospital has very little to do with Barack Obama.

I wish just one of the big media outlets would say... "you know what, the American people deserve to have a media outlet that is not biases. It's a shame, America and the American people are being destroyed by the media who is more concerned about ratings than the viewers who provide those ratings

GOD HELP US ALL!!!!

Jesse, PLEASE GET WELL SOON AND NOW!!

You are the original trail blazer. I am still sad that Barack Omaba refused to allow you to speak at the convention. He is not one of us any way. Selfish Uncle Sam. One day we shall see a real black running and winning the presidency.

VOTE HAROLD FORD 20012

Hope he feels better.

But, may be he is alergic to..... Nuts

That happens when you're fed too much republican b.s.
Get well Jesse.

Oh please who cares? What's this to take away from the McCain coverage tonight?

If I were a Democrat I would be sick also, after seeing the powerful genuine next VP last nite..

Blessings to you and family during this time.... We are praying and believing that this is a brief pause on your journey and you will come out of this even more dedicated to the cause of justice. Aggie Pride!

Too much to digest during these past few months!

McCain should change his slogan to "Me, McCain First" not Country First

May God keep you in his embrace.

Get well soon...

Now he knows how the rest of the world feels when he opens his mouth.

Speedy recovery Rev.

give me a break he makes the news with a upset stomach wha wha wha go home and take some tums

Sir, you are in our thoughts.

Now the good Reverend finally knows how we feel about him.

Quick, somebody get Rev. Al Sharpton to Chicago to hold a press conference because surely this is yet another example of the white man doing something to keep the African Americans down! Someone has to speak for Jesse since he is laid up!

Last night made me pretty sick too.

How ironic. This man has been a pain in everyone's butt for years.

He must have eaten some bad moose stew.

"Albatross" Jesse Jackson please get well soon.

But no more "hot mikes."

Gosh! I guess he heard the news about Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and fiqured that even he and Al Sharpton couldn't get that guy off!

Get Well Jesse...you're one of the most powerful tools the Republican Party's got!

He must have heard Palin's speech.

Recover quick sir!

Maybe he did snipped off Obama's gonads and had them for lunch and it didn't agree with him?

Never liked your politics but God Speed Rev.

Get well soon buddy!!!

Governor Palin's speech must have scared him too!!!

McCain/Palin '08

Get well soon Rev. Football MOMs are praying for you. Football MOMs are the best, they come out in rain,hail sleet, sno, heat and they have to explain the game to the stupid other MOMs. Don't listen tonight if you want to get well.
Obama08

Our Prayers are with you Jessie.

God Bless

Get well soon Mr. jackson...you have alot of racial remarks yet to make.

He has viral gastroenteritis (an inflamation of the stomach and intestines) and he should be fine. I believe the worst of his discomfort is over. Get some rest, Rev.!

Hope all is well for Reverend Jackson.

He must've gotten them after watching Palin's speech...I'll admit, I too threw up in my mouth watching and hearing her...she's a sickening woman.

Nothing that a dose of cowbell can't cure!

Rev Jackson

Get well soon, so you may see Gov Palin do to Obama what you could only wish for!

How you going to pay for your hospital bills, Jesse? You've been unemployed for decades.

i am ticked that soledad keeps pushing on apparent hypocrisy of palin by putting the boyfriend in the pictures and yet wanting privacy; as somene else said palin would hve been in trouble if they excluded the boy friend and/or bristol. Soledad, you are off base.

Prayers are with you all over the world, Jesse.

I developed stomach pains shortly after hearing Sarah Palin's speech at the RNC last night. It could be gas, but I took no chances and checked myself into the hospital for routine tests. I ask that the press and media please respect the privacy of my family at this trying time.

Rev Jackson, you are in our thoughts.

get well soon, we need your insights to drive the thugs out of washington.

Rev Jackson,

Despite some of the mean-spirited comments in this thread, I pray God is with you and will heal you according to his will.

He must have swallowed some of that victimization bile he's been preaching at blacks for 30 years now. African-Americans desperately need empowering leaders to emerge. Jackson, and Obama, obviously are them..

Our best wishes and prayers are with you Reverend Jackson.

You've been through the good, the bad and the ugly enough times to know that you have our support through this tough time as well.

Speedy recovery Rev. Jackson......

Get well Rev. Jackson!!!

We are praying for you Jesse – get well soon!

It's no secret (thanks to an open mic) that working for Obama makes Jesse sick to his stomach.

Hope the next news about him will be better. I will go to church today to pray for him.

Take an alka-seltzer and get back to work....

And why is this deemed important by anyone????

God bless you Reverand Jackson. I am so glad you got to attend Obama's nomination speech last week before falling ill. You are one of the great icons that have made this new day possible. Get well soon!

Feel better Rev Jackson....

God Bless you Rev. Take good care of yourself.
-----------------------------
OBAMA says : God Bless America and every place in the world
MCCAIN says : God Bless America and no place else
Now decide : Who is the World Leader ???
OBAMA / BIDEN (2008 -16)

I had stomach pains after I heard Palin's speech too. God help us all if this gets in power. John McCain isn't going to around that long, but
the way Palin is poping those babies out she'll be around a long time,
and ruin the country as Bush did.

How soon Obama supporters forget Jackson's "I'd like to cut his nuts" comments...

Get well soon Rev. Jackson

My prayers go out to the Rev. Jackson, and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

God speed.

Get well Rev

It's probably just gas.

God bless you Reverend Jackson. We care.

Get well, soon, Reverend.

Why does this story make the ticker, but not this update on the Palin scandal:

"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the running mate for GOP presidential candidate John McCain, wrote e-mails that harshly criticized Alaska state troopers for failing to fire her former brother-in-law and ridiculed an internal affairs investigation into his conduct."

God speed and get back to work soon.

I hope it's nothing serious!

I'm former DEM,then INP now REP,have admired Rev Jackson for over 40 yrs,pray for his health.

should be acute myocardial infarction.

Hope nothing serious...maybe just food poisoning or ulcer. Please God...heal his body.

I was never a fan of his but hope he feels better and wish him well.

Get better big guy. There are a lot of different political tensions in this race for the White House. One of those we didn't need was the way Jackson felt about Obama. However, both men said they're peace. I hope after seeing how bitter the republicans were last night, we see how easily it is to resort to petty politics. Let's use this moment to remind ourselves that are goals for America are closer than our differences.

Who cares.

SO!!!

who?????????? cares

Get well rev.!!!!!!!!!

Get well Rev. From an African American who lives among whites who love you as much as the black community does, get well. God bless.

Get well, Reverend Jackson, you're in our prayers.

I hope it's nothing serious. Praying for his speedy recovery. Maybe he had lunch with Obama.

Prayers being said for you, Reverend Jackson, with anticipation for benign findings as the source of your pain.

Please know I admire you, and am hopeful you will continue to lead us by reminding all of the need for continued social support for all ages (babies, youth, teens, middle age and older age) in our very diverse country.

this is related to politics?

Palin and the other Republicans made me sick enough last night to need to go to the hospital too!!

Hope you feel better! We'll keep the flame (and the pucks) going for Obama!

HOCKEY MOMS FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like a gall bladder issue..or peptic ulcer.
God's speed in your recovery

Get well soon Rev.

HILLARY 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure the "Reverend" is reviewing his life thus far and thinking about the day when he has to reckon with God Almighty. When a person is older and hospitalized, they have a lot of time to think about that.

Get Well Soon Obama/Biden 08

Get well

Its probally just Gas apins from Watching Palins horrible speech last Night.

He must have watched the convention last night. I was feeling it, too.

Get well Reverend Jackson.

MAY GOD BE AT YOUR SIDE . GET WELL SOON.
THOUGHT AND PRAYERS

Get well soon !!!

Speedy recovery.

Get well!!!!

Get well soon.

Feel better!

Maybe he was listening to Palin's voice. The pitch, the accent...yikes. Over the next 2 months it won't matter what she's saying because everybody will be reaching for the "mute" button.

Get well soon Jesse – praying that you have a speedy recovery!

I didn't know he was 66! Get well soon!

I'm praying for a full and speedy recovery.

Get well soon Jackson black people needs you healthy, this is a very crucial time. May God heal you soon.
