Washington, D.C. - Alabama Rep. Artur Davis voted against the health care bill that passed in the House of Representatives. Davis, a Democrat, was the only member of the Black Caucus to do so.

That vote did not go unnoticed. Reverend Jesse Jackson told the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation that "you can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man."

For his part, Davis said, " the best way to honor Reverend Jackson's legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race."

On Thursday night, Jackson says he had spoken with Davis and assured him of his "abiding admiration."

I'm surprised Jesse is not after Artur's NUTS, you can't be a black man and not vote for Healthcare, what Jesse meant to say is you can't be a demoCRAP and not vote for Healthcare. I think little Artur did the right thing for once and voted to save his AS* in his campaign bid. Most Southern whites are against the OBUMMER Healthcare because it is Socialized medicine and Artur would lose all the white support and no chance to get elected. Jesse is just like any of the BLACK Ministers wanting the Government to hand out free medical care NO MATTER what it cost the taxpayers to do so. Jesse is all about getting something for free because he has done it all of his worthless life, this idiot has made a living off the Black race and his money comes from off the backs of every poor Black man and woman out there. Jesse gets the rest of his money from the two BOY'S CLUBS the NAACP and the SCLC where they pay him to open disputes and to shoot his mouth off about all the hate and fear there is still going on in this Country. The only hate and fear there is rolls off Jacksons tounge everytime he opens his mouth. We have a Black President for God's sake and Jesse still wants to play the race game every chance he gets.
