Today we have an answer: guilt (I know you thought i was going to say stupidity, but that goes without saying)
As you may recall, gentle reader, the REVEREND Jackson acknowledged fathering a child out of wedlock back in 2001. Well, apparently, Senator Obama's words to a black church on Father's Day struck too close to home: "We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn't just end at conception."
At the time of his acknowledgement, he declared that he has provided "emotional and financial support" since her birth. "As her mother does, I love this child very much". The child's mother paints a different picture. Karin Stanford says her daughter has little or no contact with the Jackson family and even throws a little shade, saying that even if there was contact, it would have to be chaperoned because the family is so dysfunctional.
So there we have it. I am sure Sen. Obama wasn't even thinking of Jesse when he gave that speech, but it appears to have had some effect on at least one father.
Thanks to the Enquirer for the article.

As a Chicago native all I can say is none of this is news. Jackson has a few kids spread around as a family member of mine use to work very close to him (no not like that) during the days of Opeation Breadbasket. Does the phrase "Not even the crack of dawn is safe around this man" mean anything. And yes there is very little acknoledgment of those children on the side.
