Mr. President, I understand you’ll shortly be between jobs. We’re in need of an actual governor here in Illinois. If you run, I’ll be your wingman…

It is too bad Pritzker’s also lining up the Jackson’s (Jonathan Jackson (Jesse’s son/Jr’s brother is the other face of note in picture…))

O/T but the exchange between Jesse Jackson and Obama was one for the books. Not a fan of JJ, but felt sad for the old man when his arm kept reaching for the president long after he had moved on. That gesture kinda says it all…

President Obama: JB, it’s all about ground game, brother. The people of Illinois love me and they will love you too.
While former Governor Pat Quinn slides his hand past the bodyguard, saying: But, I have more experience. The people of Illinois love me.
