HOUSTON - Jesse Jackson has confided in friends that he hopes Barack Obama loses the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton because he fears Obama is displacing him as head black.To heal the rift, Sen. Obama reportedly is reaching out to Rev. Jackson and has promised that if elected, he will put Jackson in charge of accepting all apologies from racists, a job Jackson has performed informally for several years. A well-placed source in the Obama campaign said that Obama plans to create a cabinet level position for Jackson called Secretary of Racial Apologies. Jackson reportedly is eager to discuss the position with Obama and has sent him a note inviting him to dinner next week in "Hymie Town."
