Hillary Clinton had a busy day in Atlanta, GA yesterday with two planned events on her schedule. Both were designed to launch her “African Americans for Hillary” group. Her first stop was a luncheon with local and regional clergy, Reverend Frederick Haynes, and some guy named Jesse Jackson.

Alrighty then! If she has the great Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. marching along side her, then everything’s going to be gravy right?? It must’ve been very gratifying to have all their endorsements in her pocket as Hillary headed over to the public rally.

The highlight of her first public visit to Atlanta this campaign was to announce her criminal justice proposals, but the under-card was to be Clinton highlighting the endorsements of Lewis and other influential black leaders who had switched their support from her to Barack Obama in 2008.

Other influential leaders rallying to her side included former NBA player Grant Hill, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, media guru Karen Civil, and Grammy nominated R&B singer Kelly Price. With Congressman John Lewis (D-GA) introducing her, its an absolute certainty that people are just waiting to hear all about Hillary’s great plan for reforming the criminal justice system… right?

Not. So. Fast. As soon as Hillary starting speaking, the rally took an interesting and lively twist.
