Rev. Jesse Jackson continues to push President Barack Obama to make black unemployment more of a priority in his administration.

Jackson, who founded the RainbowPUSH Coalition, talked with theGrio about President Obama’s first year in office.

President Obama recently told talk show host Oprah Winfrey he deserves a “solid B+” for his first 11 months in office.

Jackson instead gave Obama several grades — high praise for pushing health care reform and low marks for strategy in Afghanistan.

He also discussed Obama’s support among African-Americans and offered words of encouragement for Tiger Woods.
