Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. - Democrat from Illinois - presided over a sizable portion of the House's health care debate Sunday. He refereed the debate from the Speaker's chair for much of the debate, a task that has entailed dealing with frequent procedural objections from Republicans, including repeated parliamentary inquiries on all sorts of issues.

His father, Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr., watched his son in action, saying, "I've been impressed." Taking a break from basking in fatherly pride, the elder Jackson took a mosie outside to watch the Teabagger protest. Sam Stein of The Huffington Post videotaped Jackson confronting a mass of Tea Party protesters outside of the Capitol.

One protester yelled at Jackson, "Get a real job, you commie." Another Teabagger cleverly stuck with the important issue at hand (health care) and hollered, "Father another child out of wedlock while you're at it." A black Tea Party protester used a bullhorn to question whether Jackson was there when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Just for the record, the photographic evidence of Jackson's presence accompanies this article. Francesca Harper
