The Reverend Jesse Jackson has apologised for rude and vulgar comments he made about Barack Obama which he says he didn't realise were being recorded.
As he waited to give a television interview, Mr Jackson was overheard accusing the presidential candidate of "talking down to black people".
He also said: "I want to cut his nuts off". The comments have sparked outrage among African-American voters, with Jackson's own son calling his comments "ugly".
