No Labor Day Return For Jesse Jackson Jr.? How About By The Election?

No Labor Day Return For Jackson Jr.?
FILE - In this Oct. 16, 2011 file photo, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., is seen during the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. When Jackson disappeared on a mysterious medical leave in June 2012, it took weeks for anyone in Washington to notice. Jackson has never lived up to the high expectations on the national stage. But none of that seems to matter in his district, where hes brought home close to $1 billion in earmarks and other funding and won every election since 1995 in a landslide, despite nagging ethical questions over links to imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The dual roles could help explain why the Democrat has given so few details of his medical leave. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)

So much for a Labor Day return for U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

Now the question is, will he even be back for the November election?

Sneed is told the plan for the ailing congressman, who is being treated at Mayo Clinic for depression and bipolar disorder, to return to work by next week has been scratched.
