When it comes to political appointments, Barack Obama has done one heckuva job. Wouldn't you say? Here's just another fine example. Obama's green jobs czar is a man by the name of Van Jones. He is a civil rights, human rights, and environmental activist. Take a listen to some of the comments Jones had to say about white environmentalists in January of 2008.
Did you catch that?
"Because they don't have a racial justice frame ... white polluters steered poison into minority communities."
Also, earlier this year Jones told an audience that Republicans are blocking Barack Obama's proposals because they are "a**holes." He calls that "a technical, political science term."
Certainly elevating the level of debate there, isn't he? This is the self-described "post-partisan" president appointing jerks like Van Jones to positions of (God help us) power. He's a bigot and doesn't belong in a taxpayer funded job.
