It appears the reason high level Obama appointee Van Jones has such a deep seated hatred for America has been found: He was a nerd who was bullied in school and was "always picked last" in team sports.
In an undated interview published at Collage Foundation, Jones spoke of his growing up as a nerd and how he scammed a graduate degree from Yale:
When you were younger, what were you interested in?
I was mainly interested in journalism and poetry and writing. I read a lot of comic books, James Bonda lot of good guy vs. bad guy type of stuff. I was a big 'Star Wars' fanÉI played a lot of strategy board games—I was basically a nerd.
Do you see any connection between that and the work you ended up doing?
Definitely—when I was younger I was really small and I was always picked last for Phys. Ed, sports teams and stuff. I was a bully magnet, so I grew up with a really strong hatred for bullies and people who abuse their power.
SNIP
I had a professor who encouraged me to apply to Harvard and Yale [for law school], which was almost unheard of for students coming from the kind of public schools that I was coming from in the rural South. I was accepted to both places, and decided to go to Yale because Yale didn't have any grades and was smaller than Harvard. I figured, once I enroll I'm guaranteed to graduate, so I can just go and be a radical hellraiser student, and they can't do anything about it. Which is pretty much what happened.
Jones also spoke about going to undergraduate school and getting internships and scholarships based on being Black:
I went to college on a minority scholarship. All my internships were minority internships...
So there you have it. Another tyrant working out his childhood issues on America.
One down, more to go. Good shooting Glenn Beck.
Thanks Kristinn....
Did the rest of you see this?
No surprise-----this is what passes for education today.
Any dope w/ a diversity angle is handed a degree ..........without knowing a thing.
(Shiver) Diversity doctors ........

The joker must have been looking in the mirror when he picked this guy....

Why am I not astonished? I always said that even if 0b0z0 were born in HI and a national born citizen, we should see his other records.
I always wondered if 0b0z0 ever graduated other than pieces of paper that show bad GPAs as an Affirmative Action “degrees” with Yale, Occidental or what have you on the title.
I strongly suspect that his records are embarrassing, not only to him as president and a person, but also to the MSM fawning on 0b0z0's brilliance! LOL

Go figure...
Big whoop. I was a nerd, always picked last for team sports (for the perfectly good reason that I was somewhat uncoordinated and had trouble judging things like the fly of a ball, until I got glasses.
But I was not bullied. I'm kinda large and I do fight back. Although I only had to do that twice, one of guys I fought back is now a buddy. Haven't got a clue who the others where, it was a long time ago and they sort of faded away when I got right back in their faces when they thought picking on the underclassman would be fun.
Instead of hating my country, I chose to serve her.
44 Czars in DC my friend,
44 Czars in DC! Take one down pass him around,
43 Czars in DC!

National born -————> Natural born

Most fo the nerds I knew who did not excell at team sports excelled in other areas, especially academics. They got their share of college money, too, and as a rule are laughing now. It appears Van Jones is just an all-around loser.
Even the radical leftists dind’t want to be associated with him.
Sickening.
He objects to the very thing he is - a bulley!
I can’t stand liberal hypocrisy and bullying.
Yes, he is.
They have the same victim mentality.
Jones gives more details.
