"Green Czar Resigns; Obama Administration Smacked in the Face" (Japan breaking news, my translation)
Asahi Shimbun (original in Japanese) ^ | 7 September 2009 | Toshihiko Katsuta

Posted on 09/06/2009 7:52:12 PM PDT by AmericanInTokyo

Original in Japanese: グリーン雇用」提唱者、米特別顧問辞任 政権に打撃

My translated synopsis:

Reporter Mr. Katsuta from Washington reports for Asahi Shimbun news that the one person who asserted "Green Jobs" for the Obama Administration, Mr. Van Jones, has resigned. He was in charge as a special advisor to the President for Environmental Quality....right in the middle of President Obama's declining popularity as being hit on his health care reform policies, comes this resignation. As for the Obama Administration, this development has all the trappings of being a new smack in the face. ....Jones had signed on to a petition questioning the culpability of previous President Bush in the September 11th terrorist attacks...also recently discovered were Jones' nasty comments toward Republicans. With criticism from the Republicans and others, Jones was forced into an apology."

End of my translation.

There have been some recent rumblings — from the left — about possible challenging Obama in 2012.

Even some of the most Obama-ite newsies are starting to frown at some of Obama’s actions.

These do not bode well for Obama, as they are coming from HIS side, his supporters.

I would be interested if in Japan this “loss of face” that Obama is going through does change the nations view of America.

Political sepuku,(correct my spelling)is what Jones did, not ceremoniuosly but never the less by his exposure of his past and the publics enlightenment it apparently became too tenuous to keep him around, Jones was creating too much Communistic anger for the Whitehouse.

And that is indeed a danger to Obamas goals to change America, it must be done as quickly as possible before the people realize whats happening, problem was too many people now hear the burglars in the house and are not waiting to call the police.

That was interesting.. Sounds like the liberal newspapers in Japan aren’t quite like the ones here.

I adore that article.

“President Pantywaist’s recent world tour, cosying up to all the bad guys, excited the ambitions of America’s enemies. Here, they realised, is a sucker they can really take to the cleaners. His only enemies are fellow Americans. Which prompts the question: why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly?”

The hard-core lefties—sorry, progressives—are turning on him, calling him gutless, worse than Dubya, etc. But the personality cult followers are still in love with him just as much.

To: All
With one of the enemy's advance MIGs downed, pilot ejected, and all our fighters back safely, a post-mission de-brief back at the base:

Cognizant of it or not, IRONICALLY, AND THIS WILL DRIVE SENATOR OBAMA BONKERS, WE TOOK WHOLE SECTIONS OUT OF SAUL ALINSKY'S BOOK AND APPLIED IT WITH GREAT SUCCESS IN VAN JONES' CASE.

I wholeheartedly recommend we perfect these tactics and adopt them in the next cases: Mark, Cass, Valerie and the rest of the whole rotten statist, elitist crew in D.C. (and their replacements if they don't get the message the first time we, the People, are serious).

Sound familiar?:

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract (socialist organizations) or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

How great would it be to have a beer company own a newspaper? Miller Times, Budweiser Gazette, Sam Adams Liberty-Post.
