America:

Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had!

Ya been took!

Ya been hoodwinked!

Bamboozled!

Led astray!

Run amok!

Thanks for ping and article, RobinMasters.

The very last line by VDH a classic.

“Once upon a time the people deluded themselves into thinking a suave extremist was to be their nuts-and-bolts centrist. Now they don’t know whether to be mad at him or themselves — or both.”

Not a one wants to admit they have been duped.

One of the most pointed notions Krauthammer relayed was that because Valerie Jarrett and Obarak Obama are so steeped in radicalism, they viewed Van Jones as more mainstream! ... They did not perceive Jones as all that radical from their perspective. As Rush says, Van Jones IS what the administration is all about.

So many voters are in need of an excuse as to why they voted for this affirmative action bastard, it is good to see the excuses arising now, now that this fraud-in-chief is being exposed for the radical racist commie he is. It remains to be seen if the vast unwashed will take the cue and resoundingly reject this prick in the Oval Office and his hench goon czarista regime.

“...vast unwashed will take the cue and resoundingly reject this prick in the Oval Office and his hench goon czarista regime.”

I think the assertiveness training class that you took has worked. =)

Well said.

Exactly!

Bammy knows full well that green jobs are not really jobs...and that is why he hired Van Jones. Check this out...

“Green jobs are not economic jobs but political jobs, designed to funnel vast sums of taxpayer money to left-wing labor unions, environmental groups, and social justice community organizers.”

Jones was not about creating jobs, he was about snowballing a revolution he and Obammy have wet dreams over: Hear Jones explain his revolution, dreaming of it being bigger than the civil rights movement/revolution
