Now that he is president, events and reality are conspiring to reveal his true character. As Krauthammer said (video link), the Van Jones affair revealed Obama and his closest advisers for what they are...radicals, racists, kooks!
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.
