Van Jones, Glenn Beck, Arianna Huffington, And Jimmy Carter Too!

MINCHIA!  Arianna Huffington sure has a thing for Van Jones! Look out Van! BTW: Is anything that Glenn Beck said about Van Jones true? And those audio tapes, containing Van Jones' statements--the ones that Glenn Beck has been playing recently  . . . are they real? I don't know much at all about Van Jones and I haven't been paying much attention to the hoopla.  But if it's true and the tapes are real, then there's no doubt that the presence of Van Jones, in the Obama administration, would be a major hindrance to President Obama's re-election prospects in 2012.

In my independently minded opinion, Van Jones' resignation (whether it was at President Obama's behest or of Van's own choosing) is the only rational political move that the Obama administration could have made if it wants to maintain a Democrat majority in the House and Senate--and if President Obama, himself, wants to get re-elected. I say this because the American voter base (and this includes Democrats more and more every day) is not quite ready to put its faith and confidence in ideologues such as Van Jones that ( if Beck's statements are true and the tapes are real), apparently have a problem with white people messing up the environment.

If Van Jones and members of the Obama administration say stuff like that (about white people messing up the environment) on the record,  out in public, and with no reservation, then American voters have cause for concern, because, in the back of their voter minds, they can't help but wonder what's being said behind the closed doors of  the Obama administration. And along those lines, American voters can't help but wonder if President Obama is in full (or partial) agreement  with guys like Van Jones.

I like President Obama.  However,  I'm sorry to say that, thus far, he's making Jimmy Carter look like a political genius. And we all know the trouncing that good ole Jimmy took and how far the American political pendulum swung to the right after that election.
