Chicopee John Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 White House Green Jobs Adviser: Republicans Are 'Assholes' FOXNews.com Wednesday, September 02, 2009 Van Jones, the Obama administration's "green jobs" adviser, told a group of listeners earlier in the year that the reason Republicans are stonewalling the president is because they're "assholes." Jones' remarks were recorded in a video from February that was posted to YouTube. He made the remark during an energy lecture in Berkeley, Calif., after a woman in the audience asked him why President Obama and congressional Democrats were having trouble moving legislation -- even though Republicans, with a smaller majority, didn't have as much trouble earlier in the Bush administration. "Well, the answer to that is, they're assholes," Jones said, to uproarious laughter. "That's a technical, political science term." The questioner responded, "I was afraid that that was the answer." But Jones said that, even though Obama is "not an asshole," others have to step up the fight. "Now, I will say this. I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The Dems have complete control of the White House, and both houses of Congress, and they still lie about Republicans road blocking them. Note to stupid green weenie: "Blue Dog Dems" are your problem with that, and justly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicopee John Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I say it is easily grounds for dismissal. If it wasn't for who said it, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
