Van Jones Urges Progressives To Fight For EPA, Stand Up To Banks And Big Oil (VIDEO)
Thursday, November 11, 2010
If Van Jones wanted what we all thought we were getting when we put Obama and Democrats into power, he would be joining those who are only doing what Obama told us we were going to have to do.
During the 2008 campaign, Obama told people that they had to stay involved after the election, that they couldn't just vote for him, go away for four years and expect that he would do what they had hoped. He said that there were powerful interests working against what the people wanted, and if We The People wanted Obama to do our bidding, we would have to MAKE HIM DO IT.
Obama's 'most ardent supporters' forget that those of us who criticize Obama are only doing what he warned us needed to be done: NOT to trust him.
Since the election (and even before, with his FISA vote), Obama's given us every reason to distrust and doubt him. He's been deceptive, breaking every campaign pledge and promise, conceding the positions of the left (getting nothing in return), and hobbling real Democrats at every turn while making Republicans and Blue Dogs stronger (and harder to beat in 2010 and 2012).
Obama's 'most ardent supporters' (like Van Jones, and other alleged 'progressives') are the most immediate problem, as they help Obama screw us all over. Until they wake up, they are their own (and our) worst enem!es, and the reason we don't get what we all thought we were voting for when we voted Obama and Democrats into office as the majority power in our government.
