Quote from drjekyllus:
So Pubix, thinks its okay for the President to have an advisor who is a communist and believes the US government massacred 3000 of its own citizens. Hey Pubix, is there anything Obama can do that you would disapprove of?
Obama is doing lots of things I disaprove of, but I don't care about "cultural issues" that fluff that deals with " small town values", whether he is "one of us", "whether you can have a beer with him", "how much he loves america", etc.
Things Obama does I disaprove of:
CIA fiasco. Leave that in the past, quietly reverse all of Bush's policies without major speeches or going abroad to highlight how stupid america was under bush (it was but don't air dirty laundry for everyone to see)
Letting secured creditors in chrysler get the shaft and be subordinated to unsecured creditors
Not concentrating exclusively on the economy (forget about global warming, cap&trade, unions, healthcare, everything else for now)
Deficit Spending
Punishing financial sector unduly and introducing dumb regulation
etc.
I concentrate on substance, beck concentrates on van jones. Van Jones is irrelevant, he is furniture, he has no power, NONE, so who gives a shit what he believes. Plus I myself don't believe in the official account of 9/11 so if van jones signed that petition (dumb of him to do that) I don't have a problem with it.
Obama is making a serious mistake if he tries to hold on to the guy. yesterday, I read on politico that van jones claimed he did not read the petition he signed fully. That is a lame excuse, he should resign to spend more time with his family.
