Remember When Van Jones Accused Bill Clinton of "Wagging the Dog?"

OK. I've changed my mind.

Yesterday I said I wasn't going to weigh in on the Van Jones situation.

Today I found THIS and thought it worth noting here.

``This is using dead Third World bodies to cover up his own unzipped pants,'' declared Van Jones, director of Bay Area PoliceWatch, an organization that until now has focused on alleged misconduct by law enforcement officers. Jones spoke at a demonstration at Powell and Market streets in San Francisco that drew 400 people, according to police estimates.

The theme that Clinton took military action to distract public attention from the Monica Lewinsky affair was highlighted in a protester's sign in Palo Alto that read, ``Don't let a wartime incursion be Clinton's diversion.''

Snip...

(Of course) There was scant mention in any of the demonstrations about the events that precipitated Clinton's action: the terrorist bombs that exploded at the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7 that killed 251 Africans and 12 Americans.

I'm still not going to take a stand on the Van Jones "removal." I don't see any reason to. His mere presence among Obama's Czars speaks for itself.

I will say this much, though. Take it for what it is worth... If any PUMA is standing against Jones, and behind the Obama administration on this "dismissal"... I will understand.

(Oh and, I might add, this group of "Czars" in the White House??? Not anything I recognize as coming from *my* party of 30 years.)

Painful As It Is, Sometimes Adults Have to Stand Back and Let The Kiddos FAIL (Plus An Update on Adult U.S. Politics, in Kenya.)

I do not have an opinion on Van Jones. I am deliberately staying away from him as a subject. Cuz, I don’t really care about the media circus surrounding his resignation.

I will say this, though: Mr. Jones' removal from the Green Czar position is yet another symptom of an imploding Obama administration, under the tremendous RW pressure we, PUMAs, always knew was coming.

We tried to warn them. Truly we did. They were clearly going to need us die hard Dems (and yes, even Blue Dawgs) when the shit really began to hit the fan. The BObots knew better. We were all "hillbilly racists" in their book. The “youth” alone would carry this movement for “change.” (With an African American supermajority to help.)

According to Obotian logic, the only reason the RW machine took Bill Clinton down as they did was… cuz he deserved it! And Hillary was “devisive” like Bill. "Triangulators," those two. "Polarizers."

At this point… I’ll leave the Obots on their own to fight the domestic battles I’ve already fought for 30 years+. They can bask in their own, know-it-all, Clinton hating strategies. I wish them well. Really, I do. If they succeed at reasonable Health Care reform, I *may* retire from political activism forever.. and return to nursing.

If not...

After four years of Obama the nation will likely elect Palin. Then, in 2016 we can see what a Palin/Clinton race gets us. I'll be 58 years old then. I'll still have a lot of fight in me, God willing.

Sometimes adults have to stand back and let the kiddos FAIL. It is the only way they can learn. We can watch, and even cry with them. But we can't save them from themselves.

It's too late.

Update: Amidst the kidde-O-Van-Jones media circus... and the school speech/ indoctrination ploy... there was apparently an attempt on the S.o.S.'s life:



And.... now you know what the ADULTS in U.S. Politics are doing! (H/T catinyourhat via pumaeyes.)
