Politico:
it was a fresh reminder that the White House's vetting process didn't fall down only on high-profile nominees like Tom Daschle. It barely touched the lower reaches of the administration - a White House official conceded Sunday that Jones' past statements weren't as thoroughly scrubbed due to his relatively low rank. Jones' selection also was propelled by powerful patrons, who included the first lady and the vice president.
Politico also concludes that this shows Obama's opposition is 'really' from the hard right.
Sorry, but there would be NO opposition to rightfully filled positions, as there was MINIMAL to Sotomayor,if qualified people, from SOME SEMBLANCE OF MAINSTREAM AMERICA AND AMERICAN IDEALS were chosen. SOME SEMBLANCE.
People like Van Jones and Lloyd are opposed by the PEOPLE who are paying attention. FACTS ABOUT THESE YUTZES ARE FACTS.
Once FACTS arrived in the public view, there was little issue, was there?
Barack Obama's ideals, carried out via these appointments which avoid congress and sunlight, cannot survive in the light of day. His entire 'fundamental change' and it is, has to be accomplished in the dark or at least dusk, and every time it hits sunlight, it creates sounds and noise, like an exploding vampire.
That's where his opposition comes from, Ben Smith.
Barack Obama is not about the change from a conservative (it wasn't) republican to a liberal (he ain't) democratic administration. It is from the slightly right of center overall to the unamerican, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, Michael Moore, capitalism is evil and therefore so has been america before this, LEFT.
The american people so far do NOT ACCEPT that if you are smart and work hard you owe the rest of us because we say we need you to.
THAT is the underlying opposition to Barack Obama.
Glenn Beck has a microphone, but the majority wish they had his scrutinizing resources today.
BELIEVE IT.
And the blame for that is not with Beck or the right, it is with Barack Obama
