"Why would he say something like THAT?! Trial balloon? Maybe he knows something that most people have already figured out about this guy."
It is a very strange comment for sure. Don't know why he would even go that route unless...

"Kinda’ think that we’re being set up for the eventual showing of a Brietbart video of our impostor in chief being shown as a pillow biter. Thus, he can come out and hope the furor dies down. Isn’t this man-child something?"Bump. But if the videos or whatever are recent, as in Reggie Love or his young hollywood star that he "kept" for a while in DC, THEN he has a problem with a lot of "folks"...using one of his favorite folksy words.
I think that when he sang that Al Green song line "I'm so in love with you," he was sending a message to Reggie...he was missing him and couldn't otherwise communicate with him lest he be exposed.

Well, this story may fade away as most negative stories about Obama tend to do. But it was an interesting remark from Jones - considering that he was smiling when he said it. Ah, the arrogance!
To: Jedidah
He could take a crap on their collective heads and not lose their vote!

I thought gay was supposed to be a good thing.
Now he sort of admits that maybe it isn't. Not cool anyway.

" I thought gay was supposed to be a good thing.Now he sort of admits that maybe it isn't."Yep. It's like saying "Even if Obama came out as a bank robber...."
Jones sounds like he's stating something negative...something that if it WEREN'T true he'd sound homophobic by all counts. And he most certainly wouldn't want to sound like that unless he NEEDED to...because he needed to soften the blow of the gay truth.

Anyone know Van Jones’ “predilections”?
Blacks may not care if Bath-House Barry is a pansy, BUT...they might care that other gay men that knew Barry personally may have met with untimely deaths.

SCOTUS is not all powerful, and it does not have the final say.
HE ALREADY HAS! Look at the African-American unemployment rate!

The mask is off now that “my people” Holder’s DoJ is openly and blatantly practicing racism. No more “why can’t we all just get along”. That meme has outlived its usefulness, only naive whites haven’t gotten the message. They’re too busy voting for “America’s Next Greatest Dancing Survivor” or something.

I think Obama could even come out as white and still win the black vote.

Barry wouldn’t lose the majority of the Black vote even if he was a grand wizard of the KKK...
