Van Jones: Obama let the tea party ‘set him up’ by being ‘so bipartisan’ [VIDEO] The Daily CallerBy Nicholas Ballasy | The Daily Caller – 7 mins ago
Reflecting on President Barack Obama’s first term, former Obama administration advisor Van Jones said the president “let his opponents,” specifically the tea party, “set him up” by being “so bipartisan.”
“There’s a lot of economic pain out there, and progressives don’t have organizations and campaigns that speak to that economic pain,” said Jones, adding that the tea party “figured” this out before any other group.
“They [tea party] understood that people were sitting on a white hot stove out there, and if Democrats weren’t going to point at the financial elites, they were going to point at the government elites,” said Jones during a discussion at the Center For American Progress about his book, Rebuild The Dream, on April 20. “Somebody got to get blamed, and part of the problem with the president was by being so bipartisan and trying to not, you know, try to be one country about everything, he let his opponents set him up.”
“So, there he is, standing there with a whole bunch of problems next to him, now he’s either a UN rescue worker or the unabomber, right? I mean, what is he? Is he the person that caused it, or is he the person who’s fixing it? Well, if you can’t, in that same frame, point to the person who’s causing it, it’s easy for you to get set up and that’s what happened to him.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Is there a timeline list of Hussein’s biggest whoppers and rebuttals, including this and his CREATION of 2 million jobs?
ESPECIALLY if it's telling the truth. "Progressives" are bad at the truth - even their chosen title is a lie.
...and that means the finger gets pointed at the wrong place.
Since the finger never gets pointed at liberals, I'd say he's right.
Hold the video please
“There’s a lot of economic pain out there, and progressives don’t have organizations and campaigns that speak to that economic pain,” said Jones, adding that the tea party “figured” this out before any other group.
Obama doesn’t have organizations and campaigns set up to speak to the economic pain because he is busy taking over the country. He has campaigns and organizations in place and money to back him (soros, hollywood et al)he is just using it to further his agenda not to help the economy. A moron (excepting the leftists/marxests could figure out it out) It is not exclusive to the Tea Party.
Well.... the first thing out of Barry’s mouth was...”I won.”
Oh, yes, Obummer really displayed his bi-partisanship by ramming his “porkulus” bill, the GM and Chrysler bailouts and ObamaCare through Democrat-controlled congress with few to no Republican votes. In fact, Republicans were not allowed to even offer amendments to these bills.
Good lord almighty in heaven...the left has a thousand organizations for every idiotic cause, victim group and newly minted outrage of the day...it's what they do. They're a 24/7, non-stop "symbolic gestures" factory with a "raising awareness" media distribution complex.
Suck it Obama, you will lose this election in November by a lanslide NEVER before seen in the history of this Nation and every white American will forever be called “racist” for voting against this incompetent socialist!
How can he stand still with his pants on fire?
Oh, the things not said.
Thank you for admitting that OWS, which was a progressive campaign addressing economic pain, is a failure.
Oh, no; OWS will only be a “success” if it becomes the MOB that infiltrates the Tea Party rallies and disrupts them, you know, cracks a few elderly skulls and all the wonderful things that a well trained and organized, well-funded brownshirt militia armed with pipes and broken bottles can do for their master, Obama.
2 Million jobs??? The libtards at PMSMBC and CNN are touting 6 million jobs created by Obozo.
Yes... he is Bipartisan....Socialist and Communist...
bitch set me up...
The black DNC motto from coast to coast.
Van Jones is one crazy Ni**a.
Thanks, had not heard that.
Last Thursday, I couldn’t even find the unemployment RATE published.
Almost hard to believe decision-makers in Big Media can live with themselves or sleep at night with all their hate and deliberate lies.
