Obama’s Kanye Judgment Caught on Tape

Well, this is just fine: some patriotic jester has leaked TMZ an audio clip of Obama calling Kanye West a “jackass.” America needs to listen to this tape and know the truth: Our president is a totally normal dude. While the White House maybe would not have chosen to leak this audio ( or would they ?), the only people who’ll be able to hate on Obama for this tape will be Glenn Beck, and…Glenn Beck. Obama’s agreeing with the Republican position here! As he has in the past! Rappers need to stop acting like jerks! The rest of the tape is just him shooting the shit with the press corps, which also serves him well by fostering the common man’s daydream of maybe hanging out with the prez one day

The Van Jones crib notes: Resignation & previous interview on the stimulus package and green jobs

Just days before his appointment to the White House, Current Green caught up with Van Jones at The Engage Network's Love Wins event, where he answered Goldenone's question, “Now that the stimulus $ is flowing, and I believe $500 million is for green jobs in specific, what's the next step to kick start the green jobs movement?” Just 6 months later we are staring at the headlines of his resignation with a new set of questions: What will happen to the green jobs movement? How will the administration’s decision to let a visionary go without a fight influence it’s younger constituency? Is there a silver lining and will Van Jones find a way to have more influence outside of the walls of the White House?
