Politically speaking, I cannot in any way imagine what it must be like to be an Afro-American these days. You have the NAACP holding up Van Jones as a "National Treasure" at the same time that the unemployment rates for Black Americans are even worse than the national average of ~10%.
But Jones still has his share of outspoken supporters, and one of them is Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP.
"Van Jones is an American treasure," Jealous writes in an opinion piece posted at CNN.com. "He is quite simply one of the few Americans in recent years to have generated powerful new ideas that are creating new jobs."
Really? I invite even one Afro-American, one Black American to tell me about the "Green Job" they have and how that is putting food on the table. Caveat: if you do landscaping for a business that does not count (although it is a very noble and lucrative business in the South).
Point is: the NAACP is just another Progressive, socialist prop to hold up President Obama in the face of the crushing failure of his administration to do anything for this country and for the people of this country. The NAACP is just selling another potion, but this one is a potion of pure lies!
