Van Jones at Netroots Nation
UI asked in the Open Thread if anyone saw this while it was live streamed earlier today. This is smart and compassionate and fun and hugely inspirational for bloggers and other netizens. Worth taking the time to watch:
Most of Netroots Nation is being live streamed, for folks interested in the keynotes or the panels.

From dKos:
My reaction:
1. Who the f**k is Van Jones?
2. Obama kisses rightwing ass instead of boldly supporting a Democratic agenda. It hurts the agenda, it hurts the economy, and it hurts our chances in November. Fix that first before you ask me to clap louder.
I should be all charged up by Obama reiterating he won’t extend the tax cuts for the rich. I mean, after all, he is saying that to get in the face of conservadems who are floating noises about extending them – but after his performance on HCR, I just don’t believe it until I see it.
Obama needs to get in the face of Repubs and Conservadems the same way Gov. Christie is getting in the face of his opponents.
My reaction:
1. Who the F**k is anon?
2. And why are you substituting a dKos post (one with some wisdom, btw) for actually watching this keynote? That post simply does not do this address any justice.
But expecting you to do more than the lazy reaching for a new complaint is apparently just too much.
We missed you, cassandra.
Obama sending Bill Clinton around to tell us to stop bugging him about a public option was the last straw.
I guess I better watch the whole keynote now. I’ll probably like it.
Hey,I LOVE the dKos post. I e-mailed the WH right after the Sherrod fiasco asking the Pres to convene an emergency meeting in the OVAL office with all of his top male advisors.
Once there,they were to pair off,him included, and check each other’s scrotums for testicles.If absent,immediate firing ! If there,furthur testing at Bethesda will be required.No one seems to have a working pair of balls in near proximity to the Pres.
Breitbart and Foxx noise had them all jumping into a one legged idiot ass-kicking contest so fast it almost gave me whiplash.
I’m afraid to start laughing.I may never stop.
My summary of Van Jones speech was that the movement still needs help. He doesn’t understand why the left is turning on the president when he most needs their help.
