    White House Green Jobs Adviser: Republicans Are 'Assholes'

    FOXNews.com
    Wednesday, September 02, 2009

    Van Jones, the Obama administration's "green jobs" adviser, is seen in a video from earlier in the year calling out Republicans for stonewalling Democratic legislation.

    Van Jones, the Obama administration's "green jobs" adviser, told a group of listeners earlier in the year that the reason Republicans are stonewalling the president is because they're "assholes."

    Jones' remarks were recorded in a video from February that was posted to YouTube.

    He made the remark during an energy lecture in Berkeley, Calif., after a woman in the audience asked him why President Obama and congressional Democrats were having trouble moving legislation -- even though Republicans, with a smaller majority, didn't have as much trouble earlier in the Bush administration.

    "Well, the answer to that is, they're assholes," Jones said, to uproarious laughter. "That's a technical, political science term."

    The questioner responded, "I was afraid that that was the answer."

    But Jones said that, even though Obama is "not an asshole," others have to step up the fight.

    "Now, I will say this. I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity," he said.
