If Obama is reelected I’d say it’s all but guaranteed he will move as far to the left as he can get.

(Politico) — Van Jones is back with a message for disappointed progressives, Occupy Wall Street and other “post-‘Hope’” Democrats still looking to President Barack Obama for the change they voted for in 2008: Get over it.

“I think you need two sources of power to make change, and not just one. I think you need a head of state that’s willing to be moved, and a movement to do the moving,” said Jones, the former West Wing insider-turned-disillusioned outsider and a lightning rod for conservative critics.

That’s the gist of Jones’ new book, “Rebuild the Dream,” his blueprint for grassroots action to restore the economy as well as attempt to turn Obama into the kind of president they want. The book is a companion piece to Jones’ activities since leaving the White House — and his new rock-star status within the progressive movement.

Liberals must work hard to give Obama a second term, then force him to the left, Jones explained.
