Van Jones, former 'Green Jobs' czar for President Barack Obama and now currently of Center for American Progress, launched the "Rebuild the Dream" campaign in Hawaii in which he told the crowd to let the "great white suburbs" die out, that it "deserves no defense" and that he's glad it's going away.

“There are two American dreams. There’s one I call the "American Fantasy". Everybody's going to be rich, and we are all going to ride out on our credit cards to the great white suburbs, get a McMansion, and buy flat screen TVs to cover up the holes in our lives... that is the American fantasy which is turning into the American nightmare. That is dying out on its own accord, it deserves no defense and it gets no defense and I’m glad it’s going away."
