WASHINGTON - An environmental adviser for President Barack Obama, Van Jones, has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," has been linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.........."

“1 down 32 to go - make that 33 if we count obamie”

And I do... count obamie, that is.

This is excellent news. We’re recognizing the fact that we DO have power, and that our “raising a stink” about certain things has made changes. It’s made Hussein cool his jets.

We need to make sure there’s no replacement. WE DON’T NEED A GREEN-JOBS CZAR!

Green is the new Red.

It should be the FCC Czar, Chavez man, whose name I don’t care to remember.

The flaming Kommunist thinks that Chavez’s Venezuela should be our model!

Jarret is tied up with Van Jones. She stated that “they” have been watching Van Jones since his days in Oakland. Then, “they” knew about it and with 0b0z0’s “MSM-bestowed brilliance”, he should have known about it, given 0b0z0’s negative IQ. Prove us wrong, 0b0z0; show us your school records and “degrees” to prove you weren’t passed along courtesy of affirmative Action.

In parallel, Congressional GOPers should demand an investigation of the FBI vetting of all 0b0z0’s staff, that if it ever occured. If not, why didn’t it? Heads should roll and all the Czars and cronies should be rerouted through the Senate confirmation process.

Of course, that will be a welcome “distraction” from rushing the country to CommuFascism.

I can’t stress enough that the Van Jones resignation broke 0b0z0s finger in the dam. Water will start gushing out if the GOPers in Congress do there job. Without the Media, we need their help.

PS. My apology for the not-so-clean post yesterday.

As I said on another thread, hope Beck has downloaded off you tube—I am sure they are scrubbing him as we speak.

Although the pundits were predicting an early demise, I remembered the arrogance of this Prez and felt Jones might be here to stay. What fabulous news to begin my Sunday.

OK, here's my take on this. Obama can now come out and say that they got rid of Jones because he did not represent the vision and opinions of his administration. Of course, we all know that Jones’ ideology is exactly why 0bama chose him. The ls-media won't cover this issue from the true point of view no matter what. Now that Jones has resigned, we radical right-wingers will get the blame for being racist and against 0bama just because he is black. They are the victims, remember. Had he not resigned, he would have continued to arrogantly speak out against capitalism, whites, and the US. I believe there would have been no way that 0bama would have been able to distance himself from this guy and then EVERYONE would be clear on the objectives of this administration. IMO, Jones would have been a valuable resource to conservatives all the way through the 2012 elections.

Yes, Soros should be at the top of the list, along with Carol Browner, John Holdrun, Valerie Jarrett. See the complete list of names in post 388. One down, (making sure that he is “out” as well) and on to the next!
