Will The Van Jones Scandal Hurt Obama's Presidency?
AIM/Gateway Pundit/The Lid ^ | 9/5/09 | The Lid

Posted on 09/05/2009 7:21:29 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

In a little over 24 hours, there have been two more revelations about Presidential Green Jobs Czar Van Jones.

Like on December 2, 2005: "You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids...

Or what was revealed today by Gateway Pundit:

While he was director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights Van Jones cut a vile CD against whites, the government, Israel, The Man, oil companies, and everything else American. Van Jones was even featured in the recording!

But Van Jones is not really the issue, The real issue is the White House, because if the average citizen could find out all of this information about Van Jones just by searching the internet, why didn't the White House? Or worse, did the President and his staff know all of this and just didn't care?

Are there a other people working at the White House with credentials that are much worse than Van Jones? At the very least this is a condemnation of the President's 40+person "Czar" team, none of whom requires a Senate confirmation which at the very least is another round of vetting. If Jones was properly vetted, who overruled the vetting team and sponsored him to become part of the government? If the POTUS and his staff knew about Jones and his off the chart opinions, what does that say about the White House? Beyond his provocative statements, Jones is self described communist. Even though the cold war is long gone, that is still disturbing to most Americans.

These questions all lead to one more question will all these questions further erode public confidence in the Obama presidency?

Let’s not stop with Van Jones. Let’s investigate all the Czars. I bet they are just as moonbatty as Van Jones.

Perhaps 0bama will commission Van Jones to preside over the 9/11 “National Day of Service” state parade.

If a tree fell in the forest but nobody was there to hear it...

Thus is the equation for all thing Un-Obama and so they never happened, at least that’s what the Communist Loving Media thinks.

This passes for insight? I mean really. Look at the record of Van Jones and compare it with Obama's background. Notice any similarities?

Obama hired Van Jones because he was a PERFECT fit for his administration. The things that we are complaining about are considered VIRTUES by Obama and his team. As I have posted in other Van Jones threads: The vetting of Van Jones was perfect. They got exactly the man they wanted. I think they knew quite well that there would be push back by conservatives and they expect to survive it. Certainly the MSM is giving it the old college try by totally ignoring the Fox 24/7 coverage. But time will tell. As far as I know Jones is still a U.S. Government employee despite Fox News' nearly universal prediction that he wouldn't last out the week.

There is something rotting in all of this that I don’t understand, yet.

How does the son of this man...rise to the level of taking CIA courses and working at the DIA??

Are these people from a world other than this one?

Do they really believe that Van Jones will be only cause of “Mack Daddy the Zebra’s” to be hurt.

Wake a smell the roses, I can truthfully say that “Mack Daddy the Zebra” is doing an outstanding job of doing that all by himself although he actually believes what the written word has to say about how wonderful is his performance.

Mark my words, when his day is over and history is written he will not be viewed in a positive light. He will viewed as the one person who almost destroyed America and the American way of life, liberty and happiness.

Given Van Jones political vantage Arlen Spector would qualify as a “right wing extremist.”

Right . The headline question is rhetorical. The big press is silent. The only play is to keep hammering , they can't fire the guy this close to 0’s big night , that would become the story .

Heck, Obama himself couldn’t get a “confidential” security clearance in the military with his background.

All of that old security stuff is out the window, under the adminstration of the most successful communist traitor mole in history.

UPDATE AS OF SUNDAY AM
VAN JONES HAS RESIGNED.
-—will be interesting to see
how this is reported by MSM , if at all.
Since at least half of America probably
didn’t know who he was YESTERDAY, the story
will be totally downplayed, if reported at all.
And IF reported, just superficially, w./o going
into who this guy was, and what his history was.
But from here on in , everyone will be thrown under
the VAN. There’s no more room under the BUS.
