Van Jones took a bullet for his boss.

After more than a week of withering criticism for past comments, Jones has resigned as an advisor to the White House on green jobs.

The White House announced the news in the early hours of Sunday morning. In a statement, Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, thanked Jones "for his valuable contributions to the Council on Environmental Quality. Over the last six months he has been a strong voice for creating 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources. We appreciate his hard work and wish him the best moving forward."

This amateur Communist from Chicago has clearly revealed exactly who is when he appointed this blatant racist, Mr. Van Jones.

Van Jones and Obama are the same. It helps explain why this administration dismissed the Black Panther case.

"Obama did expose himself as the Marxist he is when Jarrett said they had been watching him and were glad to have him onboard."

There has never been any doubt that Obama is a Commie. At least to intelligent people.

Lame duck Obama waisted 6 months... Obama continues to be a failure.

You Betcha, he just can't seem to do anything with success! One more nail in his coffin.

"They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide," he said. "I have been inundated with calls -- from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future."

That's right, Vanny. "Lies and distortions, but don't refute any of it.

I don’t know about him. I think he’s next on the expose list.

The comments are pretty funny, aren’t they? The common theme is that CBS reports Jones’ resignation but they haven’t reported anything else on the story.

I just watched a Glenn Beck video about him! He’s gotta be the next to go.

Van, you and Obama are nothing more than glaring evidence that Joseph McCarthy was right.

Yes, I agree.

None of these people are infiltrators in the 0bama administration. They didn't sneak up on him.

They are HIS allies and fellow Marxists, and they were appointed by HIM, and are a reflection of who and what HE is.

They’re in full denial mode. Can’t wait for the Sunday Show Spinners to check in in a few hours.

We were warned long ago. I took it to heart. Alas many did not.
