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."

Unbelievable! No mention of his Communist ideologies or racists rants against white people. The only consolation is reading the comments. People are taking CBS to task for their selective reporting.

Is CBS speaking metaphorically?

Does that mean that they are admitting that 0bama is a commie too? How else would Van Jones’ resignation be taking a bullet for him?

They love to play the victim card, but this is far away from the Kalishnikov retirement plan.

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

There is trouble at foggy bottom I think.

I hate it when MSM girlymen use terms like “took a bullet.” Girlymen should use more appropriate terms like “he bit the big one.”

Those weren’t “bullets” they were facts. And we will continue to use facts, not violence, until this marxist takeover is stopped.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about Obama’s side of this. How well did he know Jones? What role did he have in selecting him?

I would not at all be surprised that Dumb’O knew him rather well.

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

The comments there are great. They are just piling up and you can get the full story by reading them while also finding out that CBS is as useless as smoke signals for getting news.

I pray he continues to be. We don't need this piece of crap holding the reins.
