CBS News says "Van Jones took a bullet for his boss."

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."

But, heck, how many more to go?

I'm overwhelmed thinking about it.

Glenn Beck - 1

Commie Obama - 0

Maybe Obama will invite Beck to a beer summit...

That’s what I said Soros is behind both of them.

Pray that God will rob George Soros of all his power.

I wonder... how many Islamic countries financed the turf for his election over the internet?

“... he has been a strong voice for creating 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources.”

But has he created the first job, ever ? Community organizers don’t create anything; they merely come up with flowery papers and seek federal or foundation grants to pay themselves and their pals.

Too many but stay the course. We owe it to the past and the future.

I try not to wish ill on anyone. But seeing George Soros broke and in a gutter would somehow be satisfying.

Last Monday afternoon or evening I was driving home and listening to either Hannity or Levin. He was playing a sound bite of some presser that was resently held. I nearly dropped my teeth when I heard this.

A journalist was questioning why it was that despite the fact that Democrats having a majority in both houses of Congress (including the White House), Republicans were successful in either obstructing progress or actually getting things done. That was the lead in to the question.

“Why can’t we get things done like the Republicans are doing now?”

We? What we? You mean like wee-wee? or “we” as in collectively? I was floored. The journalist stated “we” as in acknowlegment of allegiance with the Democrat Party. Of course Hannity didn’t hit on that, he was making some other point which for the life of me can’t recall what it was. He played the clip several times and each time I heard the journalist say “we” I flipped.

Un-biased media is an oxymoron.

Communists are dramatic.

Totally pathetic.

CBS naturally forgot to mention that, besides being a communist and an America hater, this simple pantoad Van Jones is also a supporter of the cop killer, Mumia. Jones is scary on multiple fronts.... and he was a perfect fit for Ubama's White House. Yow.

Congratulations, America, on your "historic" election.

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.

When he was first appointed one of Bozo's female staffers(I forget the name)waxed on and on about how they had been watching him for years and had their eye on him. Bozo definitely knew what the guy was, he is a carbon copy of Bozo only more vocal about his beliefs.

I was sort of thinking along the lines of King Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 4.

31 The words were still on his lips when a voice came from heaven, "This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you. 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes."

33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like cattle. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

That sounds like Hillary on a bad hair day.

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

Show me the people you associate with and I can tell you who you are..Also, my Mother always told me, “You cannot lie with dogs without getting fleas.” How can any citizen of this nation who pays attention not know what views President Obama holds at this time? His questionable associations just go on and on. Van Jones is not the only Czar who has far left, Marxist ideas. The others should be scrutinized as intensely as Jones was. Americans need to be aware of who is behind the authority in this nation. We do not want our system destroyed by any “shadow” government.

“CBS News says “Van Jones took a bullet for his boss.”

How depressing.
I was hoping that Van Jones (and his 36, at last count, fellow Czars)
would stand and fight.
And Talk, And Talk, and Talk in defense of themselves and their
Alpha-Male leader Barak Hussein Obama.

Sad to see Van Jones go to radio silence. He was really a great
indicator, even to the great American people that, despite voting for
the charimatic/photogenic BHO last November, they voted for
a Marxist/Communist Community Organizer.

I can’t wait for the pushback that’s gonna “hit the fan” next March/April
when Acorn personnel get unceremoniously escorted from the property
of our fellow citizens that refuse to give anything other than a
constitutionally-correct response to Obama’s Shock Troops.

I love Obama’s/Acorn’s defintion of “inclusiveness”:
1. Count the ILLEGAL INVADERS in the census
2. DO NOT COUNT Mormon missionaries that are out of the USA during the
time for the Census.

(For reference about the Census that will include ILLEGALS that invade
our beloved USA...but REFUSES to count legal US Citizens temporarly
absent from the USA BASED ON RELIGIONAL affliation...)

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705323887/Census-LDS-missionaries-dont-count.html

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&num=100&q=Utah+Mormon+Missionaries+Census&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

I’m NOT Mormon. It’s not my religional/philisophical “cup of tea”.
But I was outraged to learn of this act of govermental bigotry today,
after investigating the governmental/Census “outreach” to churches and
other houses of faith.
But having found this little factoid, I do now have a ready response when
the Acorn Census worker shows up on my doorstep:
“When YOU BIGOTED JERKS start counting legal US citizens temporarily absent
from the USA as missionaries.....
AND
TOTALLY ERASE any count of ILLEGAL INVADERS of my AND YOUR country...
then come back. I MIGHT be ready to give you my response to constitually-
specificed census inquiries.
Otherwise, stay the h-ll off my property and don’t call, mail,
e-mail, fax or communicate with me in any manner.”

I guess when Acorn and Obama hijacked the US Census, they also burned
that letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury (CT?) Baptist
to assure them the state wouldn’t be interfering with churches as
there was a “wall of separation” between church and state in the
First Amendment.
Well, I guess I shouldn’t be suprised when Democrats throw
Thomas Jefferson’s idea under the bus.
More than a few Republicans did the same with Ronald Reagan’s ideas
during the tail-end of Dubya’s administration.

Liberals like Obama and his bum-buddies should all be subjected to
CAT scans and PET scans of their brains.
To look for the biological basis of mendacity, compulsive lying
and hypocrisy.
As well as the religional devotion of zealots to Communist/Marxist
idealogy and other similarly-repulsive belief systems.

I will go on the record and say that I am not gloating or celebrating because this guy ( Van Jones ) should have never been in that level of high position in the first place.

Since Glen Beck and the Internet has exposed this guy, the people can really see how much the MSM is in the tank for Obama and how much they lie... it's out there for everyone to see....
This is not only Van Jone's down fall, but, the MSM's down fall also because hopefully people are waking up to their lies.

Funny, according to the CBS News website, they'd only started to report on it two days ago. I guess the "withering criticism" goes to Fox News and Glen Beck.
