Van Jones, President Obama's "green jobs" czar, has resigned from his White House post amid controversial statements in his past, exposed primarily by FOX talk show host Glenn Beck and the Gateway Pundit blog.

I disagree. Administration Czar is the ultimate in unaccountability. One of them recently instructed businessmen attending a meeting with her that they can take no notes or recordings, nor divulge anything that was said. There is no record kept.
They are intentionally invisible at the highest rungs of power -- as are the deals they make, the arms they twist, and the money they spend.
> Sort of like a bed bug or a cockroach. They hide most of the time but do show themselves from time to time.
(BIG GRIN!!) Yup — and like the bedbug or cockroach they skulk around in the shadows, and are a dam’ned nuisance, jolly difficult to get rid of, and bloody unpleasant to have around.
A lil while ago I went over to DU to read their view of things. They consider Jones to be a hero but some seem to be upset w/ him for not sticking it out, & w/ Obama for not telling Jones’ critics to kiss his you-know-what.
I think it’s safe to say that the Yahoo article was correct.
If that was true the would be supporting Beck who is shining a light on the corrupt administration. they are hypocrites.
With every other attack on the constitution by this administration and these self important (supposed) Representatives (you know them, they refuse to answer questions) of the people, is an affront to every patriotic American. When some sanity returns the charges that should be filed for these union thugs should fall under the RICO
“Van Jones Resigns, Beck Wins Fight”
I respectfully disagree (and I’m a big Glenn Beck fan).
My prayer was that Van Jones would stay in his Czar posiion and start
yapping louder and more often.
“Over-reach” and public self-aggrandizement are amongst the most effective
tools to expose (and eventually neutralize) Liberal/Communist/Democratic
nutburgers like Obama, his Czars and their fellow-travelers.
> They are intentionally invisible at the highest rungs of power — as are the deals they make, the arms they twist, and the money they spend.
You make a good point, and I wonder what part of your Constitution authorizes such a critter as a “Czar”. The concept of unaccountability seems rather far from the Founding Fathers’ intentions.
My point is more that at least as a “Czar” you have his name and face that you can splash all over TV, and you can take a decent run at him if you like — as happened in this case.
Once they’re “consultants” or “advisors” they become nameless faceless mandarins whom nobody but their boss knows exists.
WND was a big help in this too.
No part of it does. It is just too many here have forgotten that fact.
LOL I wonder what 0’s “excuse” will be for appointing this pos in the first place? He’s already used the “I didn’t know” 2 too many times with alinsky and wright. The truth is , is that he is a know nothing narcissist that loves to hear himself read a teleprompter.
This is important if only to show Jones has been outed to America for what he truly is and it IS a big deal he stepped down. The fact they saw fit to make the announcement in the middle of Labor day Weekend indicates just how serious a White House, already under siege from every direction, takes this.
It is yet one more turd on the dung heap that is this Administration.
Lefty Loons out in force in a (failed) attempt to save face by getting Jones to stay. To them winning is everything and Jones quitting is to them an admission the "enemy" (us) was right about him all along. What's so great about this is this "change" was brought about by ordinary people rallying around a cable news guy despite NOTHING from the major media in this country. While still a force in America, the Networks and other lefty biased media is a diminished force.
Never forget that.
The reaction at DU is mind-boggling:

It is amazing and frightening and sickening that people actually think like this.
“Lets not get too excited about this...now Jones will have more time on his hands to force Beck off the airwaves.”
I excitedly disagree.
The better side of the coin is that Beck will have more time to win more good fights like this and have the increased ratings and credibility to do that.
One down and how many more to go?
How dare they think they can put people like this in high government positions with authority over policies who reports to no one but obama. Probably more like valerie jarrett, but, I digress.
All Czars need to go. That’s over 3 million a year in tax dollars saved. A drop in the bucket, but, it’s a start.
Which Commie Czar will be the next to hit the road?
Yup, now he's officially "persecuted" by "right wing bigots who couldn't stand to see a black man get ahead".
And blah, blah, blah.
