The long sordid journey of the White House green jobs czar finally came to an end last night.
White House green jobs adviser Van Jones resigned in the middle of the Labor Day weekend following persistent controversy over his past remarks and associations.

Just one scalp of many that will hang from our lodgepole.
There’s no way this guy just “resigned.” He was obviously forced out by the damage control people. JMHO
But either way, I couldn’t be more thrilled.
It’s getting crowded under the Obama bus.
"...in the middle of the Labor Day weekend" ??
Uh....not even planes take off at midnight on Saturday.
Why midnight? Why on Saturday? Why not this afternoon?
To keep the topic off the Sunday morning shows?
BAAWWWWAHHHH!!!!!
This is damage control for the healthcare vote. Angering Republicans and Blue Dogs Dems is the last thing Obambi wants before he tries to force Communism on us. Pure and simple.
Remember, he has the card check legislation, Tax and distribute to inner city frauds (oops, Cap and trade) and other Communist legislations coming along. He wants to look like Bill Clinton (without the scandals).
WE know its all a sham and he is a real Communist.
of course, who cares? You’re acting like it’s some major breach of trust that he was forced out but allowed to resign. That’s not the issue, imo. IMO, the issue is that he should have been gone by the middle of the week, and frankly not in the admin to begin with.
It’s gettin’ mighty crowded under that there “Hope ‘n Change” bus thingy!
The revolution against the enemies of the people has begun. Many people are seeing the rampant racism within the black community for the first time. This is historic.
The surprise to many people will come when they realize that the Kenyan did not think that this was out of the ordinary. Black culture is dominated by this the Van Jones’s. They are so numerous in the black culture that it did not raise any concerns on the part of the Kenyan or his other buddies. They all think like that.
The state controlled media is ignoring or glossing over the story. People’s natural curiosity is going to have many of them tuning in to FOX news to find out why this guy resigned. If you watch CNN, NBC, MSNBC, etc. you will be surprised that someone resigned. Some of them will start to question the accuracy of their news sources and some will switch.
Score one for the good guys, thanks to Beck & the reast of the alternative media.
“We’re gonna need a longer bus”
yes, that’s what we said. It looks better if HE resigns. I gotta tell ya.
If I were Van Jones and I was innocent of these charges etc...I would fight with everything I had to clear my good name. I don’t care if it bankrupted me but my name would be cleared and THEN I would sue.
If I were the President and I hired this person and I beleive him to be honest and true and innocent of the things being said about him...I would fight for this person on my staff with all I had. I would try like hell to clear his name and set this all right.
Anyone who is truly innocent of charges against them no matter who he/she might be should always and forever fight to clear their good name. It is the one thing that is yours. Your name. It is the one thing that one should NEVER bring disgrace down upon. It is truly worth fighting for to know you did the best thing you could for your family name.
Therefore, I am shocked that Jones and the White House didn’t stand tall and defend themselves while working to clear Van Jones. In the end...it’s because they COULD NOT. The tapes speak for themselves and the fact Obama didn’t come out and make a statement about one of his Czars speaks volumes.
I’ll take “not been in the admin to begin with” for $1000, Alex.
The topic will still be on the Sunday shows and this will still be discussed on forums, airwaves, TV and other places as well. This will hurt Obama as it will bring more unwanted attention at a time he is in deep doo doo.
Officially he won’t be there. But 0bama is vindictive. Van Jones will STILL be part of the ‘shadow government’ through use of the computer and ‘go-to-meeting-White-House.’
Don’t ever forget that 0bama is VERY vindictive. EVERYONE involved in this needs to watch his back . . . Glenn Beck and Fox News being the major ones he’s bound to spit his venom on.
Pray for Glenn Beck and his family.
“The long sordid journey of the White House green jobs czar finally came to an end last night.”
The first thought that went through my beady little mind when I heard that Jones had resigned was: Let’s be VERY careful and suspicious as to where that snake might go NEXT! Let’s be REAL sure he wasn’t just shuffled into some other, more clandestine undercover job, where he can still keep working his mischief, and still pull down a fat government pay check while he does it!
Long live Glenn Beck! He’s the Thomas Paine of our century!
As long as 0bama is around, I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Van Jones and his radical beliefs.
“The first thought that went through my beady little mind ...... “
You are not alone. That was my first thought too.
The Sunday shows mentioned it but mostly brushed it off. The larger questions about who vetted Van Jones and if there are others that are like Vans in this admin still have not been asked.
The fact that this is the first time a WH appointee resigned at midnight should not be lost on us. It’s a 3 day weekend. I just finished driving across town and the LA freeways are dead, no one is paying attention.
NONE of the major news entities never even wrote about the controversy. CNN said he was forced out by Health Care opponents. By Tuesday, when everyone is up and running, Van Jones will be a distant memory.
There are more. Glenn has them and talks about them
