LOL - Obama could have REFUSED the resignation
and Van would have obliged.
Instead, Obama opted for his standard compassionate response:
...no he gave him a choice; either quit or sleep with the fishes.
if Jones was not hearing anything negative from up top then why did he quit? on a Sunday when everyone is busy going to the beach or barbecuing? liars. And if he did not hear anything negative from up top then do they agree with all his 9/11 troofer and racist and unAmerican comments?
Maybe so but I’d bet a dollar to a donut that he told him to do it at Saturday midnight on the holiday weekend.
Hmmm...Gregory did a good job asking pointed questions. The fact that he didn’t get answers isn’t surprising.
LOL
Nice tapdance, Chubs.
What did Obama Know and when did he Know it?
Axelrod is a professional liar, and of course there is no way on earth that Jones quit of his own accord.
He was “a distraction” and Zer0 had him thrown under the bus.
The discussion between Axelrod (Mr. Public Relations) and Zer0 probably went like this:
Axelrod: “Mr. President, Van Jones has become caught up in some past statements that are becoming a distraction to our PR efforts with health care.”
Zer0: “I can’t have any distractions. Make them stop.”
Axelrod: “Yes sir, no more wee weeing. Righty roo.”
(Axelrod on the phone with Jones 10 minutes later)
Axelrod: “Van, I need your resignation by 5:00 PM today, Saturday.”
If what Van Jones said or did is defensible, then Obama could have refused the resignation, and told Van to “stick it out”.
Of course Obama did not tell Van to resign. He told Axelrod and Axelrod asked him to resign.
Axelrod is a paid mouthpiece. A role he plays perfectly. And probably another closet left-winger.
Wake up people. Axelrod is
the President.
No, 0bama gave Van a stack of stimulus cash to insulate the inside of Van’s freezer
That’s unfortunate for Obama.
If Obama didn't ask him to resign, does this mean, Obama agrees with Van Jones? On 9/11? On whites poisoning minorities? on his Socialist ideas? on freeing a copkiller? on Van Jones statement about “violence against poor people and poor people of color within the U.S”?
is it just me ? Or does Axelrod actually look a lot like Hitler ?
Horsesh*t!
Axelrod is quite a dancer!
What a a$$clown!
