WASHINGTON It wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
When White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about the president's support for his embattled "green jobs czar," Van Jones, the response was: "He continues to work for the administration."
If there were any doubts the first high appointment of the Obama administration was about to be reversed by scandal, Gibbs' message put them to rest.
If he goes, Jones' brief tenure as one of about 40 czars in the White House will have been cut short by reporting in WND begun in April by staffer Aaron Klein.
WND's Klein first reported Jones was an admitted radical communist and a self-described "rowdy black nationalist" and that in 2005 he boasted in an interview that his environmental activism was actually a means to fight for racial and class "justice."
Succeeding revelations by WND included:
Jones previously served on the board of an environmental activist group at which a founder of the Weather Underground terrorist organization is a top director.
Jones was co-founder of a black activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program. The revelation followed Beck's reports on WND's story about Jones' communist background.

So he's solidly working with Obama, Pelosi, et al. This racial bigot clearly has an axe to grind with white people and has been totally transparent telling it. apparently with Obama's knowledge and approval. This puts Obama's ideas and ideals about racism on a whole new level.
After Van Jones focus on the science czar, then the FCC czar, etc. Every one of these people are vulnerable because of their radical backgrounds and connections...let O’bama have to buy another bus to throw them all under.
