WASHINGTON - An environmental adviser for President Barack Obama, Van Jones, has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," has been linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.........."

Exerpt from CNN 6 minutes ago:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The resignation of Obama administration figure Van Jones, following controversies over a petition he had signed and his comments about Republicans, did not come at the request of the president, the White House senior adviser said Sunday.

"Absolutely not -- this was Van Jones' own decision," David Axelrod told NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked if the president had ordered the resignation.

You've opened up the largest issue. How many others, not just Van Jones, are enemies of the Constitutional Republic that was created here in the US? And, of those others, like Cass Sunstein and Mark Lloyd, did Obama not know they were like that, and appoint them in ignorance?

Or worse, did he know exactly what they were, and appointed them because of that? I think it is the latter. Glenn Beck has flipped over a rotting corpse and one fat maggot is gone. There are many others.

These appointments are not by mistake. There are too many of them. I think blobama is drunk on the wine of power and can get away with anything he wishes.

I hope that we can eject this socialist and all of his socialist friends in short order.

The record has been broken tonight and there is a breech in 0b0z0’s dam.

I was just saying something similar to a friend today. I believe that we've just witnessed a watershed moment for the New Media and citizen journalism.

The establishment MSM buried the Van Jones controversy under a blanket of silence, but the story got out anyway through the New Media. So many Americans discovered what was truly up with this creep, that he was forced to resign. All without a single word from the MSM.

Now, the New Media will go after the rest of Obama's czars. They know this, and will predictably attempt to defend themselves using the full weight of the federal government and "The Ministry of Truth" to do so. We can expect a full-frontal assault on our burgeoning communication channels, but I expect that to fail miserably. The People will not allow it.

The radicals' days are numbered, and there is nothing they can do to stop it.

He more than likely will be..we just need to find out what groups that are given moneys by Obama and the senate and congress..ACORN needs to be watched..you see there still is Tides Foundation where really rich people give millions..Hillary and Bill for two Theresa Heinze and John Kerry and also George Soros..When we can get rid of these criminals in our government we might be able to stop the giving to Terrorist and Savages..I for one mentioned Tides foundation and also put up names that were there at one time but no one was interested since then the names have been removed..this was when I posted on another site but now they are someone to look at..These Terrorist have been around for years and many in our government positions have been giving money..

And now with growing numbers of members of Congress starting to wonder why zero has hired so many czars we may see more of them get trimmed back. We need a direct confrontation between blue dogs, RINOS, Independents, Republicans in Congress and the empty suit. Let the pressures become so great that clowns like Pelosi and Reid will have no choice but to side with those that object to these czars being put in place, or be seen as obstructionist of our Constitution.
