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.
The chairman of the House Republican Conference, Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, had called for Jones to resign or be fired.
"I think Van Jones did the right thing," Pence said Sunday about the resignation. "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration."
Jones has frequently been dubbed a "green-jobs czar" for the administration.
"The president should suspend any future appointment of so called czars while the administration and the Congress carefully examines the background and qualifications of the more than 30 individuals who've been appointed to these czar positions," said Pence, speaking to reporters. "And the Congress ought to initiate a thorough inquiry into the constitutionality of this practice which has spanned Republican and Democrat administrations."
In a statement Saturday night, the White House said Jones was giving up his post at the Council on Environmental Quality, where he helped coordinate government agencies focused on delivering millions of green jobs to the ailing U.S. economy.

Of course he didn’t. Any dummy knows that it isn’t Obama who is calling the shots in Washington.
He caved... no doubt in my mind. He didn’t want his sheep to break out of their brain shackles. Too much real information coming out.
Hey Pissant... it looks like Obama just threw another body under the bus...
excellent take!
Sorry to be the one to break the news, but Van Jones did not deliver millions of green jobs. Not even one new green job in 6 months work. So what was he doing?
screwing the taxpayers out of a salary for nothing.
So someone told him in blunt terms that it was time to go. If there's one thing leftists hate, it's being exposed, and Jones was the equivalent of someone in the Mafia running off at the mouth to the FBI.
And bears don’t poop in the woods either.
He wouldn’t DARE fire him.
Jones has too much on Obama for Obama to make him mad.
Besides, it’s all about “the movement.”
“Power to the People.” Their People and all the money they can scam. They’re Communists.
Van Jones isn’t going away. Trouble is, where will he turn up next? ACORN?
Your quote came from Mike Pence and not Obama or anyone in the administration.

Do I really want to know what you are talking about?
Someone on another thread said Jones had a 30 Billion Dollar Budget to "play with"!!
I would like to see how much he "spent" and "to whom" and "where" it went!!!
"Good morning, Mr. Rahm. You wanted to see me?"
"Good #$^%$ morning, Jonesy. Yeah, I wanted to %$#%## see you. You @%@#$% see this piece of ##$%@$% paper? It's your %$@%@$ resignation. I got a $%@$%$ offer you can't #@%$@#$ refuse. Either your $@$%@$% signature is gonna be on that @$%@$%# paper or your #Q@$#$T% brains."
Bump
You nailed it.
Of course
Zer0 didn’t fire Jones!
Zero has never ever been in a position of having anyone working for him, nada, not even at a lemonade stand.
He is so inept he doesn’t know how to hire, or fire, anyone!
“Van” Jones got the delivery of the dead fish from Rahmbo!
I don’t believe them. (Smirk)

“Of course he didn’t. Any dummy knows that it isn’t Obama who is calling the shots in Washington.”
Then maybe it came all the way down from the top!
“Jones doesn’t strike me as someone who would step aside, given his radical speeches.”
Ditto!
