This part especially, is unbelievable!
"It struck me, why go after this guy? He is a minor player, he has no power, no budget, why take him? It's because he looks like Obama and he has all those same attributes of being well-educated and he’s an electrifying speaker with an elite education," said John Anner, a good friend of Jones and former chair of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, an organization Jones founded in Oakland. "It seems to me that he is symbolic of what the Obama administration is and could be and that's inspiring for me, but for some people on the right, it's terrifying and threatening.”
The third lesson of the Jones flap is less unique to Obama’s White House, and to the moment. Jones was just an adviser to the Council on Environmental Quality – he was never officially referred to as a “green jobs czar,” as he’s sometimes been called – but he was also a celebrity of sorts. His work in California fusing civil rights, economics, and environmentalism put him at the head of powerful streams in the Democratic Party. He’d been the subject of a full-length profile in the New Yorker, and top officials sometimes touted him as a kind of trophy hire.
it was Obama himself that referred to him as a CZAR!
Please note the WH saying LOW LEVEL job!!! What a joke.
ANYONE who quotes an admitted liar as a source for ANYTHING has no credibility whatsoever! It's like it is coming directly from John Podesta funded by George Soros and POLITICO knows it!

Jones' downfall is great news, but if the above were true, Baraqqi would not be President.
Communist comrade in the WhiteHouse. Throw them out!
Hasn’t been our media in a very long time. They are part of the propaganda machine. They have purposely ignored, twisted or denied facts for a reason. :-p
