Pence Calls For Van Jones's Resignation
The Hill ^ | 09/04/09 | Michael O'Brien

President Obama should demand the resignation of White House "green jobs czar" Van Jones, House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said Friday.

Pence argued that Jones, who has been embroiled in two national controversies this week, should lose his job, and said that Congress should have more say over the dozens of "czars" installed by Obama since taking office.

"Given recent revelations concerning the associations and statements of the president's green jobs czar, Van Jones should resign his position and if he is unwilling to do so, the president should demand his resignation," Pence said in a statement. "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this Administration or the public debate."

Jones has faced pressure since it came to light this week that he signed a petition calling for an investigation into whether President George W. Bush was responsible for 9/11 terrorist attacks, lumping him with so-called "truthers" who believe the attacks were coordinated.

Jones has denied that he was familiar with the content of the petition, but also found himself in hot water earlier this week when a video circulated of him calling Republicans "a**holes."

Pence said that Obama should suspend the appointments of future "czars" to oversee different policy areas until Congress has an opportunity to examine whether such appointments, without congressional approval area allowed.

"In the wake of these recent revelations, the president should suspend any further appointments of so-called 'czars' until Congress has an opportunity to examine the background and responsibilities of these individuals and to determine the constitutionality of such appointments, which have spanned multiple administrations," Pence said.

Look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and this whole picture becomes clear.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to radical Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

I think one of the reasons for all of these czars is that this empty suit has no idea what he is doing, and needs all of the help he can get. He also is surrounding himself with like minded people.

Well, FINALLY! Duh! Where the he** have the republicans been? Most every one of these people are commies. Why did the republicans wait so dang long!

I guess it’s OK with them that Glenn Beck put his life on the line to bring attention to what Obamessiah is doing! Nobody else seems to have the guts to do so!

I guess old Van Jones and his Color of Change group have their behinds in a crack NOW! They picked on the wrong guy!

No, I don't think Van Jones should lost his job. I want to know where he is at any given time. Just like Alcee Hastings.

Shoulda called for Zero to fire his ass....hold HIS feet to the fire.

The buck stops there. Accepting a 'resignation' lets the regime leader off way too easily.

I think zero-Bama should keep Jones on, so we can have Beck beat him up on a daily basis. Maybe the state-run media will eventually pick this story up.

We need to “ town hall” all these communist bastards. One issue/person at a time we need to disassemble the Obama organization. We need to call and write the MSM and demand they cover the TRUTH about Van Jones. It’s very obvious now who Obama really is.

Yes it is very obvious who Obama really is.

We all knew it here.

As the recession, depression grows deeper, millions more will suffer at his hands.

The communists in his administration are just laughing and cackling behind their doors.

Get a backbone, all Republicans in the entire country should be united in calling for Obama to dismiss ALL the czars - starting with Jones - or Obama should resign....as unable to govern.

I’m with you my friend. The energy of the town hall meetings on health care needs to be sustained and carried over into outrages over EVERYTHING Obama does. He is a Marxist ..it is CLEAR AS DAY. Now, people need to choose sides. I can’t see how any half way intelligent citizen could not want this dictator out of the White House ASAP.It amazes me.

It amazes me also.

We have to remember however that:

Half the country still gets all their news from MSM lackeys
Many of the younger generation have no idea the evil that is Marxist/communism. But they will learn as the current communists rule and the suffering multiplies.
