Van Jones a ticking time bomb for Obama
Kansas City Star ^ | 9-4-09 | Yael T. Abouhalkah

Posted on 09/04/2009 6:29:50 PM PDT by icwhatudo

By mid-Friday, it was clear that the days of green jobs czar Van Jones are numbered in the Obama administration. Forget radio shock jock Glenn Beck, who's trying to get Jones fired. Even White House spokesman Robert Gibbs offered only lukewarm enthusiasm for keeping Jones.

On Friday Gibbs said, "He continues to work in the administration..."

Oh, and Gibbs added that Obama does not agree with Jones' signing of a petition to investigate possible federal involvement in 9/11.

No kidding...

How many ticking time bombs does he have now? We can start with the Veep and work our way down. Zerobama has surrounded himself with radicals and the “chickens are coming hommmmmme..... to rooost!”

Obama’s ratings are crashing now (health care debacle, rising unemployment, balooning debt, etc.) so he may be forced to jettison Jones sooner rather than later. I

There were tanking etc when he appointed him days ago

Obama has made so many unexplainable choices for his administration one wonders whether guys like Van Jones have something that he can hold over the Bamster’s head.

“Anyone for an over and under? I take before 5:00 p.m. Sunday - dead news period w/ Labor Day to mask it.”

I’ll take next Friday at 4pm

Next week he is *talking* to the students and bringing up ObambiCare with congress. I think since there will be tons of talk about that he will throw Jones under the bus on Friday afternoon.

Think what it would be like if they kept him - and every day we could come up with a new “outrage” by the guy... He’d be like our private fund raiser - road to power - gift of the White House...

This hire shows that either:
1) The Obama administration is either incompetent for not vetting this guy; or
2) They tried to slide a hard left wing (in reality the guy associates with actual Communist groups) radical into the administration and got caught

"’ll be contrarian and say Van Jones stays. The media is ignoring this story. If Republicans call for Jones’s resignation, the media will call them racists and trying to provide a distraction for healthcare reform. Then watch the GOP Congress fold like cheap suits. Notice that ever since Beck made those “racial” remarks about Obama, no GOP Congresscritter appeared on his show.

I know the mountain is high to climb and I didn't think the Republicans could do it but they continue to disgust me as they hang out to dry:

Glenn Beck
Sarah Palin

No support, no cover, no unity. Cowards.
