Van Jones is the 'poster child' for why Congress needs to expedite the 'Czar Act of 2009'

It is imperative and crucial that the ‘Czar Act of 2009’ be passed. It is imperative that Congress does not do a half-assed job of vetting Obama’s radical appointees. It is crucial that we follow the Constitution. It is obvious that Americans have to direct Congress to do the right thing for this country. Remember, we elect them and our hard earned tax dollars pay their salaries. Regardless of what some of the members of Congress believe, they DO, in fact work for us, not the other way around. Americans have an obligation to themselves, their children and their grandchildren to protect the Constitution from the politicians that seek to unravel it. Congress will be back in session next week. Anyone reading this article knows exactly what needs to be done.

You can't. Sometimes if you ask the admin politely, admin will edit your post for you.

This clown should not be allowed to be anywhere near Washington D.C. let alone cooling his heels in the Left Wing of the White House.

Van Jones is 0's transparency...Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord!!!For giving me another day!

What is truly revealing here is the fact that our prez chose to appoint a man like this while thinking he would not be called on it..Oh, but lets not stop here with O's czars... Theres some gold mining to do...Fer goodness sakes, the O certainly underestimates the American people..to his detriment!

I get annoyed at the liberal argument...”You know who started czars? Other presidents had them!”

Not over 30 of them?!

ROBERT BYRD wrote a letter of concern, but Republicans are silent in this.

The departments aren’t staffed, but these czars (increasingly being shown to be RADICAL) are there.

Where is the leadership??

I mean, BYRD himself sang...so GO already Steele et al?

Where are they?

Where is Steele on the important things? Get me a better RNC chair! Affirmative action is proving to be CRAP here.

By the way - who exactly is paying these “Czars”? Of course, I know it is us taxpayers... But what budget line do all these folks newly employed by 0bama fall under? Where is the money coming from?

I disagree....

WE don’t get to go on news programs...we are not elected officials...

THEY need to take Sen. Byrd (seriously, Byrd?) they need to get the letter out that he wrote to Obama.

THEY need to talk about these radicals. They need to talk about Holdren’s past. They need to talk about the pasts of these people. They need to lead. They need to LEAD!

Gosh give me ONE GOOD spokesperson who is a leader without controversy.

And IF NOT our elected leaders...then PLEASE...the RNC.

They need to tone down appeals to emotion and appeal to the RATIONAL...because the rational is there. They are missing so many signs and targets.

Sure, emotional has a place...but..well..

I’ve been to one tea-party. I’ll be seeing a local candidate for congress at a small gathering next month...

it just seems like the party can’t find its target...

shoot 15 arrows around the target...or shoot 3 to the center.

I am frustrated. It is NOT our responsibility. I write, I blog, I encounter opposition online...but I am frequently upset by what seems to be a lack of cohesion in the party.

And a lack of really, really top notch research, knowledge, erudition and focus at the top of the leadership.

As far as I know, that’s Steele right now.

Van Jones seems to have become a drag on “the team”. May I dream NOT replacing him with yet another Law School Graduate?

His next “Green Jobs” desk-holder should have a solid background in the “hard sciences”, and a bit of FAME for “thinking outside the Box”. If Heinlein, or Asimov was still around; I’d have a front-runner.

If I was at his desk, I’d be interviewing Bob Forward or Jerry Pournelle. Both have the background. Both have fans across the science fiction readership.
Whomever He hires, I hope that the next one own well-worn copies of “State of Fear” and “Atlas Shrugged”.
