WASHINGTON - An environmental adviser for President Barack Obama, Van Jones, has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," has been linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.........."

CNN will likely entirely ignore the resignation, or say he was victimized by the fascist mob. LOL.

Pretty soon the MSM will be forced to start covering the backgrounds of the remaining dingbat dolts of the Obama Czar contingent.

We need to pick the next one to reveal to the public.

And eventually ask Obama himself to resign.

Actually I don’t want it to be a republican victory. I want it to be an American citizen victory.

You're in good company there. Dare I say even on the part of many with whom you might otherwise disagree.

I learned about it on an article posted earlier on FR...but I have always thought Frank Davis was a link to his contacts early on.

Valerie Jarret should be under the spotlight---big time, IMO.

At midnight on a Saturday night no less.

The only cable news service that'll carry this on Sunday is Fox. By the time the rest go back to work on Tuesday, it'll be forgotten.

Notice they don’t mention the C word. Nothing wrong with being a commie lib, especially when commie libs are writing your obituary.

Let's hope there is no replacement.

OPINION:

IF Obama was ever vetted, Jet Jaguar; then is essence, we can surmise that vetting is meaningless.

We don’t have to wait for time to tell us this; history is alive and we are all living it — minute by minute.

Communism, socialism, “spreading the wealth,” are all terms used more frequently in the blogs, on the internet, in other forms of media, and in conversations all over the United States since Mr. Obama became President of the United States.

He himself has created his own legacy that is well documented. How long will it take to unravel his legacy of neutering the CIA, economic woes, overreaching via the media, social agendas that don’t match most of America’s moral values, and so much more? Will it be longer than Jimmy Carter?

Only time will tell.

This is more fuel for the fire. Most of his czars have serious problems. Time to throw another shrimp on the barby.

Heh.... delicious turn of phrase there. I totally agree.
