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.........."
What about Obama’s Senior Advisor, Valerie Jarrett, who recruited Van Jones and said The White House had been following him since his days in Oakland, where he was a communist community organizer.

Excellent news! As for Zero, I have thought from the start of this nightmare that he would be a one term pres., or less than one term! Let’s make that a reality!
It’s so good to have something to smile about, but it’s thrilling to know Obama is torqued. I’m sure he’ll still be MAD when his delivers his prime time speech and I hope his anger shows.
Amen, and amen.
Sunstein defends are over here
Feel free to give them a good one over.
And he is only going to be ANGRY, in search of payback. We need to stand our ground, grow the Tea Party rallies escalating to 12 September, and keep on the offensive, demanding Mark Lloyds ouster from FCC. Also see who Obama puts in to replace those we force out of office. There will be MORE.
Hmmm, I wonder why this was done in the middle of the night during a holiday weekend.
New tagline.
‘Van Jones was 100% done in by Free Republic.’
Well, Van Jones was done in about 94% by Glen Beck. The other 6% is up for grabs. Without Beck, 99% of the U.S.A. would have never learned of Van Jones.
What would you expect an islamofascist, foreign born, communist basturd to appoint?
STILL nothing from CNN ... LOL

In a resignation letter released by the White House just after midnight on Sunday, Mr. Jones said he was the victim of a smear campaign.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” he wrote. “They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
Mr. Jones said while he’s been getting encouragement from both political parties to “stay and fight,” he “cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past.”
“We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future,” he said, adding in the letter for Council on Environmental Quality Chairman Nancy Sutley that he has been honored to serve the president.
Ms. Sutley issued a short statement thanking Mr. Jones for his work and calling him a “strong voice for creating 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources.”
Politicians had been calling for Mr. Jones to resign after it was revealed in recent days he signed a petition supporting 9/11 conspiracy theories and has made other unflattering statements caught on video.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs offered a less-than-stellar endorsement of Mr. Jones on Friday.
The holiday weekend release has been used by many politicians to attempt to lessen bad publicity.

I bet Rahm loved making that call ../S
The company u keep...
Maybe us conservatives are having an influence after all...
Hmmmmm, I wonder how many of those that pulled their ads from his show are feeling rather stupid about now. Hope they realize now on whose side they should be!
I’ll join you in that prayer, and let me add that Free Republic seems to be running just fine this evening. Faster than ever!
I dunno about you, but I plan to start referring to him as President OreO every where I can on the internet in the hopes it'll take root. He's not really black, ya know. He sold out the brother here to appease his white mama's people.;-)
I'm thinking this presents a golden opportunity to peel away some of O's base.
(snicker)
Still a target rich environment

“Term Limits” by Vince Flynn comes to mind. Excellent book.
Too late for the talking heads shows tomorrow? Overshadowed by healthcare speeches next week? No boost for Glenn Beck ‘til Tues?
What kind of a manager sidelines the Clintons (dirt machine) and the CIA? They are probably all ghostwriting Beck's material. Way to go, Smarty Pants!
