Ushered out the door in the dead of night . . . Obama did not want Jones interfering with Obama’s magical, mystical press next week.

That's why I was hoping VJ Day would be Wednesday.

This is a huge embarrassment to the national Obama media.

Hence...done in the middle of a weekend night...on a holiday weekend, no less.

Nothing to see here...move on.

Congress returns Tuesday...is there anyone in the GOP who has the rocks to stand up and demand Valarie Jarrett’s explanation as to why this communist was hired?

Anyone?

“Ushered out the door in the dead of night . . . Obama did not want Jones interfering with Obama’s magical, mystical press next week.”

Yes, they ushered him out the same door that they “snuck” him in! The man is as bad or worse than any KKK leader. The only difference in him and a KKK leader is he’s hating WHITES instead of blacks. Neither is acceptable!

““I said, ‘If you say these four words, I guarantee you that you’ll keep the Democratic majority in the House for the next twenty years. If you say these four words, you’ll expand the coalition around global warming in a way that nobody even thinks is possible. If you say these four words, you’ll give help and hope to people who haven’t had any for a long time.’ Finally, she said, ‘Well, what are the four words?’ I said, ‘Clean Energy Jobs Bill.’ ”

A little while later, at the press conference, Pelosi called Jones up to the microphone. “We’ll say it together,” she said. “Clean Energy Jobs Bill!”

From that point, the Clean Energy Jobs Bill progressed much along the lines of, as Jones put it to me, “an after-school special.” Jones had had only a vague idea what the four words meant; Pelosi’s interest inspired a rush to get legislation drafted. In June, 2007, a measure authorizing the U.S. Department of Labor to spend a hundred and twenty-five million dollars to train workers for green jobs was introduced in the House. The bill, now called the Green Jobs Act, provided targeted funds for low-income trainees. A few months later, the bill was incorporated into a much larger piece of legislation, the Energy Independence and Security Act, and was approved by Congress and signed into law by President Bush in December, 2007. Around this time, Jones left the Ella Baker Center to found Green for All. The organization now has a staff of twenty-five and an annual budget of four million dollars.

Since Pelosi’s meeting, the notion of green jobs has become a commonplace. Not only did it keep coming up in last year’s campaign but it has been embraced by a growing number of unions (in December, the Service Employees International Union announced that it was joining a coalition of labor and environmental groups called the Blue Green Alliance), by the heads of many major corporations, and by an ever-expanding list of politicians. Obama has said that as President he wants to generate five million such jobs, and his stimulus package is expected to contain billions of dollars for this purpose.”

Who was Jones? I never heard a word about him on TV or in the NYT.

Is he planning to spend more time with his family?

Would be nice if Pence or Bond would do that - they were the only ones raising the topic before he resigned. Maybe some phone calls to them would be in order for us.

Already posted by the ‘caffiene crowd’ that stay up all night to post the ‘breaking news’ almost immediately.

I am forever in their debt and sleep soundly at night knowing when I hit the refresh button in the A.M.I will have the latest and most up-to-date news at the ready.

:)

Chalk one up for WorldNetDaily (or World NUT Daily as its detractors like to call it) and Glenn Beck.

Without those two this wouldn’t have happened.
