Obama thanks Van Jones for his service
ABC News ^ | SEPTEMBER 06, 2009 | George Stephanopoulos

Posted on 09/06/2009 12:28:45 PM PDT by RobinMasters

This morning on This Week Gibbs gave me the first official response:

GEORGE: Does the president believe that he is the victim of a smear campaign or does the president think that Jones actions and words merit resignation?

GIBBS: “Well what Van Jones decided was that the agenda of this president was bigger than any one individual. The president thanks Van Jones for his service in the first eight months helping to coordinate renewable energy jobs and lay the foundation for our future economic problem...The president accepted his resignation, but Van Jones as he said in his statement he was going to get in the way of the President.”

GEORGE: So the president doesn't endorse in any way the things that Van Jones said before but the president doesn’t want him to go?

GIBBS: He doesn't but he thanks him for his service."

- George Stephanopoulos

Why is Obama thanking Van Jones for helping lay the foundation for future economic problems?!

Stephanopoulos parrots the official talking points:

“Victim of a smear” = Showing videos of Van Jones endless evil speeches.

Obama’s FCC Diversity Director is the next one who must go. He every bit as bad as Jones, having praised the likes of El Hugo Loco, “The Crackpot of Caracas.”

Yep, Obama's agenda of destroying America is far larger than any one commie. Plenty of comrades are ready to take Van Jones' place.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. And, by the way, give us an accurate accounting of where the money went.

Wow! Amazing that All Bull Constantly allowed this statement of truth out. Usually when a 0 acolyte makes such a slip of the tongue Georgie rushes to rescue them rather then let it be broadcast.

This is truly scary given what was revealed about Anthony (Van) Jones by Philip Kerpen.

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/09/06/phil-kerpen-van-jones-resign/">

Jone's economic model is to use "Green" to centralize government control over all economic activity.

So glad the Prez thought he was doing a fine job.

Um ah, Van, just a few more questions before you go.

How have you spent any of the $30 billion you controlled, how much is left and where did you hide your cut?

What government information, that you had no business putting your eyes on, did you put your eyes on - and who did you tell about it?

[[“Victim of a smear”]]

Van Jones IS a ‘victim of smear’ A Poop smear he created all by himself- Van Jones smeared his own name all over his undies by deciding to participate in groups that hate America- He’s got NOONE but himself to blame- so yeah- perhaps Fox News should agree that Van Jones IS a victim of smears- his own!

Agree. It is ridiculous for Jones to accuse that he is a victim of smears! He did this to himself! Everything is either on video or in print.
