Jones Calls It Quits At The Absolute Bottom Of The News Cycle
http://www.radioviceonline.com ^ | September 6, 2009 | Steve McGough

Someone asked me about five days ago if I was planning to write anything about Obama’s green jobs adviser Van Jones. My other responsibilities and issues with our “enhanced” Web host was the primary reason why I was not writing, but I also figured he’d be gone by Labor Day. Bye, bye.Van Jones “resigned” – yeah, right – in the middle of the night at almost the middle of our three day weekend.

Just getting out of town before the sheriff come calling....

Van Jones got called out by Glenn Beck (who else was even TALKING about Jones before Sunday morning?), and he wavered for just a millisecond before he cut and ran.

I believe a number of us here believed that would be the case:

It became obvious that Van Jones' days were numbered. He became an embarrassment to the Administration. Obama picked him, Congress had no say..Obama deserves to be held accountable. Congress should be held accountable for ineptitude. Van Jones blames the Right. The guy was a full blown anti-American lunatic. Vetting him out with just a simple "google" could have shown that.

At the onset, I believed the United States should not be a country of Czars (Tzars). Czars (derived from Caesar) were designated non-Christian, supreme rulers in repressive regimes. Czar in early America was a title that brought on jeers of: ""Czar! Despot! Tyrant!"

Presidents have shied away from the term and its anti-democratic connotations.

Republicans in Washington should have denounced the title at the beginning as anti-democratic. The media yawned & scratched itself.

All Czars chosen by Obama should follow in the path of Van Jones: The Boot! via Das Boot out of the US.

The media didn’t report it.

A “few right-wing nuts” on the internet paid attention to it.

Glenn Beck — an obvious right-wing nut not worth paying attention to — is the only one on TV who even mentioned it.

SO THEN WHY DID HE QUIT?

It is called the Clinton News Minimum. He perfected the tactic, along with Delay, Deny, Attack.

Wrong question. The right question is, why did the president recruit a radical communist to be one of his close personal advisors, along with dozens more radicals? Why are all of his other radical advisors still in place? Mr. President, are you a radical communist Muslim, sir?

Actually would have thought that maybe Sunday noon or so would have been better - miss all the Sunday talk shows.

Just goes to show that Obama and his associates are not all that bright (no experience ya know). Go Czars...it can be fun when the President appoints a bunch of young inexperienced yokels to bypass Congress. They do tend to get their dander up when their authority is undermined - even if they are a bunch of socialist anti-American, I mean, wonderful American government service employees...

At least it will be fun to watch although it is becoming dangerous when you get way too many Socialists in charge. Throw in a Marxist executive and we really have problems.

Maybe we should start calling them kings instead of czars. Think that might get anyone's attention?

How lame is that? Did they really think no one would notice?
