The resignation of White House green jobs adviser Van Jones could ultimately embolden conservatives who are critical of the Obama administration for its reliance on "czars" -- the nickname for special advisers who do not need congressional approval.
Jones resigned late Saturday following mounting criticism over his past statements and associations. The tipping point came when it was discovered that he signed a petition in 2004 supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which believes the Bush administration may have been complicit in the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
But even before his resignation, critics said the controversy surrounding Jones was indicative of the fundamental problem with the administration's reliance on such advisers.
Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., the first lawmaker to call for Jones' resignation, said Friday that in light of the controversy Obama should suspend the appointment of additional "czars" until Congress has a chance to examine the background and responsibilities of such individuals, as well as determine the constitutionality of such appointments.

“Jones’ Resignation May Embolden Administration Critics”
So who is next, Sunstein? Doktor Death Immanuel?
They got it backwards, the emboldened critics of the administration caused the resignation of Van Jones.......
Barack Obama, Oct 15, 2008 Presidential debate
They all seem to forget how we stopped the Immigration "Reform" in 2007 by swamping the Washington phone lines and smothering the White House and Congress with emails. When the people have had enough, they know how to stop anything they want. Eventually it filters to the election, and the Immigration fiasco was one of the major reasons the GOP lost control of Congress in 2008.
This is what should be of great concern to everyone, including Fox News.
From the White House was the comment that they have been watching him for a long time & were thrilled to have him be part of the team.
How many of the other czars are COMMUNISTS?
Valerie Jarrett should be next.
Her father in law and Frank Marshall Davis go WAY BACK!!

obozo is looking more like a wimp surrounded by bullies and thugs.
Pray for America
So many Czars, so little time. Such a target rich environment we live in. It is such a pleasure discovering that a majority of Americans still don’t want a Communist government or Communists holding high positions in the Obama Administration.
Obama is the rookie president.
They are all COMMUNISTS. Obama is an avowed COMMUNIST, all his cabinet, czars and staff are as well. The DemonRAT party is a cesspool of COMMUNISTS. Bill and Hilliary were the front people for a takeover by stealth candidates that has been going on since they managed to ridicule McCarthy out of power.
The only question is how much of the FBI, CIA, and other alphabet entities are overrun with them as well? I suspect that the numbers are huge given the constant leaks coming out when a Republican administration is in power.
We have the most corrupt, Marxist regime in Washington in world history, and nothing but crickets chirping from those that should be the watchdogs.
It's never too soon. The COMMUNIST factor has to be exposed at the Town Hall meeting & this administration should be made to answer for it.
It's not even being talking about on Fox or any of the MSM - so it's up to us to make people aware - the same way that that his Health Care charade was exposed!
When enough people are aware of it - they will respond with some action.
Exactly! Don’t these fools realize we got Van Jones sacked by using his own words and actions against him? All the Leftists from Resident Obama on down are trying to make this look like he was smeared.
Nothing like a little blood in the water.
“Nothing like a little blood in the water.”
It is shark season after all. Bon appetite critics. Chew up Zero’s Czars and spit them out one by one!
0bama could use go-to-meeting instead of appointing Czars and no one would have been the wiser.
Problem is, everyone he knows wants their fifteen-minutes of fame and their huge salary.
Mannikins, they’re cookie-cutter communists.
And 0bama is just an ordinary Chicago thug-politician.
Anybody remember those playing cards with pictures and info about Saddam’s “Czars,” (Dr Germ, Chemical Ali, etc...)? I’d like to see a deck of Obama’s Czars.
If the GOP had any intestinal fortitude they would sell them to raise election funds.
