The White House shouldn't expect the furor over Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality Van Jones to go away just because he's resigned, says a former Obama Administration transition team member, because "the same problems that they created with Jones's hiring are there for others and they don't seem to care about the political damage these people may inflict."
According to several White House sources, Jones was hired for his "green jobs czar" positions over concerns raised by the White House Counsel's Office, after Jones's background materials came back with several of what were termed "inconsistencies" in the Standard Form 86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions.

the web Obamas team has in place already is unreal....
House as the “Regulation Czar,” Sunstein is tasked with developing regulations around the policies for environmental, healthcare, and safety issues.
According to administration sources, Sunstein’s office is looking for ways to impose through the regulatory process those Obama White House health care, environmental, and labor policies that do not survive the legislative process.
“The goal from this White House is to have as much nonspecific language passed by Congress in policy areas like health care and the environment and then use Sunstein’s office to put in place the regulatory language called for by Congress that gets us to where we want to be. It may very well be the most important job in this administration, given the lack of success we may have on Capitol Hill,” says a White House source.
I think that sums it up doesn’t it folks?
Standard Form 86 (always though 86 had other meanings)
...anyway, folks in the beltway have been shy on producing data like a birth certificate, or an navy discharge form, or even a correct notation about which of the three dwellings are the true residence for tax-reporting purposes.
Just my observations from fly-over-country.
And Sunstein is rumored to be a future pick for the Supreme Court. None of his regulatory roles are constitutional!
And nobody does it better -- passing nonspecific, tweakable language that most don't read or understand -- than Congress.
Republicans need to expose this. This is dictatorship by the executive branch.
“Like Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine. And it is no stretch to say that she was a slumlord,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We have real concerns about Jarrett’s ethics. Washington already has plenty of corruption. We don’t need to import more of it from Chicago.”
ANTI-AMERICANISM IN THE WHITE HOUSE Ousted czar Van Jones's brand of anti-Americanism, and economic radicalism, was familiar to the Chicago cabal now in the WH. "Says a White House source: "A high level position like Jones has to be approved at a couple of different WH levels."
Obama gave Jones $30 Billion to do with as he pleased.....other reports say Jones oversaw the allocation of some $80 Billion in all.
According to several WH sources, Jones was hired EVEN AFTER concerns were raised when Jones's troubling background materials came back attached to "Standard Form 86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions."
Most of the blame for the Jones fiasco was precipitated by Chicago crony, Valerie Jarrett----Obama's Senior Advisor and Assistant at the Office for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement (OIAPE). Jarrett created Jones's "czar" job. In speeches before far-left groups over the past five months, Jarrett was caught on tape, touting Jones's hiring.
Jones' signature of the "9/11 truther" petition was spun by the White House as Jones simply not having read the material. (NOTE: Jones is a Yale-educated lawyer). Jones blamed his staff at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights........
SLEAZY WH STANDS BY THEIR MAN VAN Within an hour of the White House statement, another document came to light indicating that Jones had helped organize a 2002 truther protest march in San Francisco. White House sources denied Jones' involvement.
The White House Counsel's office says they began to look into whether Jones had contact with his lefty friends at Color for Change...........which launched the advertiser boycott against Fox News host Glenn Beck.
The furor over Jones' hire as Special Advisor for Green Jobs won't go away. A former Obama Admin transition team member says "the same problems are there, and they don't seem to care about the political damage these hires (czars) may inflict."
That’s always been the Left’s tactic, since their agenda can NEVER be legislated: Be as non-specific as possible with legislation, and be sure there are committed Marxist Bureaucrats and Judges in place to implement that agenda through interpretation and codification ... and when the Right screams, clainm that this is “settled law.”
Relatives of 9/11 victims cheered the resignation of Van Jones.
Said Debra Burlingame: "He's not fit to be a dog catcher. He's a hate-monger," referring to Jones calling Republicans "a-holes" and for signing a petition that said Pres Bush allowed 9/11 attacks. Her brother died in the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.
Retired firefighter Lee Ielpi applauded the resignation: "His comments foster doubt and suspicion." His firefighter son, Jonathan, was killed at the WTC.
Jones said "opponents of healthcare reform mounted a vicious smear campaign against me."
Yeah sure---He did the name-calling, HE signed the whackjob petition, and now HE's the victim. Too bad Ohaha didn't nominate Jones as The WH Perpetual Victim Czar.
I wish the Republicans in Congress would show some spine and get up and walk out when BamaKennedy starts bashing the ‘right’ tomorrow night.
And is BamaKennedy going to ‘raise’ Cain again as his moral authority to pass his health care reformation. He did describe a partnership with his god to decide who lives and who dies.
His gal Val is just carrying out orders. BamaKennedy is the ‘buck’ and as a former Democrat president said “The Buck Stops Here’.
That’s probably one of the best outcomes we could hope for,” explains the former transition aide. “What Valerie is doing is no different than what Rove used to do with conservatives. She’d dealing with our Norquists and Limbaughs.”
BS
Jarrett’s purpose is to recruit a team whose goal is the DESTRUCTION of our republic. (or as they would characterize it, fundamentally transforming)
So he was hired even though White House counsel had a problem with the National security Questionaire. Post this far and wide.
How many more were hired that really couldn’t pass a National Security Clearance.
I wonder if they are worried about lawsuits and investigations once they are voted out of office.
THEY SHOULD BE.
Bump
obama could be impeached NOW.
With their agenda, they will never be voted out of office. obama and his ilk are not preserving and protecting the Constitution. What’s does a silly little oath mean to them?
I would like to know what mechanism is in place when someone can’t pass the national security clearance and is hired anyway.
This is outrageous.
And why is this JUST NOW being leaked!
Are some people worried about their necks..or are they finally seeing the light.
Here is the code
