Appointments: In a reprise of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy, President Obama acts like he didn't know his special adviser, Van Jones, was radical. But video says otherwise.
But soon after hiring Jones, top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett celebrated his appointment, along with his radical activism, before an audience of liberal Democrats.
"We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House," she gushed in a C-Span video. "We've been watching him for as long as he's been active."
Jarrett, a senior White House official and close Chicago friend of the Obamas, added that they were impressed with "all the creative ideas that he has."

"The green economy will start off as a small subset" of a "complete revolution" away from "gray capitalism" and toward "redistribution of all the wealth," Jones said during a 2008 interview on leftist Uprising Radio in Los Angeles. "And we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society."
