Glenn Beck remains but poor Obama 'Green Jobs' Adviser Van Jones Resigns Amid Controversy!!! :yahoo:


WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.

The resignation comes as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.

Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."

The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones' name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officers had allowed the attacks to occur.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."

But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.

Jones flatly said in an earlier statement that he did not agree with the petition's stand on the 9/11 attacks and that "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever."

As for his other comments he made before joining Obama's team, Jones said, "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize."

His apologies did little to quiet Republican demands that the resign.

Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana called for Jones to quit, saying in a statement, "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate."

Missouri Sen. Christopher Bonds urged Congress to investigate Jones's fitness for his White House position.

Nancy Sutley chair of the council, said in a statement released early Sunday that she accepts Jones resignation and thanked him for his service.

"Over the last six months, he had been a strong voice for creating jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources," she said. "We appreciate his hard work and wish him the best moving forward."

Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administrationfor the time being."

The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones' name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officers had allowed the attacks to occur.

"They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."Right out of "Rules for Radicals" sucks when the other side is using your playbook better than you.

Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."He should stay and fight it with all of his "revolutionary" might and zeal.

But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.

Jones flatly said in an earlier statement that he did not agree with the petition's stand on the 9/11 attacks and that "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever."
Why did you sign it then you moron?
As for his other comments he made before joining Obama's team, Jones said, "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize."Okay, thanks the door's over there and take the rest of the CZARS with you.

His apologies did little to quiet Republican demands that the resign.

Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana called for Jones to quit, saying in a statement, "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate."

Missouri Sen. Christopher Bonds urged Congress to investigate Jones's fitness for his White House position.But I'm a CZAR! You can't do that I only answer to the president!

Nancy Sutley chair of the council, said in a statement released early Sunday that she accepts Jones resignation and thanked him for his service.WTF did he do to decrease unemployment as the GREEN JOBS CZAR?!??!

"Over the last six months, he had been a strong voice for creating jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources," she said. "We appreciate his hard work and wish him the best moving forward."Still waiting on that new green jobs employment report...

How many more CZARS to go?

Hey! I beat you by 4 whole minutes on this story! :mad:

Tonight I'll sleep with a smile on my face!!! :smoochy:

They still kind of make it look like he was a great guy who said a couple bad things and insulted Republicans, so he left. That he didn't agree with the Truthers. That he just didn't want to draw fire against the administration because of the complaints. No mention of white polluters and white kids doing Columbine and Bush being a crackhead and blah-blah-blah. Nothing about the King riots. I got to the point with him where nothing surprised me at all about him.

No mention of Communism or Marxism or any of that. Just that he's a nice guy who had to leave. What a crock.

I think "czars" need to be vetted by Congress.

This story is a little more complete.

Nonno would say he was 'swiftboated'. I would say good riddance!

I cannot get over how this guy has blamed everyone but himself for this. An vicious "smear campaign" against him, indeed!
Even when presented with facts Obama and his henchmen continue to reject the reality and substitute their own.

You've obviously not spent a lot of time in an urban high school.

LAT has reverted back to its socialist slant. Note that the only reason for quitting was to avoid a distraction. In fact, the guy has no business breathing free oxygen, let alone work for the White House.

:dye:

May the rest of them suffer the same fate.

Mike Pence is a Socialist, Communist, Conservative, Republican Nazi, Right Wing Flying Butt Monkey who advocates government run health care.

:lol:

He resigns in disgrace in the middle of the night of a long weekend and yet whines about being a victim of a smear campaign?! Yeah, poor little Vannie.

Good riddance! :banana:

So how many bodies are under the bus now? :lmao:



Way to go, Glenn Beck!! :buddies:

Hey! I beat you by 4 whole minutes on this story! :mad:


:lol: Doncha hate when that happens!

Glenn Beck owned this story. The LSM wouldn't cover any of the man's background stories.

Obama would have sent a more positive message if he had fired him rather than Jones resigning.

Watching Glenn Beck makes you stupid.

Obama would have sent a more positive message if he had fired him rather than Jones resigning.

And rolled in the current!!! Also looks like Glenn Beck was driving the boat!!! :killingme

Fox is reporting that none of the other networks and MSM (NYT, MSNBC, CNN, etc...) reported on the VJ controversy. Glenn Beck led the charge with this and Jones is now gone. Goes to show the power FoxNews wields (with voices like Beck) in the media.

I predict the “Fairness Doctrine” will become front and center soon.

Van Jones had no busines being picked in the first place. (In fact every Czar now serving, is serving in opposition to the Constitution. They all should go).

Where is Obama, why isnt he speaking up for his friend? The country is involved in one of the most momentous occasions since the beginning of the Country, Cap and Trade will destroy the economy, the government is taking over 1/5 of the economy through a disastrous Health care Plan, His Buddy just got run out of town on a rail, 47 heroes died last month in Obama's War,and Obama is in Martha's Vineyard, and then in Camp David eating Ice Cream, which he says he doesnt like, with his kids.

When Obama speaks will he say Van Jones acted stupidly by resigning?

He was picked by Obama. Obama knew everything that has been brought out about Van Jones before he picked him. The 911 issue of the petition, the white hating organisations Van Jones started, His Comments, His mind set, His racism, Obama knew all of these things and chose him anyway. Can Obama admit he acted "stupidly" when he picked van Jones? How about his other Czars, The ones who didnt pay their taxes. The Homosexual he placed in charge of school safety. The Congress needs to go over each of these appointments and either back their Presidents stupid choices, or give them all their walking papers.

I wont be holding my breath.

Don't let the door kick you in the butt on your way out. Now if we can just get the rest of this treasonous administration to resign....:howdy:

Rush Limbaugh, the leader of the Republican Party, is a traitor who wants our nation to fail. Glenn Beck should beat him to death with a shovel.

That is the crux of the matter. Regardless of Jones' resignation, Obama still felt it necessary to hire the guy. And there are still some highly controversial characters on as Czars. Take a look at this list (http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29391/) and note that nearly all of them have unknown salaries.

Did you know that when Republican Senator Mitch McConnell needed heart surgery, he turned to our socialized medicine system?

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

No, dipstick, they are using your own words and actions to spotlight your racism and radicalism, and the fact you're a Rosy O’Donnell 9/11 truther moonbat. For a vicious smear campaign using lies and distortions look to the left's ongoing attacks on Sara Palin.
