Van Jones Resigns
Late Saturday Obama's green jobs Czar Van Jones stepped down.Jones said, "On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide".
Jones once called himself a communist and was founder or involved in many radical groups such as Color of Change, a group going up against Glenn Beck. Jones recently called Republicans A**holes at a public conference and called George Bush a "crackhead".
Many question however, "With his radical views how did Van Jones get the job in the first place?"
What are you thoughts?

"With his radical views how did Van Jones get the job in the first place?"
The obvious and simple answer is, he represents President Obama's ideology and values. How else could he have got that position?
Digging a little deeper, it became apparent Obama was having difficulty maintaining his choices for Cabinet members. He set a record for the first 100 days in office with 4 major Cabinet withdrawals. By contrast, George Bush had two dropouts during his entire eight years of the presidency.
Obama knew he was not going to get his choices for key positions in his Cabinet if they were vetted through the Senate Confirmation process as they could not stand up to public scrutiny.
This left Obama with little choice, hire personnel for these positions that did not fully meet his requirements and put into place unqualified, radicals that would run the cabinets from behind the scenes. These "Czars" were immune to the vetting process.
This gave Obama free rein to fill key positions with those of similar ideology and values. Those key positions are health care, management performance, urban affairs, technology and energy and climate agendas. It should be apparent, if Obama and his "Ghost Cabinet" are left unchecked, their ability to exploit these positions would be devastating to our economy, and our freedom.
Democrat Senator Robert Byrd said this in a letter to the White House in February of this year.
"I am concerned about the relationship between these new White House positions and their executive branch counterparts. Too often, I have seen these lines of authority and responsibility become tangled and blurred, sometimes purposely, to shield information and to obscure the decision making process." Senator Byrd was absolutely correct although I hate to admit it. :|
The Cabinet Secretaries for these agendas are nothing more than figure heads and puppets, whose purpose is to provide cover for Obama's radical anti-American Czars to undermine and erode the principles and values this country was built on.
"The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government." --Thomas Jefferson

Way to go Glenn Beck! Keep it coming!
Of course we all know that this isn't over by any means. I am sure he will still work for Obama, he will just blend in with another organization. My guess he will get paid through Acorn!
When is this nightmare going to end?
Literally everyday there is more big news of something else this president has done. They got rid of Van Jones for his radical views, then why can't we get rid of Obama for the same reasons? Why can't this country stand together and demand his resignation?

Here is an article by Phil Kerpen from Fox News that provides some insight as to just how dangerous Vans Jones really is. His resignation makes him no less dangerous and vigilance must be maintained. As Ronald Reagan said, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

Look at the ring leader! the great messiah as he perceives himself. Combine that with the state run media, the unions & all the corruption behind so much ACORN, SEIU & all. Obama for now has so many tight coalitions that it is difficult to fully expose him. I'm still wondering how a man can rise to such an office & have his birth certificate, school records, medical records, his school writings all covered up. How did he get away basically unscathed from the Jeremiah Wright occurrence? I think he has someone higher than himself looking out for him and was possibly groomed for this position. Plus his typical voter is ignorant to what is occurring, even though confronted his typical voter is in denial & almost hostile when attempts at educating them in reality occur!

I thought that having Czars was against the Constitution, why are we allowing this president to go against our Constitution on many different levels? Why can't we do something about it? I just do not understand!

Van Jones says outloud what Barak Obama believes, but doesn't dare say outloud. Jones got the job in the Whitehouse because he and Obama are cut from the same cloth and believe the same things. And Obama is just now beginning to realize that the majority of the American people will not tolerate the socialists agenda he is trying to foist upon us. Thankfully, the American people are waking up to the fact that Obama is a fraud and he depends on trickery and deceipt to accomplish his goals.

Whatever happened to the vetting process? Does Hussein think he can just stick any random person in a position of power and we not question it??? We need to put the fire under all of his appointee's; maybe we can get rid of all of them. Nothing but thugs...Glenn Beck calls his administration a Thugocracy...pretty much nailed it.

I have gained a newfound respect for the late Joseph McCarthy! I certainly can't argue with his premise.
