Washington – The White House says President Barack Obama’s adviser Van Jones is resigning amid controversy over past inflammatory statements.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly “green jobs,” is linked to efforts suggesting a governmental role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
Jones issued an apology on Thursday. 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 White House issued a statement early Sunday saying Jones had quit the administration.
Jones, a legendary figure in the environmental movement, has worked for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, as special adviser for green jobs, since March. He was a civil rights activist in California before turning his focus to environmental and energy issues, and he won wide praise before joining the Obama administration for articulating a broad vision of a green economy Democrats could embrace.
This artice is just the tip of the iceberg of how bad this guy is,read the details and be shocked.For all the glenn beck bashers,he was the one who exposed him,and he was more than right.
another one bites the dust….
Good riddance.
When pressure is applied to weed out these communist/Marxist anti-
Americans, we see results. We mustn’t stop in our efforts to keep our country free, as our founding fathers wanted it to be. Change is good when it is Change for the better. I applaud Glenn Beck & all the other commentators & columnists out there & especially the “little people” who voiced their outrage. Now let’s kill this health care bill before it kills US.
Let them all fall. Hope this starts a snowball effect.
One Down 31 More To Go
He may resign but the q is still there didn’t abama knew about all his past statments what’s going on here nobody is saying anything ?????
After being exposed as a far left psycho, Obama has been forced by us NORMAL Americans to fire this Nigeria-like “Green Czar” fraudster. Now audit his 500 BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET before he steals this money as he walks out the door and runs away to Nigeria.
what a bad egg,how can obama put such low lives in his administartion??doesnt say a lot for the dems
the question is where will obama put him now??hes not going to go and work for mcdonalds!
yeah this is the way how its usually starting the end to an administration…. I hope so. I want to see them out from DC this place isn’t for them. Sending his AG to investigate former CIA officials mean that he belongs in IRAN. Yes in IRAN. Shame on you barack obama. Congress you need to impeach this anti US activist.
Michael Savage was also yelling about this on thursday.
One down ….. How many more to go? I wonder who does Obama’s vetting in the first place?
Burich sheputrani
obama will sacrifice anyone and throw them under the bus I’d he gaind politacaly from it.In this case with his plumeting numbers obama hopes to gain some points.
he said that america was responsible 4 over 2000 deaths of 9/11 and he still got picked to work 4 the obama administration. wow what a stupid move by obama. this only shows how he thought that because he has such strong sopport from the media he can do whatever he wants and nobody will say anything, and this came back to really hurt him now
A wee hour weekend firing perfectly timed to avoid media scrutiny.
Go AARON KLEIN !!!!!
This is not even HALF of what he’s guilty of; he’s a self-avowed red not green communist.
Does anyone realize that the they dont like this guy for what he said in the past but they still follow phillip j berg, the man behind the obama birth conspiracy who is also the same person who is beind the 9/11 truth conspiracy and also sued bush and cheney because he thinks they planned 9/11? (in additino to his thinknig obama is not an american citizen?!) the inconsistency and hypocrisy and lack of logic by some people is truly astonishing (despite the fact that van jones is clearly a nut)
Gimme a break! He was forced out due to the right exposing him for what he is.. A COMMUNIST!!! He is also a creature of color living over 150 years ago.
Er zul paygiren!!
