    Job Opening - Green Czar

    Not sure what all the qualifications are for this position are but here are a few that worked for Mr Jones

    1. Must being a loud mouth political activist
    2. Self avowed communist (his own words),
    3. Member of 9/11 "Truther" movement

    Tax cheats move to the front of the line.

    And people wonder why some are suspicious of this administration.

    He was the victim of a "vicious smear campaign"!

    That is, people actually quoted his own past words and cited his own past deeds!

    Those BASTARDS!
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    So this is good cause to be "suspicious of this administration"?

    So then all the people who resigned in shame from the Reagan administration made Reagan suspect?

    And all of the people who resigned in disgrace from the Bush administration made Bush suspect?

    Tell me, Slim, how did you feel about those suspect Republican administrations?

    Careful, the hypocricy meter is running.

    There are many different reasons for resignations. Not everyone who resigns does so in disgrace. If they're crooked and corrupt, hang em. Not a problem for me. Sometimes, its just time to go.

    Mr Jones on the other hand, never made it out of the gates before his past caught up with him.

    The difference here is that Obama has a past record of ties with radical groups and associations with very divisive people. Including racially divisive people. Yet, the whole campaign was based on "uniting". You can deny it or spin it all you want. Van Jones' past was not a secret and included being a member of some pretty radical movements.

    When you see these people starting to populate high positions in this administration, gotta wonder where the whole "unity" thing went. To think that they'll just leave their radical positions behind them now that they are part of the administration is ridiculous. As Van Jones helped prove.

    Granted, Mr Jones isn't guilty of a crime or criminal indictment. But his views and track record clearly are not in line with the majority of people in this country and I would content not in line with most people who voted for Obama, and clearly don't represent the platform Obama was elected on. Or do they?

    Obama was either too naive to think this wouldnt catch up to him, or too arrogant to care. Once again, a political lightweight.

    It's that right wing'd and racist YouTube conspiring to bring Obama down. The new Fairness Doctrine will fix that. Dont worry.
