Van Jones

How can anyone with Jones background get the Presidents ear. What failed was there no vetting process or his past just overlooked! Is this the kind of leader ship we need from the White house?

How is it possible that US News can fail to do a report on Van Jones' absolute racist agenda. If it were Bush's Presidency and he appointed a white who said, "It's not whites who are pimping..." there would be OUTRAGE in the press, it would be OVER for Bush! But, Obama appoints Van Jones who has made such racist remarks and the press looks the other way. How about some fair and balanced reporting, US News?

When I read drivil such as that put forth by Bob Turner of VA, it's an embarrassment to the likes of the great people of Virginia. I think of the concept of "projection" and think that if this guy knows what "mindless moron" is, perhaps he could educate us all.

Interesting it took FOX just a few minutes of simple research into the internet to read all about the absolutely blatant positions, political drivel, and long lived beliefs of this very educated and very clever guy. Where were the FBI sleuths who routinely vetted all the administrations staffers? and wasn't Rom Emanuel in charge of Obama's team who recruited personnel for all of his high insiders? and is it just amazing coincidence that we keep getting surprised by whom we find are among "the persons I've surrounded myself with who have influenced my thoughts and positions",,,,words of the Annointed One in interviews and spoken statements. Stay tuned, there are more to come....!

Reporting information on what has disappeared!

How is i possible that a person could write that a news story that news about the expert on matters green,Van Jones, has disappeared when the subject of the news story appears above the writing?

Are there still that many people who can't or don't read, or is it they want to make a story when there is none?

WTF Cares

Who cares what a mindless moron like Van Jones thinks. They need to put this fool back in the gutter that spawned him. The guy is a raceist and a communist and brings nothing constructive to the table. The fact that this administration chose this guy, shows their commitment to dividing and destroying the United States of American.

HE IS DISAPPEARING

Maura, You've white washed Mr. Jones' record very neatly "has long been a proponent of environmental justice", etc.

The fact is that's he's a racist anti-american nut job who held a solidarity meeting with our enemies after 9/11. He has no business being any part of this government.

If you think you can find anything on the internet where Obama and Van Jones are actually together, please let me know. I'm sure as above all have been deleted by now. I really wanted to see them together, doing the deed.
