Breaking just moments ago: Obama's controversial "green jobs" czar Van Jones has resigned.
Click here to see our archive of stories on the media's coverage (or lack thereof) of the Jones controversy.
Feel free to use this as an open comment thread on the aftermath. Will conservatives be able to get more mileage out of this controversy by drawing attention to Obama's heavy use of so-called policy czars? Or is this just a short-term setback for the Obama administration?

Well
September 5, 2009 - 23:43 ET by DurdenKrauthammer and others thought it would happen Tuesday.
1 down 30+ to go. Glad he's gone but the people who put him there are just as culpable.
Saturday in the wee weed hours of the morning
September 6, 2009 - 00:17 ET by Daniel BakerToo bad BECK wasn't on FOX during the primaries
I checked twitter to see what Beck was saying
September 6, 2009 - 00:21 ET by lbcdawnBeck is doing an excellent job of picking apart Obama
September 6, 2009 - 08:59 ET by MozillaBeck was on Headline News two years and on radio since 2002 when his radio show went national. I guess America only discovered him on Fox News. But some of us followed him a few years before. Another clip is here.
And a piece on him.
Beck is doing an excellent job of picking apart the Obama administration and showing us what it really is. It angers the left, who should see that they themselves are supporting everything they claimed to be against once upon a time; when the white house guy had a R by his name instead of a D.
America can see that both parties are corrupt. The left even more so. But the so called R party is doing nothing to stop him, barring a few people. It is taking the talk radio shows, fox news, blogs and websites, and the america people protesting and going to townhalls to keep Obama from destroying the country for good.
He decided to sneak out
September 6, 2009 - 11:06 ET by StogieGuyHe decided to sneak out during the quiet of a long holiday weekend - that's the only reason Krauthammer was wrong. In other words, slinking out without honor. But, then again, this slimeball from a sea of puss never had any.
Great that he's gone, but we have hundreds more to go.
And, again, where's the state-run media (NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the NYT, WaPo, etc.)? Attending propaganda conferences in Caracas, perhaps?
New Boss - Same as the Old Boss
September 5, 2009 - 23:47 ET by HoosierEmVan Jones will be replaced by someone else who thinks the same way he does.
Yes
September 5, 2009 - 23:53 ET by DurdenThis is mostly symbolic. The idealogy will be the same but at least now they know they don't get to flaunt it in our faces and get away with it.
Additionally this sends a strong message to the people that our voices CAN be heard. Something like this steamrolls. Now that people have seen tangible results they will press even harder.
Exactly
September 6, 2009 - 00:00 ET by lbcdawnNow THIS is "change"
September 6, 2009 - 06:09 ET by motherbeltNow THIS is "change" !!
Yes we can!! LOL
Question is: Will Obama's
September 6, 2009 - 07:09 ET by ThisnThatQuestion is: Will Obama's poll numbers go up or down as a result? The MSM coverage of the resignation will be directly tied to the perceived poll numbers. Numbers go down -- MSM silent. Numbers go up -- lots of MSM coverage.

How long is THAT BlackBerry's contact list
September 6, 2009 - 00:04 ET by DeskpilotI will make a guess that the entire Chicago political machine, all branches of the ACORN tree, and Arriana too, are all in there.
Obama demanded to keep HIS BlackBerry over the initial objection of Treas (Secret Service). Then some ABC outfit exchanged it for a more "secure" unit.
I wouldn't be surprized if he had Mumia Abul Jamar's guards' ph number, and Chris Matthews' favorite brand of leg tingler.

Obamatrons are all expendable in the service of their leader. There are more where Jones came from. By now, Obama has hired / appointed a whole warehouse full of these Marxist loons to high offices.
Then let's not rest, who's next?
September 6, 2009 - 01:10 ET by Mithridate OmbudAnd we'll find every one of them and expose them for what they are.
The FCC Adviser
September 6, 2009 - 07:17 ET by HoosierEmMark Lloyd should be the next to go. Rahm is probably drawing up his orders to double down on going after Glenn Beck and the rest of those brave media people shining the light on the corrupt Obama administration and his czars.
As long as he is useful
September 6, 2009 - 00:00 ET by VinncyGHe will still be around, in communication. We must not let our vigilance subside for one moment, our country and our way of life is at stake. This is a smoke screen, watch closely, the progressive extremists have been building up to this for years I'm sure that set backs are anticipated. Van Jones is still as active and probably even more dangerous now that he can operate in the background and still have "Gods" ear.
Y'all can celebrate this all you want...
September 6, 2009 - 00:09 ET by R D Helm...but Van Jones isn't going anywhere.
He will just be relegated to an even further off the radar "unofficial" position.
Thus the coup continues, totally uninterrupted.

September 6, 2009 - 00:11 ET by Conservative VoiceExactly, this is how they operate...ah you caught me, so I will change the language a little but end up with the same results.
And the thing we have to drum is what did Obama know and approve...and if he claims he didn't know, drum his incompetence and demand he prove that he isn't Van Jone's twin.

America is under attack, the people are starting to stand up
September 6, 2009 - 08:42 ET by MozillaAmerica is under attack by Obama. Anybody who knew anything about him could see this. The fact is Zero thought he could do all his things and easily manipulate and convince the American people it was good for them. But the American people are brighter than he thinks.
However, he is committed to his ideology and just will not give up which is alarming. So he must lose the next presidential election. I think, Van Jones gone is a great thing. But, it is just the start. Obama and his minions don't want to be reasonable. They want radical agenda at all costs.
It is is good to see that people, like Glenn Beck and all the tea party protestors. are making a difference.
BEG,
September 6, 2009 - 18:23 ET by R D HelmThey were counting on the SCM to give this clown a pass by looking the other way, which they were willing to do.
What they didn't count on were that more and more Americans are watching Beck, Hannity, and listening to Rush these days.
What bothers me about this is that there are a whole bunch of others just like Jones hanging around Obama, and the repubs aren't saying anything. I only know of two who finally said anything about Jones at all.

What was new to Obama about Van Jones' history?
September 6, 2009 - 00:16 ET by Andrew_M_GarlandTo President Obama,
It seems that you will announce soon that he has resigned, or that you have fired him, or that you are going to keep him in your administration.
Whatever you do, please tell me, what is new to you about this recent information about Van Jones? If you already knew about these aspects of his history, then why should you now fire him or ask him to resign?
If your actions are based on recent information, new to you, then what's new?

Good News!
September 6, 2009 - 00:21 ET by sergeant stogieIt is good to know that the pressure can work. But, this is very critical information regarding a dangerous person that was virtually ignored by the state-run media. Now that Jones is gone, with no coverage, it's like he was never there anyway. Either that or his resignation will be treated as a sacrifice to the messiah, and they'll chalk it up to him being another victim of blatant racism by conservatives. What is mind boggling too is that none of them even blinks an eye when this clown spews that crap about Americans and our country.
Whatever the right hand is
September 6, 2009 - 00:23 ET by Conservative VoiceWhatever the right hand is doing, pay attention to the left. Here are my thoughts, based on observations on how Obama works.
Van Jones is Obama. But he has a record. They knew that Van's history would catch up to him...and people would pay attention to Van Jones...when in reality the play is over there somewhere. He's a distraction right now.
He was a good soldier, he played his part...he will get some post in Acorn, SEIU, or elsewhere in Soros empire, he's still in the game.
Until Obama actually leaves office, we must be vigilent.
We must demand Congress to
September 6, 2009 - 00:25 ET by Conservative VoiceWe must demand Congress to pass a law, no more czars...they must be vetted in the open through the Senate.
Yes
September 6, 2009 - 00:34 ET by konoDown with the czars. Restore the Executive Branch to the form specified by the Constitution.
The law is already there.
September 6, 2009 - 20:19 ET by HockeyKidThe law is already there. The "czars" are what are known as "executive appointments without statutory basis", and they are illegal. Every new administration has its share of problems with illegally creating new jobs at the executive level. Typically, the experienced advisers on the staff raise a hand and say, "Wait--we can't do that without statutory basis," and the position is removed.
The problem with Uhbama is that his team is hell-bent on achieving his goals, which have nothing whatever to do with following the law, up to and including the Constitution. No one on his staff, nor in the press, nor in the Congressional majority, will raise that hand.
So far, I've only heard Congressman Mike Pence (R) raise a voice questioning the legality of the "czar" appointments, at least in terms of government officials.
(BTW, the name "czar" has nothing to do with the type of appointment or its legality. The fact that we have called, for example, the "drug czar" by that name in the past is totally irrelevant.)

This will be a hollow
September 6, 2009 - 00:55 ET by CooltomThis will be a hollow victory if Jone's communist past and anti-white statements are not covered in the aftermath by the MSM. If the offenses he made are contained to the troofer stuff and calling the GOP names the Dems can claim he was railroaded for quibbling reasons.
I did have one chilling thought. Valerie Jarrett introduced him at a speech and said that they thought greatly of him at the WH. Could it have been that they were grooming him to be Obama II in 2016?
Speaking of Valerie Jarrett, she should be the next one under the microscope. Her father-in-law (Vernon Jarrett) was a communist who an associate of Frank Marshall Davis, Obama's childhood communist mentor in Hawaii.
I wonder how many more
September 6, 2009 - 18:14 ET by R D HelmI wonder how many more commies will need to be unearthed around Obama before people finally wake up and realize what it is about Obama that many of us here have known for over two years now.

Was he a Czar of Black Supremacy?
September 6, 2009 - 00:42 ET by caiobabeLook... Van Jones IS a black supremacist....
THERE I SAID IT !!!
No matter how you want to dismiss it, just realize it. His resignation will be reported by the Obie "in the pocket" media as an evil victory by Conservatives who really just repeated Van Jones own words. Damn...his freakin' hate speeches are caught on video no less...but Conservatives will no doubt be the evil hangmen that lynched this 'good, upstanding' black man.
Czar Van Jones of the many czars we have now (and for what reason?) espouses the black panther philosophy, has a distinct hatred for anything related to George Bush and that means Republicans, and has a background in sypathziing with communists. Just like his president, he has a core hated for honoring this country's values that have stood strong for over 200 years that both black and white citizens in this country believe in.
Remember his own words and attribute them to his god: OBAMA
Personally, I think the wrong 'brotha' is gone.

Does Dearleader think we are not aware that these minions of his, do nothing that does not clear White House office in advance?

September 6, 2009 - 00:46 ET by PrairieSkyit would take for Jones to bite the dust...Of course, this happens on Labor Day weekend, when no one is paying attention to the news, and I'm sure Obama and Co., are hoping that by Tuesday, when everyone has returned to work and school, and has plugged back into the news, this story will be old news...Fat chance...This latest PR disaster for "O" just highlights the problems concerning his numerous and often questionable "czar" appointments.
Can't wait to hear how 'ol Gibby will try to spin this at Tuesday's press gaggle...

September 6, 2009 - 01:08 ET by Mithridate OmbudWords missing from this lengthy article about Van Jones resigning from the AP: Communist, socialist, marxist, STORM.
his ideology has not been swept
September 6, 2009 - 01:09 ET by TjexciteJust because he has now resigned from the official made up position that he was given, his ideology has not been swept from the white house. There are many more and many worse wandering the halls and bowels of command.
He fits in perfectly with this administration
September 6, 2009 - 01:14 ET by Wonder95I disagree with Mike Pence when he says
Unfortunately, his views and rhetoric fit perfecty in this administration. The correct statement would be
Congratulations Glenn Beck
September 6, 2009 - 01:16 ET by VinncyGHe pushed to get this information out front to America all the while a complicit main stream media did everything in their small liberal minds to keep the facts from us about who Van Jones is. Do not for a minute think he is gone, he is a self proclaimed communist, by the comments of Obama's buddy Ms Jarret they followed his so called career from CA to Washington, DC. They are all involved, they believe the same things, have the same plans for us, contrary to our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. These associations mean something, their actions show just how quickly they want to ram legislation through read or unread.
It's time to ask the question, What did Obama know about Van Jones and when did he know it? The I know nothing game is becoming very old fast.
MSM wonders why they are losing their audience & advertisers

MSM wonders why they are losing their audience & advertisers. Could it be that they are not on top of the news? Fox beat them out on the news by weeks! Could it be that the people must go to talk radio or Fox Cable News to get real news in a timely manner? Could it also be that Fox Cable News and the talk show hosts do not belittle the American populace?

It is far better to be three hours early than one minute late.
Did anyone notice the timeline change
September 6, 2009 - 02:37 ET by DolphieDid anyone notice the timeline change in the Chicago Tribune article? They implied that Glenn Beck went after Van Jones AFTER Beck's advertisers left his show. [Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck repeatedly denounced Jones after a group the adviser co-founded, ColorofChange.org, led an advertising boycott against Beck's show to protest his claim that Obama is a racist.]
The timeline is the other way around. GB exposed Van Jones for the Angry Racist (hates white people), Communist, Radical, domestic terrorist that he is BEFORE colorofchange.org went after GB's advertisers.
Then again - it IS a newspaper from Chicago - so what else is to be expected!
I wonder if those advertisers who left his show realize that 1) they supported a hatefilled, radical, communist, truther, domestic terrorist over a loyal patriotic host 2) GB's show was top rated during the very week they had pulled their ads. He jumped above other well established, popular hosts. (talk about revenue loss)
Re Timeline
September 6, 2009 - 13:05 ET by slickwillie2001That timeline distortion is being presented in nearly every article there is on Jones, even on some not-so-liberal new and old media outlets. It's part liberal bias, part laziness.

September 6, 2009 - 04:40 ET by Dragonsbreath"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."
They are using his videos so who's lies?
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."
So what did he resign from? Besides being a American?
Like the old lawyer joke: What do you call a bus full of lawyers at the bottom of a river? A good start. Now we can say what do you call a bus full of czars at the bottom of a river... We need a bigger bus..

September 6, 2009 - 06:53 ET by Jack BauerI assume it was his immediate boss, Nancy Sutley, chairwoman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Nancy Sutley, a former LA Deputy Mayor, was the first prominent lesbian to earn a senior role in the Democrat’s new administration.
Sutley supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Democratic primary and was a member of her Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender steering committee.

Lots. Lets find them.

They have all gone from college into government sinecures. They have all lived of the public purse their whole lives.

This explains the crap hole.
Jack, Obama doesn't need advisors with private enterprise...

The truly scary part is, he is not as far away from doing that as many people seem to think.

September 6, 2009 - 08:01 ET by FeynmanFanThat's another big story about the Jones resignation. The MSM wasn't able to control the situation and protect Jones and Obama from the fallout over Jones' beliefs. If they get the feeling that they are losing control over what the American people know, the MSM will finally be realizing that they are becoming irrelevant in the overall scheme of things.

Every week I think that the week before was more outrageous and then the next week shows me more. He BO this isn't Chicago anymore, you actually have to be held accountable for your actions and now you're the President of the United States not some uninformed without any experience Senator that has to cow tow to his constituents.
And the left said that cow boy politics was bad. They also said that going it alone was not good for the country. That's what this new president has been doing all along - going it along. Chicago politics makes Texax politics look like childs play. BUT GUESS WHAT? We will continue to uncover your corruption and the American people will vote you and your minions out!

Hard Evidence! Proof That Obama's Hawaii and Chicago Linked
September 6, 2009 - 08:01 ET by John Galt1776Not on Van Jones but this story is on Obama, Frank Marshall Davis and Vernon Jarrett (Valerie Jarrett's father-in-law) and how the same people in Chicago were/are responsible for the growth in the Chicago Communist and Black Nationalist movements .
----------------------------------------------------
It is now well established that Barack Obama was linked to the Hawaiian
Communist Party network through his boyhood/teenage mentor Frank Marshall Davis.
It is also well known that after moving to Chicago, Obama linked up with the local communist networks.
Manning Marable, a leader of the Communist Party offshoot Committees of Correspondence for Democracy&Socialism claims that Obama "understands
what socialism is. A lot of the people working with him are, indeed,
socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent
Marxists. There are a lot of people like that in Chicago who have
worked with him for years..."
This leads to two key questions.
A Were the Hawaii and Chicago networks connected?
B Did Obama's connection to Frank Marshall Davis in any way influence his progress up the Chicago political ladder?
If the answer is yes to both, there are significant implications.

September 6, 2009 - 08:04 ET by sevenSoros funded Climate progress was celebrating a nasty appointment. The envirionmental movement is just a foul movement. They applauded a hostile jerk appointment. His leaving is even a setback because it shed light on the green agenda.
It was a racist attack on whites and conservatives.
Van Joans moans that whites were pushing pollution into poor black neighborhoods.
Tax and trade was reparation for slavery?

Amazingly, sleazy Joe not only celebrated a nasty appointment, but defended this piece of human waste even up until 2 days ago. Today poor Joe is in mourning. Absolutely shameful.
wow! didn't Van Jones
September 6, 2009 - 08:16 ET by JAJTwow! didn't Van Jones "color of Change" go after Beck and thought he could get away with it, Beck did a great job exposing who this guy is.
but i think he was rearranged somewhere in the white house or will come back in a year, sort of like Samantha Powers.JAJT
Is Van Jones Really Out of the Loop?
September 6, 2009 - 10:21 ET by John Galt1776That is the important thing, not his title.
If Obama says he is the boss he is still the boss. Today people can run their offices and manage others from virtually anywhere with a smartphone, computer and fax.
There are plenty of ways through organizations like ACORN that Jones could still get paid.
So he may have resigned from his official job but he is too well entrenched with Jarrett and in the system to be out of the loop. You can bet on it.
No Ink for VJ
September 6, 2009 - 08:22 ET by DeskpilotNever mind that the news release of this was in the lo-dark hours of a 3 day weekend originally designed by LABOR UNIONS, Never mind that it was not on a typical Friday news dump after 5:00.
What is MOST telling about the timing of this resignation release is that it won't see front page ink in national papers. Imaging the Sunday Editionof WaPo or NYT: OBAMA CZAR THROWS SELF UNDER BUS. A headline that could live for forever. No, no ink whatsoever. Sunday papers were already printed and in the distribution network. None print EXTRAs anymore. Labor day papers are nothing but pre-printed fluff, just waiting for the overtime paid pressmen to run on Sunday night, and Tuesday papers won't be much better.
This story is INTERNET and TeleProMpter (see: TOTUS) based only.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read it in English, You're welcome - Deskpilot, AM(H)1 (AW), USN (Ret)

September 6, 2009 - 08:50 ET by Cool ArrowA complicit MSM sets the stage once again.
Most of America is completely unaware of Van Jones' racist, communist, ways because such was not reported on by MSM.

What's there to report, say
September 6, 2009 - 08:58 ET by ThisnThatWhat's there to report, say the MSM? Czars aren't part of the Government; therefore, they don't exist, and certainly don't need to be reported on. Move on, they say. Nothing to see here.

Obama's upcoming Health Care speech
September 6, 2009 - 08:56 ET by ThisnThatHow will this affect Obama's health care speech next week? Will he mention this? I'll bet he will -- he'll use it to attack Republicans. That's his nature, and what he's done in the past. He still thinks his way is best, and he deparately wants to apease his base. It'll be interesting, to say the least.

No Change
September 6, 2009 - 09:14 ET by BondPlainBondJust as Tom Daschle continues to run health care issues from outside the White House, public knowledge, Van Jones will be keeping in constant touch with his close friend, Valerie Jarrett, on issues he feels are important the White House propagandize to further influence and push through "their" agenda to fundamentally change the lanscape of America.
Jones' parting words probably were, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. So I'll be telecommuting to the White House from now on -- just like Daschle. It's great for the "green" thing. Have a great weekend everybody! Talk to you Tuesday morning!"
We must stay vigilant
September 6, 2009 - 09:51 ET by VinncyGVan Jones will operate in the background, he is Gods trusted friend, he will not sever ties. Our next concern is the FCC Czar and his revolutionary talking points. The more Obama sees that we are wise to his shenanigans the more measured his approach, ramming things down our throats will be toned down. With that said, he will reach the point of knowing the game is over and could very well throw their entire plan into action against this country and create the chaos they so long want to see. We must be especially concerned that our voting rights stay intact and our right to choose remains unencumbered.
We should demand from the DOJ what background information was done on Van Jones and these other radical communists in this administration. This will also put Holder to the fire as well. We as usual can't expect the mainstream media to wake up they have their own agenda which doesn't include our right to know.
notice the reasons he had to resign
September 6, 2009 - 10:54 ET by candanceNone of the Democrats ever said he was wrong or he messed up. They believe the right wing conspiracy went after him. Money quote from the article:
Howard Dean, former head of the Democratic National Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" that he thought Jones "was brought down" and that his resignation was "a loss to the country."
How dare conservatives hold him to his own ideals.
Once again, it's perfectly fine for a convicted criminal and 9/11 truther to be in charge of spending tax dollars, as long as he's on our side.
John Dean said that all
September 6, 2009 - 11:50 ET by metaphorsbwithuOn the Sunday morning shows - John Dean said that all Jones did was sign a piece of paper on a clipboard someone waved in front of him.
David Axelrod claimed he didn't know much about the issue because it "just broke" and he's been concentrating on health care. David Gregory did have the guts to ask Axelrod if the White House was upset about Jones' remarks and Axelrod stuttered a bit but did his usual tap-dance.
The mainstream media won't dare to push hard on the "right-wing conspiracy mantra because it opens up actually revealing what Jones has said and done (besides signing a piece of paper and making a disparaging remark about Republicans.
These left-wingers have no shame.

September 6, 2009 - 12:16 ET by jessieHThat's one down.............. Who's next?
left the way he came in
September 6, 2009 - 12:36 ET by katainkent"The resignation was disclosed without advance notice by the White House in a dead-of-the-night e-mail on a holiday weekend."
Small victory against an illegal power grab that will be painted as the machinations of the evil right wing conspiracy (A loss to the country?! WHICH country?!). And he'll likely be replaced with someone who's been scrubbed clean and be far harder to argue down.
But hey, yay for the Constitution. For once.

September 6, 2009 - 12:33 ET by Radical1979I love that Howard Dean (on FNC Sunday) that Jones was a Yale educated lawyer, really intelligent, a loss to the country, etc. Dean then said Jones signed the 9/11 document because a clipboard was shoved in front of him and he didn't read it. If all the other stuff doesn't prove Jones wasn't qualified, Dean's words prove it. Who, especially a lawyer, signs anything without reading it?
is van jones REALLY out ?????
September 6, 2009 - 13:06 ET by lunaticcringeradiocommunists are like roaches they scurry under the light of scrutiny, so therefore i contend the obama admin has not lost his phone number or deleted his email, van jones has merely lost his spotlight and due to this it's going to make him an even more angry, bitter, hate-filled, vengeful, radical. he WILL still be active.

It doesn't get any more in your face despicable than this...it really doesn't, thank goodness the American people have had it with the imbecile, pompous attitude these leftist arseholes have and are on the march.

BT, I for one am sure
September 6, 2009 - 21:11 ET by ThisnThatBT, I for one am sure enough hoping that the dam has broke and that Americans have awakened for good. I've never seen a President's poll numbers drop so quickly. And I'm very hopeful that Obama's instincts remain true. I said during the campaign that if you get under Obama's skin, just a little, he lashes out bigtime, in a very immature manner. I'm waiting on him to really melt down now, soon. Pass the popcorn.

I've been one that is so sick of seeing his face everyday on some kind of a 'breaking news story' that wasn't breaking news whatsoever, I would immediately mute it or click it off..as bad as I hate to state this once again...bring it on 'O'...bring it on...please keep blathering with your mouth wide open at all times, this week is going to be so interesting by Friday it's not funny, we all know what the likes of the cartoon characters in msnbc are going to do on their funny show, along with the rest of their brethren...what is going to be interesting are the polls, the TH/TP people speaking out and marching to DC in the meantime. ;-)
