Man, did BO fuck-up big-time again or what?

The White House might be in full-denial mode but this guy joins the rest of BO's crew who are just too 'controversial'

ABC News reports:

A top environmental official of the Obama administration issued a statement Thursday apologizing for past incendiary statement and denying that he ever agreed with a 2004 petition on which his name appears, a petition calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into “evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur.”
Van Jones, the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is Number 46 of the petitioners from the so-called “Truther” movement which suggests that people in the administration of President George W. Bush “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.”
In a statement issued Thursday evening Jones said of “the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.”

He did not explain how his name came to be on the petition.

So who exactly is this POS in the WH (besides BO of course)? Well, for starters, a self-proclaimed Communist. A vulgar Marxist commie. A supporter of cold-blooded cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. A 9/11 Truther . A racist hater, whose hatred extends to the United States. And as far as his current job is concerned, here's a dick who sees the "green jobs" position as a tool for overthrowing capitalism. Bottom line, you have the complete left-wing nightmare package. Way to go BO!

You forgot- he's also a founder of 'Color of Change'.

But who do you expect as 'Special adviser for Green Jobs'? Glenn Beck maybe?

OP, and thanks for the OP Boon, is about Van Jones, not Jeremiah Wright - but I see you connection and pun.

Van Jones statements - which I've read about of context - seems odd sometimes.

Is he being exagerrated by the opposition, or is he a loose canon loonie.

I don't know.

Both sides of the aisle will have people on the fringe: the GOP had John Ashcroft, who was a member of the secretive "Family," for example.

It seems Van Jones is on the other end.

So let me reverse it. If you don't want me to look at your posts, then don't post

For the record: I agree. Not very nice.

(And I think I have broken your code. When you are not using faul language, you are serious, right ?)

Obama 'green jobs' adviser quits amid controversy
By WILL LESTER (AP) – 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's environmental adviser Van Jones, who became embroiled in a controversy over past inflammatory statements, has resigned his White House job after what he calls a "vicious smear campaign against me."
The resignation, announced early Sunday, came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.
Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
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."

The Associated Press: Obama 'green jobs' adviser quits amid controversy

Strange place the US. It likes to present itself as oh so PC, and post racial, but when it comes down to it I think a large percentage of the white population are stuck in some sort of social timewarp. Scared and insecure with it.

So he's resigned, no big deal. In any other western nation I know the Right wing braying would have just been laughed at. Strange place, when it comes down to it I think many there are grappling with their diminishing role in the nation, and Amerka's diminishing role in the world.

Hows about his approval ratings,,looks bad again for snoop doggie

Quote:

Poll Disaster For Obama
THIS week's polls are a disaster for President Obama. The Rasmussen poll has his approval dropping to 45 percent, after several weeks at 49 percent. The Zogby poll has it even lower -- at 42 percent.
Worse yet, he's losing his political base:
* People un- der 30 -- long a key element of his support -- give him no better than break-even ratings, with 41 percent approving and 41 percent disapproving of the job he's doing, according to Zogby.

* Only 75 percent of Democrats, who formerly have supported Obama strongly, now approve of his performance in office. Zogby reports that this represents a slide of more than 10 points over the summer.
* Even among blacks, only 74 percent approve of the job he's doing (also a drop of more than 10 points).
* Hispanics, who voted for him by a margin of more than 40 points, now break even (36-36) when rating his performance.
Independents, the key swing group in our politics, now deliver a sharply negative 37-50 verdict on Obama's job performance. The elderly also give him negative ratings by 42-51.
This poll-implosion leaves Obama with few good options.
He obviously can't get 60 votes in the Senate for his health-care proposals in their current form. No Republican will support them, and moderate Democrats aren't likely to vote with him

That's not as bad as this:

Bush's Final Approval Rating: 22 Percent

Heh...by the time everyone is back to work on Tuesday, Van Jones will have been a distant memory. Isn't that convenient?

Milkman · 07-09-2009, 06:07 AM

^ and ^^,

Poll, schmoll.

I expect BO's poll number to decline because of some of his policy mannuervers and also because of the economy - the latter which won't get better. Over time BO's political acumen in Washington should improve.

BO's election is 3 years and 2 months away. That's an eternity.

But the mid-term Congressional elections are 14 months away, and as historical common the opposing party not in the White House will likely pick up some seats.

Nonetheless, polls mean nothing - for now.

Boon Mee · 07-09-2009, 06:38 AM

Some seats? It's gonna be a rout!

britmaveric · 07-09-2009, 06:45 AM

Glenn Beck - 1, BO - 0

Hmmm wonder who Beck gets after next? (plenty of worthy targets left)

Yes, BO's 'administration' is a target-rich environment!

blackgang · 07-09-2009, 07:59 AM

What you trying to say Milky, all The Fairy can say is look at the polls he is a great great pres and he is a coon and we elected him anyway,
so it means nothing to me as I knew he was an empty shirt elected by black and late teen votes that have never had bean and biscuits for breakfast and had to work til late in the evening for supper that consisted of the same thing.
