You are correct benny. Van Jones is a self proclaimed radical revolutionary communist!

I don't think that obama can redeem himself anymore. He is clearly not presidential material. He clearly thinks he can run washington like chicago. His relationships and close ties to everyone from rev. wright, up to the present are questionable at best.

I think it is a fair assessment to suggest that obama just wait it out and sit in the oval office, for the next 3 1/2years and do nothing. That would be in the very best interest of the american people. IMHO

Like this is some big deal ? he's a communist ? big deal -  and  I never heard of this Van dude -  Czar- is that like a Duke or a Count ?

Quoted Text

By some accounts, Obama has nearly 30 czars, who are officially called special advisers. The czars cover issues from AIDS and health care to Middle East peace.

Czars are nothing new. They date back to early presidents, including Franklin Roosevelt. Republicans also had czars: Richard Nixon had an energy czar, and George H.W. Bush appointed the first drug czar.

But the positions are not subject to congressional oversight or Senate confirmation, which rankles critics of the administration.

You are kidding right? It doesn't bother you that he's a communist? (not that it doesn't surprise me)And you REALLY never heard of a czar? Well let me enlighten you...k?

Quoted from Sombody

No I don't care if this guy is a communist- nor anyone else.  Why ? ..because I have been self employed my whole life   - I think I'm a real  live capitalist- I have a special skill and a good imagination so I get paid more - I'm not afraid of  communism -  did you have a bomb-shelter in your back yard when you were little ?

Quoted from bumblethru

wow....what the hell does a bomb shelter have to do with all of this?

Sorry but you are all over the map here. You said you didn't know what a czar was.....and so I enlightened you. Simple!

NAACP to Honor Van Jones as 'American Treasure'

White House green jobs adviser Van Jones quit the post last year after he was dogged by past remarks and associations, but that isn't stopping the NAACP from awarding him one of its Image Awards


White House green jobs adviser Van Jones quit the post last year after he was dogged by past remarks and associations, but that isn't stopping the NAACP from awarding him one of its Image Awards -- and even calling him a "American treasure."

Jones, who served as an adviser to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, generated mounting criticism last summer, first for calling Republicans "assholes" during a videotaped address earlier in the year and then for signing a petition in 2004 supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

The latter development, which came on top of several others, was perhaps the most devastating and led to calls for his resignation.

But Jones still has his share of outspoken supporters, and one of them is Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP.

"Van Jones is an American treasure," Jealous writes in an opinion piece posted at CNN.com. "He is quite simply one of the few Americans in recent years to have generated powerful new ideas that are creating new jobs."

Jealous cites Jones' book "The Green Collar Economy," his role in passing the 2007 Green Jobs Act and his work with low-income people in Oakland, Calif.

At the time of his resignation, Jones said the controversies had become an unceasing distraction, and he assailed his critics. ..................>>>>..................>>>>.................http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/23/naacp-honor-van-jones-national-treasure/
