President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.Sticking with our theme of the Obama administration and the movies, I'd say this little clip best summarizes Van Jones' ouster. Jones being the dude who wants his bike back.
The real tragedy is that this man, Van Jones, his past and his goals, have gone completely unnoticed by the American public at large. It appears the White House has mastered the art of avoiding controversy by taking advantage of the media's unwillingness to report the truth by quashing the truth before it ever comes to light. Hey Dan Rather. Isn't that dangerous or something?
Van says he was smeared. That it's all lies.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement announcing his resignation just after midnight Saturday. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."Yet he resigned. Listen my American hating brother. It ain't lies when it comes straight from your own fat commie mouth.
He continued: "I have been inundated with calls -- from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future."
