How did Van Jones get through FBI and Secret Service investigations?

This will be a huge question over the next two weeks.

When a president is elected by a Democratic process, I think he should be able to appoint whoever he wants to. I mean, Bush was surrounded by Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, two of the worst scumbags you could find anywhere. I don't remember ever being "angry" at Bush for choosing his partners in crime.

You seem to be forgetting or ignoring one important fact; that Obama and the rest of the Democrats were eleceted by a MAJORITY OF AMERICANS in November after running on a platform of saving the economy the GOP put into a deathspin, health care reform, ending the war in Iraq, and modernizing our energy sources to make them more envioronmentally friendly and efficient.

So, yes - they asked the people and this is what they said they wanted. You don't support it but the majority of Americans did. Maybe now you know how so many people felt during the previous 8 years.

Its simple, 0bama and his advisers knew exactly who and what Van Jones was and shared his beliefs and vision, so he personally gave Jones two thumbs up.

Does Glenn Beck have a crush on Van Jones?


Stupid question. It's getting very entertaining how desperate the leftists are when trying to defend anything and anyone connected to their leader.

How did Obama get through FBI and Secret Service. If political candidates had to get through these clearances, how many would make it? Think about that the next time you vote. These people have access to information most of us do not see. I find that very scary.

To answer your question: Do Czar's have to go through a clearance? Maybe that is why Obama has Czar's. Is the mob running our nation? If it looks like a duck, it acts like a duck and talks like duck; it probably is a duck.

Jones was one of the founders of Color Of Change, which is the organization which cost Beck nearly all of his advertisers. So, he is taking his revenge on his show.
