Even those who consume mass quantities of the Kool-Aid will have to admit that Van Jones has no business near the White House.
And Valerie Jarrett aka "the other half of Obama's brain" has some serious issues with character judgment.

If President Obama is sincere in stating that he is not trying to cut costs by pressuring the disabled to forgo critical care, one good way to show that commitment is to walk two blocks from the Oval Office and pull the plug on "Your Life, Your Choices." He should make sure in the future that VA decisions are guided by values that treat the lives of our veterans as gifts, not burdens.
I agree.
That is a good write up on the booklet. I think it summarizes what I've heard some people in the mental health field have said, and why they object to the content. Elderly veterans, and the young who have returned injured - some severely, often have problems with depression, which makes it difficult for them to see clearly, and think rationally. A psychiatrist I heard speak on this said the suggestions in the book make it easy to lead a person to a desired conclusion. He said it is not something any responsible, trained mental health professional would say to a patient.

I agree with you. It's horrible.

The question; what did obama know and when did he know it about Van Jones.

But we all know the answer to that - I'm sure the FBI has all the pertinent information about him, but when they kicked it up to Rahm and Valerie and obama, they dismissed all the radicalism.

They actually think an admitted communist, a racist, a black nationalist, a support of cop-killers and a 9/11 Truther belongs in the White House.

That says volumes of just how much they respect the office.

AP is currently running this story...White House tight-lipped about Obama adviser - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090904/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_adviser - broken link)

And now Mike Pence is calling for Van Jones to step down. Glenn Thrush in the Politico reports: " But the Obama team isn't exactly jumping to back Jones today in wake of revelations that in the past he signed on to one of the "truther" groups that claimed 9/11 was an inside job. Oh, and he called Republicans a**holes in a video earlier this year before he was appointed." Pence calls on Van Jones to resign - Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com

IMHO Van Jones is out this Labor Day weekend when no one is paying much attention...sneak him out the back door.
