WASHINGTON — Obama aide Van Jones resigns as environmental adviser amid controversy over past statements.
Give yourselves a hand - all of you who care whether or not an admitted communist, racist, black nationalist, America-hater, 9/11 Truther belongs in the WH.

A job well done my fellow patriots.

Obama still has some explaining to do.

Considering this guy was, what? Supposed to be doing something regarding the environment, yes? I don't see what his political background has to do w/anything. Apparently he was pretty respected in that community. Oh well.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me.They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide," he continued.
Wha??

A vicious smear campaign? How so? By pointing out YOUR past statements, YOUR affiliations, YOUR support for cop-killers and dictators?

Where are the "lies and distortions"?

Good for Van Jones. He had to realize that he was a huge liability for Obama. If only Robert Gibbs would get a clue.

Too bad that it took so long, and too bad that our president would choose someone of such questionable character.
