This is a self-proclaimed communist is currently an advisor to Obama. While watching this, keep in mind that one of Obama's campaign promises was that we would bridge the partisan divide. Also, remember that this lady asking the question is a hardcore leftist who is calling Obama out.
Regretful Voter Sep 02, 11:13 AM Report Abuse Reply Stay Classy. Look, just let them talk folks. They are continuing to torpedo their chances of sticking around in those jobs. Keep slamming the conservatives after you guys promised to work with them. Keep alienating those that voted for your team despite mostly conservative leanings. Trust me, it won't happen again. Idiots.
Doesn't change the fact that Van Jones is a self-proclaimed communist and racist black nationalist and is currently an advisor to Obama. Sorry.
Van Jones is not big man on the totem pole that is what glenn beck does not understand(actually he probably does but does not want to explain it to simpletons). In washington, there are only a few men (or women) that have the president's ear, the rest are "furniture". Van Jones is a green nutcase that is why he is a special advisor to president on GREEN jobs. I can understand the outrage if Van Jones was secretary of defense or treasure or state or nominee for any of those, or nominee to the supreme court. He is not important.
I am curious to know in your opinion someone of parallel notoriety to Van Jones (communist, black nationalist, etc) ever appointed by any other president. Honest question here, interested in your opinion.
Who gives a shit? If his title was chief overseer of tastiness of school lunches in america he would have more real power. He has no real power, none, so I don't care what he believes in. Maybe Obama just put him on the governmental payroll as a favor.
The difference between Van Jones and a Cabinet member is a Cabinet member actually has to go through a confirmation hearing. How many more times are people going to make excuses for Obama being associated with extremist? We have Rev. Wright who Obama said was like a family member. Obama went to the church for 20 years, but never knew what Wright was all about. You have Bill Ayers a domestic terrorist who in 2001 said he didn't regret setting bombs, his only regret was that he didnt do more. Obama's excuse for the one was that he was only 8 when Ayers was setting bombs. Wow, what a great guy. Then there is Tony Rezko who Obama was hooked up in crooked land deals with. The guys wife said in 2008 that it was the first time in her adult life she was actually proud of America. There is also Pfleger and Rashid Khalidi.
