Van Jones has resigned. The Obama Green Energy Czar, communist, left wing radical, resigned on Saturday, September 5, 2009.
From the Guardian UK, September 6, 2009:
“Obama adviser Van Jones resigns”
“Jones was linked to efforts suggesting government role in 9/11 attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans”
“An adviser to Barack Obama has resigned in a row over past inflammatory statements, the White House said .
Van Jones, who worked with the White House council on environmental quality, was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
“On the eve of historic fights for healthcare and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” Jones said in his resignation statement. “They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
He said he had been “inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight”, but he said he could not in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.
Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said only that Jones “continues to work in the administration”.”
