White House environmental adviser Van Jones resigned Saturday after weeks of pressure from the right over his past activism.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement announcing his resignation just after midnight Saturday. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

He continued: "I have been inundated with calls -- from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here I though Hussein O was going to heal and improve race relations in this country.

Seems the exact opposite is actually happening.

Racist?

I guess the next people to resign will be all the Republicans in the house and senate who are pushing the whole Obama birth certificate conspiracy.

Yes he absolutely was........listen to some of his speeches.I'll try to find the urban white kids shoot schools up but black kids only kill other black kids speech and post a link to it.

Yes everyone across the spectrum told him to stay and fight....................except Dear Leader.I'm sure this lunatic did not make this decision on his on.He was obviously ordered to step down by the Messiah.

What, did he finally produce a birth certificate?!

#12 for 10

Fuzz.......the difference is most of the looney right wingers who would be pursuing Obama from the birth certificate angle are not in an elected position of the government.Unlike the left who seems to parade their elected nuts around and even put them in high level government positions(Pelosi would be the most glaring and best example).

Ron

Fuzz..............here ya go.

Here's a little more background about the man that you may not know:

He was a self-proclaimed COMMUNIST, ANARCHIST, and BLACK NATIONALIST while he was a law student at Yale Law School. Speaking about his time in jail (he was arrested at a protest), Jones said "I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.' I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary."

In the late 1990s, Van Jones was involved in Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a multi-racial activist collective with Marxist influences.

I posted it once. A "certificate of live birth" won't even get you a DL in New Jersey.

Produce the "long form" and get over the controversy.

^ How many more of Hussein O's henchmen are "closet" racists like Van Jones??

Hmmmmm???

17 for 15

LOL

15: I watched that entire video. I didn't see anything racist. Did you watch it? He is talking about a universal loving response and helping young white men who are suffering emotionally so much that they shoot up their school.

14: You aren't paying attention then.

Funny.......................as soon as facts are presented as to Jones racism Fuzz disappears.I'm certain that until today Fuzz had no idea there are racist of many colors in the far left wing of HIS party.Maybe he had to contact dear Leader for a response????????
