Job Opening

[scottw]

well, there's one LESS communist advising the president these days, at least not formally anymore, as far as we know...Van Jones...Green Job Czar, about whom there is no evidence that he has ever actually created a job, let alone a green one...has resigned....apparently, Obama sat in his pew for 20 years and never heard a word of his radical, hateful views..wait...no...that was the other guy.....apparently, Obama thought he was rehabilitated and no longer a communist with radical views...wait...no...that was the other, other guy..... how is it that a guy who advises the president and occupies a Czar position in the administration and who was surely, thoroughly vetted...resigns...over what? why, the mainstream media has barely mentioned his existence, let alone anything controversial regarding him, his past or past statements, if Obama likes him, he must be perfect for the job, he's omnipotent.....well, I'm sure they were going to get around to reporting this guys contoversial past at some point, or...perhaps they just don't have a problem with it..maybe between stories about Michelle's biceps and Obama's cool disposition and brilliant mind....good bye Green Job Czar...we hardly knew ye....Wanted...Green Job Czar...duties include.....to be determined...176k plus benefits....non-communists need not apply.......

I think we've got a couple of posters here that are fully qualified to step into Jones' shoes.

Sounds like he wasn't vetted very well.

Snipr...where are my shrimp?

Obamas vetting team leaves a lot to be desired. This is what really bothers me about his administation. Quickie fixes all around, shallow, not well-thought plans put in place, all these czars he appointed that he thinks will skirt congressional approval.

Unfortunately, Jones was extremely well qualified for the position of Green Jobs Czar. I'm not...

This Czar stuff is a bunch of baloney.

Just a way of Obama creating job titles to employ his friends, imho.

Another example of, "you can tell a man's character by the friends he keeps. "

Are you serious? Just cause hes a huge protester and communist, doensnt make him qualified. You are much more qualified that Jones....You are not a communist and you're my favorite tree hugging left wing nut out there...

I vote for Spence!!

[justplugit]

It's been reported that he never filled out the vetting paper work.
Who ever got a job without filling out the application?

[Bocephus]

biggest reality show ever...... who is next to leave the administration? Which one is the Marxist? Which one is the communist? which one is the racist? Which of the czars are sleeping with the interns? and WHO is the mole?? tune in next week to find out...(cut to infomercial on new, IMPROVED Gov't healthcare) LOL seems to me that the anointed one is getting his buddies jobs, telling everyone "No need to check them out, they are friends of mine, trust me, he/she is ok" ; ) these are the people who are running the country, and they cant even get a background check right? Either that, or the nay-sayers spoke up and were shot down as being "not in tune" with average americans, cuz Obama knows best.

Johnny, who from the right is fabricating anything about the Czars? You like to throw around phrases like "being fabricated by the right" because it makes Republicans look bad. Unfortunately, your source for information is Glen Beck. The singer Beck is more credible than Glen Beck when it comes to politics. Look at statements from Democrats and liberals regarding Obama's use of Czars. It's not just a Republican or conservative view.

As for Bush, he did have a lot of Czars. Most of them were probably unessessary, too. But, did he have any that had to resign after their credentials were called into question? Also, you didn't even do any research to see how long any of Bush's Czars held their positions did you? I bet you don't know how many he had 8 months into his first term either, do you?

And since we're on the sublect of Czars and Presidents, what's your take on Obama's promise of transparency? Seems to me that all these Czars can do things without any oversight and no one but the President to report back to.

Granted this is from a site I just Googled up, but they cite 42 Bush administration members who resigned with some degree of controversy.

I didn't read the entire page, but I didn't see any of the people from his list of Czars included.

If you want to go to fringe websites for more reliable information, I can direct you to some nice Bill Clinton scandal pages.

The time to have complained about other presidents' Czars has passed. Obama is the current president, not Bush or Reagan or Clinton.
