Gibbs Responds To Van Jones Resignation

The underside of the President’s bumper must be getting messy… his grandmother, Van Jones, Bill Richardson, Rev. Wright, Daschle….

Now how about the others? John Holdren, Cass Sunstein, that “Diversity” czar… So much corruption.

Vann Jones quit. Obama did not fire him. That tells alot. Apparently Obama doesnt feel that Jone’s views are all that unacceptable.

That’s about as clear as mud.
GEORGE: So the president doesn’t endorse in any way the things that Van Jones said before but the president doesn’t want him to go?
GIBBS: He doesn’t but he thanks him for his service.”
He doesn’t what? He “doesn’t endorse in any way the things that Van Jones said” or he “doesn’t want him to go”?

And yet another one ran over by the Obama bus!

The Obama administration threw Van Jones under the bus. Another in the growing list of disappointments and failures.

Unbelievable that the pres. wanted him to stay. America wake up, this pres is so scary, it tell volumes of where he is going to take this beautiful country. He will do ANYTHING to wheel his power and the majority of Americans voted him in after being warrend about his associates. How blind were those who voted for him. Open your eyes America!!!!!

The American people are getting pretty fed up up with this Marxist POTUS. Enough rope and well, you know the rest. Let’s just hope the damage done can be controlled; our now historical debt alone is a national security issue, we can’t afford more of this nonsense. Surely soon, mouthpiece Gibson will realize he no longer has credibility.

Obama will come out and sugar coat this for everyone. Now people, you all know that Obama had no clue what this man had said in his past. Remember Rev. Wright. I cant believe Obama did not fire him. We need Donald Trump as a YOU ARE FIRED czar.

Van Jones did not commit any crime, did not evade taxes, did a reasonable job for the past 8 months and he is forced to resign on the basis of his views expressed almost a decade ago. What is going on? Are people no longer able to freely express their views and the administration will not stand by their appointees. No wonder the disappointed independents are moving away from the Kowtowing administration to special interests.

Wish Gibbs, and a few others, would go too!

how can ANYONE trust this character Obama who seems to put political viability and personal aggrandisement above ANYONE. Whether family, friends, mentors, father-figures, fundraisers, pastors, political supporters, or associates. As soon as their true radical nature, or any potential criminality, comes out to the public Obama abandones them. Or even just uses them in speeches for personal gain to make political points (like calling an eldery, ill grandma a “typical white person”) or denying long time mentors and the “person who brought me to Jesus” after decades. This guy is scary.

i have to laugh at some of jones’ “defenders”… many of his comments were made months ago… not decades – and anyone who was in support of a communist group just 3 years ago has no business advising the president. more than that, it says a lot about our president that he feels the need to surround himself with many people who feel much the way van jones does.

Jones is a QUITTER!

“The president thanks Van Jones for his service in the first eight months helping to coordinate renewable energy jobs and lay the foundation for our future economic problem…”
“and lay the foundation for our future economic problem…”?
Freudian slip? Gaffe? Truth?

Good work “FOX NATION”

Is Glen Beck now in charge of White House personnel decisions?
What kind of independent leaders and visionaries does the Administration expect to attract if the White House will not stand behind its choices and its people?
Van Jones is the organizer of a movement whose vision has caught the imagination of this generation. The ‘green jobs’ economy is a driving motif of the President’s re-investment strategy. As a staffer, he lowered his profile and acted appropriately for a member of the team..
It is clearly hard for the White House to build its complete, strong team – and this timid retreat in the face of whacky acusations will not make it any easier to attract talent.

1 down and 34 radicals to go–33 CZARS and 1 President!!

These people need to be looked at more closely: John Holdren, Cass Sunstein, that “Diversity” czar…Mark Lloyd. So much underground policy. Considering the complete lack of coverage this garnered form ABC, NBC, CBS, Major Newspapers, I’m surprised that he actually resigned. I also find it hard to believe that the Obama administration knew nothing about his radical views. Valerie Jarrett senior advisor stated Jones had been looked at for a long time.

What was that ? The Babbler In Chief didn’t want him to go but doesn’t agree with him ?? Hmmm, sounds like Mr. O’Babble’s explanation of how he managed to sit in Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years yet never heard the racist and anti-American remarks that made Wright infamous.

Ignoring Van Jones is exactly why FOX has become the major power in news today. But this time, you and the other now worthless liberal, distorting news outlets offend me as an American letting a monster like that go unscathed.

A-Voice-In-The-Wilderness—-you could not have said it any better.

Van Jones Resigns – Obama Accepts
That’s it? Done? No more said? Okay, then how about our elected officials start asking some questions lik: Who are these Czars? Who chose them? How are they paid? Why are they making deicisions our Congressmen are elected to make? I would suggest they get some answers and be prepared for the 9-12 March on Washington. We will be there, to DEMAND answers. A huge thank you to Glenn Beck and Fox News for keeping us informed of these “villains” in our Republic. Carla

Bagdad Bob “Gibbs” still has trouble with the truth. He should be the next to go.

The vast majority of you who have left comments thus far sound like uneducated hillbillies. A true conservative knows what Van Jones said was wrong but doesn’t use it as an excuse to rant about nonsense. Wake up, read, and bring up the real issues.

The most advisor driven President of all time can’t get a better vetting team? There must be money in the budget for that. Haven’t they been humiliated enough with their (his) poor choices? “Poster boy” needs to do some better research and not worry about his next TV appearance or GQ cover shot as much. Let’s HOPE this guy is Carter #2 and he’s out at the end of his term. Wake up America….he is taking us down the wrong road.

If Van Jones is a communist what does that make you? — take to the streets if what you say is true otherwise you’re just sheep.

Such burning questions from George & ABC. I’m sure the Obama administration is down in the war room right now quivering wondering where ABC is going with this

I think Obama was doomed from the start because there are a lot of closet racists out there who failed to give him a chance. I understand the conservative/liberal differences but the comments have little or nothing to do with that. I feel sorry for the true Republicans and Conservatives who get grouped in with the rest of the bigots who are jobless and probably have been for a while, and yet blame it on a president who inherited this mess.

Obama wouldn’t of hired Jones, if he didn’t find his OUT SPOKEN views not only ok but something he wanted pushed for. It should be obvious that OBAMA MUST SHARE THE SAME VIEWS AS JONES.

You have to remember George Steph is on Rahms morning Spin calls. He is a puppet for the Obama admin. Rahm is his buddy and ABC news will never to their job to report and inform and protect Americans with truth in journalism if it Negatively imkpacts the Obama admin.
We just have to get our news on the blogs and Fox. than god for now we still have them.

I first encountered Jones over a decade ago when he was running Police Watch, a group that purported to monitor police brutality claims in the SF Bay Area. (Somehow, under Jones’ watch, very few of the cops they stalked were black.) I attended a seminar put on by Jones’ group for lawyers who handled civil rights cases on behalf of those injured at the hands of the police. At that seminar, Jones pointedly ignored the white male lawyers in attendance who made comments or asked questions during the appropriate times in each session, while indulging every question or comment made by the black lawyers present. It was so obvious that several white attorneys attending commented on it. Finally, having been ignored once too many times, I loudly stated, “Question here!” before Jones tried again to “move on” to the next topic. For all his loudly-trumpeted learning, the Yale Law graduate could not answer what I subsequently researched to be a fairly simple question about a question of federal-state law in such cases, a “reverse-Erie” issue for those in the know. Call Jones’ attitude what you will, but in light of his entire record I call it racism.
I, too, was disappointed by GS’ failure to press for direct answers to his questions to Gibbs on this issue. C’mon, George! Ask David Gregory for some pointers on how to properly press White House press secretaries for answers. He used to be pretty good at it.

We have two problems; 1) An administration that is attempting to change the “freedom-first blueprint” of our country without amending the Constitution, and 2) A main stream media that will not report those attempts as such.
Van Jones did not swear to uphold the Constitution to get his job. But, ala Obama, would it have made a difference?

========================
This is very bad news. The President has no objection to a radical, anarchist and a reverse racist.
========================
With a “president” like that, we are doomed.

Stephanopolous is just another Useful Idiot and Fellow Traveller in the Media Shills for Obama. He never mentions Jones is a Communist, racist, and essentially hates the USA. Perhaps George should research his “news” stories occasionally. But, of course, he WANTS there to be Communists in the White House!

What gets me about this is you have those ‘crazy right-wing bloggers’ and ‘Faux News’ digging up this dirt, while the MSM talks about Obama’s dog and asks him what ‘enchants’ him. And we’re supposed to be mad at the bloggers and Fox?
I don’t watch Fox News, but I do read some ‘crazy right-wing bloggers’ and I’m incredibly thankful that there’s someone out there digging for dirt. Everyone should be, regardless of his party!

His appointment was an endorsement of Van Jones and his prior activities.

Obama knew VJ and his background. That’s why he wanted him in th WH. He has completely surrounded himself with this kind of scum. He knows he will only be a one term president and he wants to take the nation down as far as he can, as fast as he can. Then those to whom he bows and the dictators whom he appeases will reward him for carrying out their mandate, that being the destruction of America. He is a traitor and any right thinking American must see that…..

This is truly a sad day for America and for all those who died in Korea and Vietnam and those that risked their lives during the cold war.
The Democrats are called commies and its considered being a hater??? The president is OK with appointing a Marxist and people defend that action?!?!
One thing is certain, he is ABSOLUTELY NOT ANOTHER JFK.

George,what else is out there that you and your associates will not report?What Van Jones believes is not worth a hill of beans compared to the media’s failure to report those beliefs.When did curiousity become politically incorrect?

Quick Question…
Anyone got any ideas how we can get rid of Gibbs? Would you buy a used car from this guy? I have never held the White House press corps in very high esteem, but Gibbs actually makes me feel sorry for them.

“Is Glen Beck now in charge of White House personnel decisions?

No, this would not been necessary if the background check had been done! There are requirements of staff working for the Federal Government, which is working for us The People.

Might you want to report all this, George?
Obama’s green appointee is self-described “rowdy black nationalist” who explains that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class “justice.”
I’m sure if Bush had appointed a self-described “rowdy white nationalist” the media would have sat on the story for weeks… uh, huh.
But that was BEFORE the Los Angeles riots. After that, Jones said, “I was a communist.”
Yes, Obama has APPOINTED A COMMUNIST to a White House position. And Obama circumvented the Congress (and probably the Constitution) to do so.
In the interview, Obama’s appointee explained: “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.”
Obama’s is now on record supporting a guy who was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. Supportive lefty groups have described STORM’s agenda as “third-worldist Marxism (and an often vulgar Maoism).”
Obama’s appointee also said he was willing to hide his radicalism, as long as it advanced the radical agenda: “I’m willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.”
And GIBBS says OBAMA doesn’t want him to go!!!!
GEORGE: “…the president doesn’t want him to go?”
GIBBS: “He doesn’t.”

Resign? Does anyone believe BO didn’t throw him out the door of the bus? Get Real!
Meanwhile, maybe George can answer why this story was ignored by Katie and the rest of the little 3 networks? It must be embarassing to explain how this huge story came and ended without a peep from them.
“Sold out” doesn’t even begin to answer that question. Hitch your wagon to Barry and you will go down with him.
Barry is going to need a bigger bus.

czar background checks are not required, as the old job title of assistant to the community organizer commander in chief.
