Obama Guidelines for Employment – Van Jones

During the Presidential campaign, Barack Obama told audiences, ‘Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.’  I wonder if he now regrets those words because if we judge him by the standards he set, them we should be very worried!   We are beginning to learn more about the 30+ czars he has appointed, without scrutiny from the press or the Senate. Now that White House green jobs adviser Van Jones has stepped down, Republicans are finally  raising concerns about the administration’s reliance on “czars”, as well as they should be. 

Why does the main stream press seem to turn a blind eye to a self avowed communist who is an adviser to the President?  That alone should have set off all kinds of alarms.  The liberal media should have been out there investigating this man.

This long labor day weekend  Van Jones, Obama’s  Green Czar, resigned.  According to his statement announcing his departure, he  accuses his critics of mounting a “vicious smear campaign” against him.   (NOTE:  there are  minimal comments regarding Jones resignation,  coming from the White House).   “Vicious smear campaign” seems a bit overstated considering Glen Beck brought to light all the past comments and history of this man.  In his own words recorded for prosperity, Van Jones provided all the information necessary for us to be able to see him for who he is, a self avowed communists and 9-11 truther  and the list goes on.  (Do a search on YouTube on Van Jones)

This is a man hand picked by  Obama!  I agree that we should   judge  Obama  by the people with whom he surrounds himself.  We are starting to see a pattern here that is dangerous to the foundation of our country and freedom.

In November of  2008,   “President-elect Obama made a commitment to change the way Washington does business and the vetting process exemplifies that,” said transition spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter.  Obama said he wanted his  team to avoid scandals   other presidential transitions teams had suffered.  The new questionnaire they developed to vet  new people  in Obama’s administration was said to be in keeping with the president-elect’s campaign promise to purge Washington of influence peddling.  The president developed a 7 page questionnaire that was said to probe into hidden corners of their personal and professional lives as well as those of spouses and children.

Remember, Obama and Pelosi promised this  was to be the most transparent and ethical government in our history.  According to the White House: ” Van Jones did not fill out 63 questions of the seven page questionnaire”.  It would appear that both Obama and Pelosi have failed miserably on this promise.
