Obama 'green jobs' adviser quits amid controversy

President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday. Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" 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.

#1 The Obama administration might have tried to bury it on Labor Day weekend nationally, but it's getting play in the first five minutes on BBC International, saying that he had accused the Bush administration of being complicit in 9/11.

#7 Mr. Jones, the black racist communist who graduated from Yale, talks like a gang member. Too bad his reason for resigning was a 'smear campaign', without noting the smears were all his own on tapes and videos.

#11 Glenn Beck statement on resignation of Van Jones

September 6, 2009 - 18:38 ET
The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.
