This Virginia congressman won his largely conservative district in a squeaker last year. Now he is one of the most endangered Democrats in the House and the GOP is gunning hard for his seat.
He voted for Cap and Tax and took a beating for it. Now Perriello must be thrilled to have to defend Obama's choice to have Communist advisors like Van Jones in the White House. As if the unconstitutional, unchecked and unbalanced czar system weren't bad enough (I mean since when does a congressman with any spine sit by and allow a president to sap the power of the legislative branch?), but this particular czar is an admitted Commie. So it comes down to ordinary folks lecturing ignorant congressmen about how the Constitution is supposed to work.
There will be lots of votes between now and the 2010 election, but the one Perriello makes on ObamaCare will be the one that makes or breaks his short-lived congressional career.

Democratic strategist and FOX News contributor Bob Beckel predicted that Jones would be out of a job by Labor Day, and he wondered how Jones got the "czar" post in the first place.
"He's got every right in the world to be a self-avowed communist, but the Secret Service would no more allow a self-avowed communist into the White House as they would Charlie Manson, so that's what I don't get," Beckel said.
"There's something more in here about the breakdown of the system. Yes, it broke down with the Obama administration, but it also broke down with those people who are responsible for doing the background check," he added.
I agree with you, 110%. Little by little Obama will self destruct over his agenda's and resigning Czars, and then be muzzled in 2010. Then, he will be considered the worse President in History. Too bad the people who voted for him didn't have time to do their homework beforehand. Yes, Obama education does matter.
Didn't the "czars" begin with what has been entitled the "drug czar" during the beginning of the "war on drugs?" How many czars have been proposed under Obama?
