Van Jones
President Obama's Shadow Government has begun to attract attention as more is known about the people he has appointed to positions that need no Congressional approval.
The past history of appointee Van Jones has raised some questions. He has been reported to be a radical Communist and black national leader. Jones was appointed by Obama in March as the special advisor for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council of Environmental Quallity.
Jones' duties include helping to craft job-generating climate policy and to ensure equal opportunity in the administration's energy proposals.
In August, it was reported that Jones is a co-founder of Color of Change. He has self-described himself as a "rowdy black nationalist" and boasted in a 2005 interviews with the left-leaning East Bay Express that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class justice.
Jones was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM). The organization was a group of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. It became one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
One of Jones associates included Elizabeth Martinez, a long-time member member of the Communist Party USA. She sits along side former Weathermen radical, long time friends of Obama, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohm on the board of the Movement for a a Democratic Society. Jones son is named after the late Marxist revolutionary leader Amilcar Carbral
With such a history, it is obvious that Jones would never survive a congressional hearing so instead Obama added him to the Shadow Government with its collection of Czars so that an investigation of his past would not be required. By doing this, the transparency that Obama promised during the campaign could be circumvented.
Obama's long time connection with other Communist-leaning revolutionists can no longer be hidden. That he would bring one into the White House has brought attention to the past that he avoided being exposed during the campaign. Now every person that has been appointed to Obama's Shadow government is being scutinized and no amount of diversion can keep their past activities hidden.

Maybe America need go back to some old school reality were character matters along with guilt by association these rules of judgment stay in place people like dirt bags Barack Obama, Michelle Obama,Van Jones,and the rest of the czar's and Staff
I was in the first gulf war and agree the white house is full of a bunch of dirt bags. I retired from the US Navy, served my country and this bullshit is not what I risked my life for!!!!! I think that unless the American people wake up and stop trading liberty for security (someone much smarter than me said this long ago) we will have neither nor will we deserve it. Too many people take the bribes in the form of welfare, food stamps and all the other government handouts and sit back and laugh about how they do not have to do anything for it. They want the government to take care of them (lazy bastards). I am sick and tired of the way obama is perverting my America. This administration and congress are out of control. I don't know how, but it must stop and stop soon or we will have nothing left worth defending. Kevin

Saw him on television. He didn't seem too intelligient.
Look the scary thing abouyt Van Jones is that he was not vetted. When the FBI does this anyone who ever was part of an organization which wanted to overthrow the us goverment or a self avowed communist would be disqualified for security reasons. Obama has circuumvented this process and now all these Czars have access to classified information and vast amounts of Tax payer dollars. Moreover they do not answer to congress. Wow. I bet this is a dream come true for the guy who started radical organizations like RAW & STORM.
christ it's the fact that he's a bootlicker of big finance that makes obama a threat, and the fact that the very nature of the 'green revolution' is fascist, but that's besides the point... stop focusing on this guy's a muslim, or he's a commie. we need to end the fraking empire that is killing us! it's a financial oligarchy and we must put it down before obama (bush III) feeds us to it!
Yeah, nothing like the good old days when friends of the Prez and VP were handed billion dollar no-bid contracts and people were smart enough to just shut up and be patriots.
