Instead of creating more czars Mr. Obama, start creating some jobs!

Over the past few days, due to Van Jones being under intense scrutiny, the czars that President Obama has picked put are getting a closer look by members of the media, Republicans, and by voters. Van Jones, President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” was caught saying and doing things that are quite controversial. He referred to Republicans as “assholes” several time while answering questions at a forum, signed a 9/11 petition essentially saying that the Bush Administration was behind the attacks, blamed pollution on “white people,” and referred to himself as a “communist.”

This raises serious questions about the Obama White House. Either they knew of this guy’s controversial past and didn’t care or they did not properly screen him. One of the two is the case and hopefully we can get the answer as to what it is, but I have a feeling they knew all about Mr. Jones. Now, he should be fired or resign within the next few days. If not, Mr. Obama will just be putting another distraction on the table and giving his opponents more ammunition to use leading up to his important speech on Wednesday night. This man is a complete radical that has no place as a special adviser to the president.

Now, here is a list of Mr. Obama’s czars: 

1) Afghanistan Czar: Richard Holbrooke

2) AIDS Czar: Jeffrey Crowley

4) Border Czar: Alan Bersin

5) California Water Czar: David J. Hayes

10) Economic Czar: Paul Volcker

11) Energy and Environment Czar: Carol Browner

12) Faith-Based Czar: Joshua DuBois

13) Great Lakes Czar: Cameron Davis

14) Green Jobs Czar: Van Jones

15) Guantanamo Closure Czar: Daniel Fried

16) Health Czar: Nancy-Ann DeParle

17) Information Czar: Vivek Kundra

18) International Climate Czar: Todd Stern

19) Intelligence Czar: Dennis Blair

20) Mideast Peace Czar: George Mitchell

21) Pay Czar: Kenneth Feinberg

23) Science Czar: John Holdren

These men and women need to have their past examined and see what shakes out. Here is a link to Glenn Beck’s list of the czars and their background. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29391/

For all of you will say that Beck is a kook and his list cannot be trusted, go look up the information yourself. I did, I could not find any inaccuracies and I doubt you will be able to either. Attack the source of the information, but do your homework and see where it leads. You might realize that Mr. Beck’s list reflects the reality of these people. I did my homework and wrote an article about it.
