So, “this President’s agenda” is bigger than anyone person, and Van Jones felt he was going to get in the way of Obama’s plans for America. Part of his resignation letter said people are using lies to distort and divide the country. The only person I see that’s using lies to distort and divide the American people is President Obama. When are the other 37 czars going to resign? Cass Sustein, John Holdren, Ezekial Emanual, we’re waiting on your resignations too.
SylviaSeptember 6th, 2009 - 11:08 am
Don’t despair Democrats…
Obama has a whole cadre of ‘backup’ thugs and rebels to get the job done of turning American into a Third World country.
Sadly, this is only a little bump on the road to destroying America.
Eileen for Freedom/LibertySeptember 6th, 2009 - 11:11 am
America…again…the spin of the Democratzi.
What forced this man to resign, rightfully so, was not due to “lies and distortions” they were the result of his own WORDS.
Remember, America, when Bilderberg Bush-Obama gave that first speech that was copied from another? He said they are “words” “just words”!
Well…Van Commie Jones…that is what killed your credibility as an American and supporter of all things American…WORDS….YOUR OWN WORDS!
He was, he is, an avowed COMMUNIST…his own words!
You underestimated the patriotism of the “real” Americans in this country!
We do not want a Communist in our government…you had to go…try Cuba…Venezuela or Russia!
America…now onto the other appointees who are also a danger to our government!
Call/email/write your reps and tell them you want a vetting system and a confirmation system much like Cabinet members and Supreme Court Justices.
We should have more control over who holds “executive” positions in our White House and under what allegiance they swear!

Gibbs is becoming so good at back-pedaling!! We need to support the legislators who want to put the brakes on these unvetted, appointed but not Congressionally approved czars who report to no-one but the prez and who cannot be called before Congress. This is the transparency the prez promised but ultimately doesn’t want. It is like having the cockroaches run for cover when the kitchen light comes on…..Buh-bye Mr. Jones!!

If the obama admin is cutting edge on one thing, its spin science.
So he can now go back to Rev. Wrights church and wait in the pews for Obama to come back in 2012, unemployed and not getting a Govt. paycheck because the next president can reverse his executive order unsealing his records. And hopefully everything he signs will be null because he doesnt have the authority to be president. Call Me Birther if you want,but he brings it on himself.

Thank You Glenn Beck! One down…30 more to go.
This liar Gibbs and his Messiah Boss who is the King of Lies…got caught! Obama hired this low life Racist/Communist knowing full well who he is, what he has said and done…and what his agenda was…because it fits in with Obama’s agenda…If that were not true…why isn’t the President condemning Jones and his racical America hating and Racist views…and his 9/11 insane truther agenda?

OB maintains his stature with the libs because he did not fire Jones–HA! What a farce. OB gave him the opportunity to quit (or get fired), thereby saving face. The huckster carries on.

Vagabond – A congressman from Louisiana (Scalise) is going to introduce such a bill.
It is going to provide a “sunset” clause on these unelected jerks who could NEVER pass a CONFIDENTIAL background check for the military, much less, a SECRET/TOP SECRET background check. We all need to get our Sens. and Reps. to back any type of bill like this. They are CZARS because Obama knows they could never pass the sanity check.
This jerk must have sat next to Obama in Wright’s church.
Mystic Knights…great ol’ tv shows…ahhhhh, when political correctness wasn’t even invented.

IceCream RoverSeptember 6th, 2009 - 1:19 pm
So sad a great man like Vam is lied about and forced to resing by the likes of Fox news and the Breck propagandist. Hopefully our leader Obama will stay in touch with Mr. Jones and learn from his wisdom. That is where the big divide occurrs between haters and porgressives like myself we are always trying to educate ourselves instead of shooting up schools and drooling on ourselves. I can always tell when a hater enters my Ice Cream parlor when they eat their ice cream it always ends up dripping down their chin. From now on Mint Chocolate will be renamed the Vam Jones, green color will represent ecology and the bits of chocolate will stand for a wise brown man who tried to save our planet.
Shane99September 6th, 2009 - 1:28 pm
We report you decide. The old leftist media is no longer needed. The New York Times finally reported Van Jones’s name at 2:31 am. Burried way back in the back of the paper on page 3. Without an author to the story. VERY STRANGE??? Imagine the people getting their Info from the Rag Times didn’t even know who Van Jones was. They had to make a complete Info dump at 2:31 am after squashing the story from the beginning. Those were the very first words about Van Jones put in the paper. Talk about cover-up!!!Just gives FOX NEWS a few more viewers. Does anyone know who the author of the Times story was? MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same.
TravisSeptember 6th, 2009 - 1:33 pm
Ah, but it’s still handy to line your bird cage with.
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF THAT LOSER VAN JONES WANTED TO SEE (SMELL AND TASTE) WHAT A ‘REAL’ SMEAR CAMPAIGN WAS LIKE BY HAVING CRAP SMEARED ALL OVER HIS FACE, THEN SHOVED DOWN HIS PIE-HOLE ‘TIL HE GAGGED, CHOKED, UPCHUCKED, REGURGITATED IT AND THEN RE-SWALLOWED HIS ‘MEAL’?
YEAH, THAT’D BE NICE- ESPECIALLY FOR THE OTHER DEMO-CRAPS…’CAUSE THEN HE’D HAVE BARNEY (FRANK) BREATH…
AND DEMO-CRAPS ARE FILTHY ANIMALS!
GerrySeptember 6th, 2009 - 1:57 pm
People are watching every move this thug administration makes and they’re not going to be able to get away with too much more after this. Jones is someone Obama was soulmates with, just like Wright and Ayers so this doesn’t come as a surprise to me or anyone else. He said if you want to know me look at the people I surround myself with…..we’re looking Obama and what we see repulses us. Glenn Beck will expose each czar one by one…Obama promised transparency, if he won’t keep to his promises Glenn Beck will. When older Americans see who and what these czars are his numbers will continue to fall. I love watching all this unfold before us,it’s like watching comedy central.
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF THAT LOSER VAN JONES WANTED TO SEE (SMELL AND TASTE) WHAT A ‘REAL’ SMEAR CAMPAIGN WAS LIKE BY HAVING FECAL MATTER SMEARED ALL OVER HIS FACE, THEN SHOVED DOWN HIS PIE-HOLE ‘TIL HE GAGGED, CHOKED, UPCHUCKED, REGURGITATED THEN RE-SWALLOWED IT…HIS ‘MEAL’?

You’re right, Obama knew everything about this thug because they are soulmates, brotha’s with the same I hate America views. If Obama was in shock he would have come out in public yesterday denouncing Jones but as we know he has no backbone the sneaky little weasel he’s in hiding. Boy what a man! Chicken…….embarrassment to our country!

You HAVE to be kidding me right? First of all, you’re not even getting the guy’s name right, so I know your uninformed. Progessives like yourself are always trying to “educate yourselves” instead of shooting up schools and drooling on yourself? You mean indoctrinate children and defend every double standard known to man? This guy was a racist, self proclaimed communist. As for the shooting up schools comment, what do you call black people running around the streets shooting each other? And Gang violence? That’s ok? But you want to pick out the 5 times a white kid goes crazy and shoots up a school, and not mention the thousands and thousands of black on black, black on white, black on whatever violence that happens every day? Forget that, violence has no color, it’s all wrong. And I have a strong feeling you name some ice cream after that nutjob and you’ll be out of business. You’re what’s wrong with this country. Thinking some crazy commie is a “wise man.” Good luck to you and your ice cream shop; I bet if half the people that frequent your shop knew your political beliefs you’d definitely be out of business.
ShirleySeptember 6th, 2009 - 2:20 pm
As an Indep. who didn’t support Obama but watched all news network to get the entire picture of what was going on in our country I can now say I am in total Shock at the other news networks. They simply do not report anything that may tarnish Obama’s reputation. It’s scary to think they have this much power and control. I don’t even watch the others at this point. Having been lied too way too often we only watch Fox News. They are complete and don’t owe Obama their souls. If it weren’t for Fox News we would be clueless.
SherlockSeptember 6th, 2009 - 2:23 pm
Well, of course Van Jones was going to get in the way of the President. If Obama thinks he can hide the backgrounds of his Marxist czars, he is just as stupid and we think he is.

Let’s sit back now and watch for the aftermath of a man scorned. Obama should have either taken up for Jones or come out in public against him and he did nothing.Jones probably won’t be too far away from the white house. I am sure he was told to fake leaving but he can still keep his job in secret. If not who knows how Jones will lash out at the white house for ditching him. He was made a fool of, having no support from Obama or the white house, he was all alone to fight those nasty right wingers alone. How harsh and cruel to be left alone to do your own fighting. If I were Jones I would be extremely mad and ready for revenge against a man I supported and trusted. Maybe his next book will be a Tell All.
TravisSeptember 6th, 2009 - 2:32 pm

Oh, it’s Comrade Chairman Obama’s approval ratings falling off the charts.
DDukeSeptember 6th, 2009 - 3:24 pm
By “get in the way” I suppose you mean he exposed the presidents agenda for what it is : a socialist / communist takeover of the US government, banking, manufacturing, and health care.
Comrade Jones is not the only socialist/communist/radical that the president has surrounded himself with. Too bad he didn’t stay around longer and increase the chances even more than he did of flushing the dems out of office in 2010.

Van Jones is only the tip of the Obama administration communistic iceberg.
“…lies and distortion to distract and divide the country?”
After listening to this interview, I was left waiting for an answer to the original question, “Does the president believe he was a victim of a vicious smear campaign or does he believe Jones’ actions and words merited resignation?”
Well Mr. Gibbs what’s your answer? I’m still waiting.
Was that a rhetorical question? It didn’t sound rhetorical. Why would you ask a question and not expect an answer? George Stephanopoulos, you are a horrible interviewer.
Robert Gibbs you are the King of Spin. I believe the previous title owner was Baghdad Bob.
Bud WeiserSeptember 6th, 2009 - 9:11 pm
OK Baghdad Bobby you lieing sack of communist/nazi trash.How do you sleep at night knowing that you are a man who has sold his soul too the devil himself.This man is like the rest of you trash up in d.c.America hating treasonous liars.I hear that midwest accent in your voice to bad you have turned your back on those mid west values.

LOL. Oh, Pleeeease. Press Sec. Gibbs, a.k.a. Captain-Cover-Our-B*tts. The NBC folks need to re-calibrate their ’sniff-test.’ The internet is not the open sewer for mis-information. Instead, they ought to sniff out the polluted river of junk that’s been flowing from the White House Press Secretary’s Office. Smells like the real-deal to me.
I guess when you wade in and sell nasty smelling junk every day, the sweet smell of truth just might have the essence of a sewer to some of them…
Gibbs got it wrong again. He (Jones)will no longer be in the way of real, honest, correct thinking Americans.
Save your money Mr. Gibbs,we are after your boss too.
Obama the street corner pimp, trying to make a living off of unruly whores. Not even good at that.
DAKSeptember 8th, 2009 - 12:11 am
Dear Van,
You have just experienced the the character, the class, the loyalty of your idol: the little ACORN sock puppet who will turn his back on a loyal brother if it suits him. You are a great Democrat, keep up the good work.
jamesSeptember 8th, 2009 - 2:23 am
black nationalists obama , its all about power,and tax money in their pockets. green jobs are for expanding the likes of acorn,and other commie oganizations,also buying votes.obama and his crew are at war with the american people,c.i.a.,and later the military.hannity on fox news had it right from the jump.obama is finished,lost all credibilty.should be arrested for treason.
So, “this President’s agenda” is bigger than anyone person, and Van Jones felt he was going to get in the way of Obama’s plans for America. Part of his resignation letter said people are using lies to distort and divide the country. The only person I see that’s using lies to distort and divide the American people is President Obama. When are the other 37 czars going to resign? Cass Sustein, John Holdren, Ezekial Emanual, we’re waiting on your resignations too.
