Amid Controversy Over Obama's Green Jobs Adviser, GOP Renews Criticism of White House

[WillowTree]

A new video has surfaced showing President Obama's green jobs adviser suggesting that only white students commit mass school killings like Columbine as Republicans renew criticisms of the large number of so-called "czars" in the White House.

Van Jones, the founder of Green for All, which focuses on creating environmentally friendly jobs in poor areas, has come under withering attacks in recent days following revelations that he called Republicans "assholes" and that he once signed a petition supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which claims that the the Bush administration allowed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to happen.

In the latest video to surface, Jones is seen in December 2005 making controversial statements on the racial differences in school violence.

"You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never," he said. "They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it was these suburban white kids.' It's only them. Now a black kid might shoot another black kid

"But it's symptomatic of the extreme leftward lurch of this administration," he added. "It's this farthest left administration we've ever had in American history. Obama makes FDR look like Barry Goldwater."

"It is the latest call for more oversight of such advisers, who are appointed by the president but don't require congressional approval, as Cabinet members do. Past administrations have used czars, but critics say Obama is taking the practice to an unprecedented level."

"But the latest controversy has also given Republicans more ammunition to attack the number of czars in the Obama administration. By some counts, Obama has more than 30 czars managing everything from the restructuring of the domestic auto industry to closing the Guantanamo Bay prison to ending the genocide in Darfur.

Pence called on Obama to suspend appointment of additional so-called "czars" until Congress has a chance to examine the background and responsibilities of such individuals, as well as to determine the constitutionality of such appointments.

Jones' full title is "special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation" at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

"Congress, Republicans and Democrats, have been asleep at the wheel on this," Peters said. "The appointment of 30-plus czars is an attempt to short circuit the Constitution to get around Congress.

"If Obama loves this country and respects the Constitution, he needs to knock it off with the czars and obey the Constitution," he added."

GOP is a non-party right now.

Why should anyone care what they think?

Why don't you tell me what about these "czars" is un-constitutional? And if it's such a big deal, why wasn't anyone complaining when Bush II made 26 of them?

 

[EriktheRed]

Notice how all of a sudden the party that's supported a strong executive doesn't like it so much now?

[rightwinger]

Seriously, Is there anything the GOP doesn't criticize?

Can someone point to one thing Obama has done that the GOP supported?

can you point out things the DNC did in support of Bush?

Van Jones has so much baggage it was just a matter of time before it was all started being uncovered. He called himself a communist and black nationalist. Isn't that enough alone to make sure this guy doesn't step foot in the WH. Obama's arrogance is very clear. And I do believe he has racist tendencies. Obama knew what Jones was all about and still appointed him as the green jobs adviser. No jobs for whitey with Jones in charge. Correct that, the union white guys will be the exception.

It's interesting that the only ones saying that are folks that will vote for Obama regardless of what he says, or does. The "average citizen" is disappointed in the change they got, as the polling supports, and if he doesn't show at least SOME leadership soon, he'll really have his work cut out to get their vote again. He's already lost a shitload of votes he won't get back.

Yes I can..
After 9-11, the whole country rallied around Bush and gave him whatever powers he requested. He took that power and trashed the country
