Re: Van Jones
From the AP article, these interesting quotes;
Quote:
Howard Dean, former head of the Democratic National Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" that he thought Jones "was brought down" and that his resignation was "a loss to the country."
|
AND
Quote:
Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck repeatedly denounced Jones after a group the adviser co-founded, ColorofChange.org, led an advertising boycott against Beck's show to protest his claim that Obama is a racist.
James Rucker, the organization's executive director, has said Jones had nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn't even know about the campaign before it started.

What makes this really interesting is that no one has heard about his environmental work until recent. It is like he was in the background doing not much other than speaking about jobs and just jobs.
If Obama wanted to get someone who really could get things rolling, Ed Begly Jr. would be a better choice but then again he isn't the 'right' person for the job.
