Obama should re-hire Van Jones

He should say, I was wrong not to support him. He is a good man. I need him. America needs him. I am the President. End of story.

And then watch Beck shit is pants in apoplexy.

1. I totally agree

I just wish he did not sign that conspiracy petition. I believe this is what brought down this true progressive.

7. Certainly

If he decided to re-hire Van Jones, it would certainly make the republicans happy. ^^

9. Anybody refusing to sign a "conspiracy petition" is not suited to serve in government.

It has been proven that important evidence relevant to the greatest mass murder in this country's history has been purposely withheld from "investigators."

That's what's known as a mass murder conspiracy, be the cover-up after the fact or otherwise.

Think for yourself. Stop letting the people in government control your brain.

11. Obama should hire David Icke then. He has been fighting the reptillians way longer than Van Jones

12. Your post makes no sense.

I can't even imagine what went through your head unless you're just displaying some kind of nonsense you've been programmed to respond with.

I'd be interested in hearing from you again.

13. I agree

Even if Van Jones was right to agree with 9/11 transparency/accountability he should have refused to sign the petition. Even if the 9/11 Commission failed to conduct a proper investigation we should pretend they did.

2. Obama is too pragmatic to commit that kind of political suicide

The backlash would be too strong. I think a less controversial man or woman on that job would be more advisable.

5. To what end?

Do you think that the RW noise machine would be up in arms about Obama campaigning to bring the Olympics to the US if the various controversies were based in reality. Everything he does winds up being part of a manufactured controversy.

There has to be a point where this makes the controversial choice is no less advisable than the less controversial choice.

4. I think he should hire Ron Paul instead.

Although I don't think he would like working for a black man.

6. Why should Obama hire an anti-Government racist?

People who want to dismantle the Government shouldn't be put in positions within the Government. The * years are a fantastic testament to that.

8. Ron Paul is a vile human

An open racist whose stated and open goal is to divide the country. Why is he even allowed to serve in our government?
