Van Jones, Obama’s Green Czar, resigned yesterday according to this WND report…

This is unquestionably significantly due to the stories highlighting Jones’ left-wing radicalism that WND Jerusalem Bureau Chief, Aaron Klein, has chronicled for the past five months and upon which talk radio followed. The mainstream media, however, has been reporting on Jones’ escapades for only the past few weeks when the heat from the man’s idiotic public statements became too significant for them to suppress any longer.

Obama Green Czar, Van Jones, Self-Proclaimed Communist

Responding to an press conference inquiry by a reporter, Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, gave a less than confident response to the future of Van Jones as Obama’s Green Czar. See this informative WND article, which highlights this guy’s radical associations and positions including a recent public conspiracy theory assertion that the 9/11 attack was an inside job orchestrated by the Bush Administration…

How does an individual like this get appointed by the White House to anything? Only in Obama’s America, I guess.

Where are Obama’s Life Records?

Barack Obama, Obama Administration / No Comments

Barack Obama’s entire life story is shrouded in secrecy and obfuscation. Is this just an astronomic coincidence, or does our President have information to hide that would cast a dim light upon the character and image that has been collaboratively choreographed by Obama, his campaign, his Administration, the mainstream media, and his followers & special interests. The coincidence theory is doubtful since it is understood that much money (origin unknown) is being spent in legal fees to assure this information never sees the light of day.

Why is this? Other recent Presidents and even presidential candidates like John McCain have been forthcoming with such information. Why has Barack Obama been granted a pass by everyone - the media, Congress, the Supreme Court and so on and so on?

What does he have to hide? We all know about the birth certificate controversy as progress and setbacks toward having his long-form birth certificate released to the public have been well chronicled by this blog and other truthful news sources. Here, however, is a WND account summarizing this as well as the inexplicable absence of his entire education and employment document records history…

Far Left-Wing Rosa Brooks to Dictate Defense Policy

The lunacy continues as the Obama Administration shores up their appointments to advisory posts, arguably the most influential segment toward dictating administration policy. This time it’s Rosa Brooks, an extreme liberal LA Times columnist who was very outspoken against Bush Administration policy, particularly in its handling of the War on Terror. She actually wrote articles where she placed blame upon the U.S. for the 9/11 al-Qaida attacks. To add insult to injury she worked for George Soros and argued in favor of government control of the media, a historical bellwether to communism.

Well now, by virtue of the new administration’s wisdom and master plan for American “change” she is advisor to Michelle Fluornoy, undersecretary of defense for policy, understood to be one of the most influential in the Pentagon.

What does a far-left columnist from Los Angeles know about dictating U.S. defense policy in a position where she will be privy to extremely sensitive classified documents and information? Obvious enough to forward the dangerous security and foreign policy agenda that has become the hallmark of this deliberately reckless administration, whose apparent end game is to undermine our national security interests by whatever means. After all, her boss the President is doing a pretty good job with this himself by currying favor with tin pot communist regime dictators throughout the world (Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Cuba’s Castro brothers within the past few days), unheard of since the onset of The Cold War, and unnecessarily disseminating our national security secrets (Guantanamo interrogation procedures de-classified last week).

The U.K.’s Telegraph wrote in an editorial, “It is hard to think of a more inappropriate political appointment at a time when America needs a hard-headed approach to winning a global war instead of defeatist, far-left rhetoric. Let’s hope this is isn’t the kind of advice the new administration takes on for the war in Afghanistan.”

Geithner Poised to Set YOUR Salary

The House Financial Services Committee, headed by chairman Barney Frank, just passed a bill (all committee Democrats voted for it and all but 2 committee Republicans voted against it) permitting it to proceed to the House for a vote to make it law. The “Pay for Performance Act of 2009″ would enable the Treasury Department, headed by Secretary Timothy Geithner, to set the salary of EVERY employee working for ANY company that receives a capitalist investment from the U.S. government, INCLUDING the ability to supercede existing contracts and compensation/salary agreements as the Treasury department “sees fit”. Look’s like Barney Frank and his liberal buddies are well on their way to making every one of us a ward of the “state”.

Senator Offers Amendment to Limit U.S. Currency Change

Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary, opened the door with his statement on Wednesday when he said he was “quite open” to considering a global currency standard which would, in effect, eliminate the U.S. dollar. In response to this statement, which, incidentally, represents a totally reversal of Geithner’s opinion on this topic as stated in direct response to her public question to him on Tuesday, Senator Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has offered Congressional legislation in the form of an Amendment to the Constitution which would limit the powers of the President and his Administration from unilaterally entering into any agreement that would supplant the United States dollar with some other international currency.

The amendment as stated: “The president may not enter into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States.”

What Does a Trillion Dollars Look Like Anyway?

As you know, the Obama Administration has been throwing around alot of huge dollar amounts in their proposals for bailouts and budgets. In line with 50 being the new 40, I guess trillion is the new billion?

Anyway, here’s a link to a site that does a good job at putting this into visual perspective…

Obama-Geithner Connection

It appears the Obama and Geithner families know one another. Maybe this is why Timothy Geithner has become that “must have” economic expert that President Obama required as Treasury Secretary because no one else was qualified to save us.
