Van Jones Scandal Threatens Obama Presidency

That's quite an overtstamet :)

Obama Presidency is threatned more from falling support for Afghan war, healthcare, economy and failed mideast policy so far on Israel-Palestine issue.

[constitutional]

"Threatens" is a wrong word to use here, instead, Van Jones is a distraction to the administration. If Van Jones causes impeachment or jeopardizes Obama's reelection, that's called a threat. Obama will have far more controversial issues to deal with during his reelection.

The name calling, whether it's "communist" or "fascist" is used widely against all administrations.

All I am trying to say is, the author of this news piece is an idiot.

Meg Whitman, the former president and CEO of eBay who is running for Governor of California, has been forced by the controversy to disavow her previous comments in support of Jones. She says, "My husband and I met him and many others on a cruise sponsored by National Geographic and The Aspen Institute. He talked about supporting job growth in California, but of course I did not do a background check of his past over dinner."

Look who else was on the "Arctic Expedition for Climate Action 2008" cruise with Jones:

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
Larry Brilliant, Director, Google.org
President Jimmy Carter & Rosalynn Carter
Senator Tom Daschle & Linda Daschle
John Fahey, President, National Geographic
Mike Finley, President of the Turner Foundation
Walter Isaacson, President, the Aspen Institute
Andy Stern, President, Service Employees International Union
R.E. "Ted" Turner, Chairman, Turner Foundation, Inc.
Governor Bill Ritter, Jr., Governor, Colorado

On March 27, 2009, the Aspen Institute gave its Energy and Environment Award in the category of "Individual Thought Leadership" to Van Jones.

Awesome, but as was mentioned, this is a very small victory.

I'ce pointed out Congress Critters on the doles of the Aspen Organization trips , which if you research the expense reports of attendees, the Aspen organization pays Representatives and Senators $1000's in food expense for a couple of days in Mexico resorts. It appears the Democrats beat the Republicans by over 2-1.
