It was only two days ago that this column asked,
"Did he (Van Jones) fill out the Obama job application thinking he has never made any public comments that would embarrass the President?"
Now Fox News' Major Garrett is reporting, Van Jones never filled out the 63-question, 7-page Obama application.
See the application here:

This writer thought that the application itself was ridiculous because:
(1) President Obama himself would have failed a number of questions regarding associations, financial impropriety, and relatives;
(2) question 59 seems to impugn gun owners;
(3) questions 54-56 cite question 49 where they apparently should cite question 53 in a way that seems humorous (conflating malpractice suits with the legal status of household help);
(4) ChoicePoint WorkPlace Solutions, Inc. was retained by the Obama Transition Foundation to assist with investigations of the applicant including credit histories; and
(5) it looks like the name "Clinton" was handwritten to the left of question 31.
CNN was reporting in November 2008 that anyone seeking to work for the new administration will have to submit this questionnaire. But then along came Jones.
We see that Van Jones apparently would have failed questions 1, 8, 12, 16, 20, 46, 47, and 61. But the upper echelon of Obamatites thought it was unnecessary for Jones to apply.
Why?
Who else didn't apply?
Which of the other 36 czars had to apply?
Somebody should find out the answers to these questions.

Goodbye,Van Jones
September 6, 2009
The Obama administration reported early Sunday that green jobs czar Van Jones has resigned.
The failure of Obama to assemble a staff without drawing tax cheats, communists, radicals, and racists exemplifies either the total incompetence of the new administration, or the ongoing insult to the people of the country who are apparently considered too dull to notice the emplacement of misfits, lunatics, and fellow travelers into high office.
Those of us who are upset by this administration have had feelings of dread about the great damage Obamatites will do in the four years of his term. We have felt paralyzed and impotent against opponents who seem to be holding all the cards. We've watched them squander trillions of dollars, while funneling money to crazies, and smearing us whenever we have an opinion or are hesitant to hand over new powers to a government which has a long-standing tradition of waste and inefficiency.
We are not irrelevant. Van Jones was caught red-handed and he's gone. Things are starting to shake in this administration. Obama is no longer advancing; he is turning around and starting to retreat. You see, Barack Obama has had to hide his goals, values, and background from mixed company during the election. He didn't tell center or center-right audiences that he was planning trillion dollar deficits, socialism, and shutting down the war on terror. After he won the election, suddenly these details started to slowly come to light. "I won the election," he said, glossing over the part where he scammed the electorate. But a funny thing has started to happen now that his polls have gone underwater. He's starting to hide and pretend he's not a commie again. This is why Van Jones joined the ranks of the unemployed today. Obama has to be friendly again. I wouldn't be too surprised if he released his long-form birth certificate.
Legislatively, when Obama is below 50 in the polls, the Congress starts to distance themselves from him and so his agenda goes off the front burner. He's got to get the number back up if he wants to sell health care. The folks are really starting to bail on the health care legislation, so the poll numbers are ever more critical. As a Clintonite once said, "if he gets above 65 he can start dating again."
What we don't know about Obama is, will his poll numbers rebound or keep sinking? Will Obama become radioactive and thus unelectable in 2012? Gerald Ford's numbers headed south after he pardoned Nixon and he lost in 1976 to virtual unknown Jimmy Carter. There are a dozen scenarios I can think of that result in Obama being a sickly one-termer, but how realistic are they?
There is something else that will help us defeat the health bill. Nancy Pelosi is unfit to preside over the House because she's so far left. If Obama wants a health bill, she is sure to poison it with something that won't get past the Senate. I suppose she thinks if there is a 5% chance of it passing, all she has to do is run it through 20 times. Pelosi is a national disgrace, but it appears she is helpful to us for now because she is so ineffective. Our position is still a bad one. It will be hard to excise the cancer from Capitol Hill and from the White House. Washington is badly infected. Obama plans a socialist empire and he's not afraid to print money to do it. He's poised to break the borders, corrupt the census, and with the ACORN/Soros machine, he'll try to steal the election. Mickey Mouse and Freddie Johnson are ready to register.
We have to keep calling and faxing our congressmen, and keep speaking out at public forums whether they are tea parties or town hall meetings or what-not.
If we can't stop Obama, who can? If we don't stop him, who will?

VAN'S STRAW MAN
September 5, 2009
'No black Columbines' is a straw-man argument at best.
Van Jones would like to tell his audience that blacks are more civilized than whites, but he can't make that argument even in front of his peers because of the laughter that would ensue.
Did he think the tape would never come to light? Did he fill out the Obama job application thinking he has never made any public comments that would embarrass the President?
This man is a self-admitted Communist. He admits the green movement is an avenue the government can use to redistribute wealth. Just for this, the man is radioactive and Obama should take care not to be in the same state as him.
But Van Jones is a jackass. He's a pretentious, race-baiting malcontent the likes of which we haven't seen in an administration in 70 years - and in those days, such people were tucked away and hushed up like crazy uncles.
Why can't we have a Democratic Party that has different ideas, but is still loyal to the American way of life? Why does virulent support of abortion and public health care mean opening the door for the commies, the gays, the thieves, and now the black KKK?
Mr. Jones, I guarantee you would be fired for your comments in any other administration, whether you were black or white, whether you directed your comments towards blacks or whites.
A white person using this level of rhetoric would be abandoned first by his fellow whites.
I'm guessing Van Jones said this before a solid-black audience, and he didn't even get shouted down or mobbed.
