Van Jones Should Stay

There are a lot of things in Washington that people should be fired for, but Van Jones stepping down over calling Republicans a--holes is not one of them. Maybe for being careless enough to be caught on video saying it, but certainly not for doing it. Come on!!! What have we sunk to in this country?? Is he the first – or the last – person to call the opposition party a name?? I doubt it. I know MY kids thought the Democrat Party had another name before it for YEARS… until they got old enough to understand that the word I was inserting before Democrat was not part of the party name. All he was doing was giving his honest opinion of the opposition party.

I disagree with Mr. Jones on about every level of political discourse, including his opinion of Republicans (I happen to think it applies to his own party), but I don’t think he should resign over it.

I don’t know Mr. Jones personally, but maybe he IS doing the right thing. If a small matter like this is enough to get him to step aside, what’s going to happen when he shows up in the Oval Office for his job performance rating? When the president asks him how many ‘green jobs’ he created so it can be put in the teleprompter for the next speech the president gives and Mr. Jones has to admit there are actually LESS green jobs out there now than before and the president goes ballistic, it might be better he goes now than later. At least now he can say he is resigning for political expediency. Later he has to admit he failed at his job and was fired. This incident will DEFINITELY look better on his resume than ‘got fired for failing to do my job.’ After all, we KNOW he’d put getting fired for failing to do his job on his resume… he’s the only HONEST Democrat we’ve found in YEARS!!!
