President Obama’s so called “Green Jobs Czar” resigned last night in the midst of controversy. Van Jones, said he was resigning because of “smear campaign” against him. Jones’ full title was “special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation” at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
This is his resignation letter.
“I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today.
On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.
I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum – urging me to “stay and fight.”
But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.
It has been a great honor to serve my country and my President in this capacity. I thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead.”
I just wonder how it’s a smear campaign when it’s someone’s own words that are being used. And not just words from decades ago, but from this March, February, and 2004. (Source)
