MR. VAN JONES.

The adviser on "Green Jobs" Van Jones in the Obama administration has landed himself seemingly in a whole lot of trouble; and as one of the czars, as the President's appointees have come to be known, he is quite in hot water from the many statements he has made on past administrations and other political situations; and even after his apologetic announcement of dubbing Conservative Republicans as "A-holes", the controversy around him is still swirling to the detriment of him being in the Obama government.

His stance on the environment in the past, according to some members of the Obama White House staff, led to his appointment as a member of the White House Council on Environmental Quality; and though, his position on environmental matters have not changed, his general attitude and common views have simmer down considerably.

It was on that basis that he was offered the appointment; and that the administration must be given credit for that appointment because the President knew his record as a strong advocate on environmental issues, and therefore he concurred that he (Jones) had something beneficial to offer, in the service of the country.

Yet, some in the media, and particularly on FOX News programs, are urging his ouster, due to his background, and for the provocative assessments and observations he has made during his lifetime. They were assuming that he would not last in his position before the week was over.

Well, should not that privilege be left to the White House? Such wild guesses were not helping in any way, neither were they honest, because those people have also had expressed negative views, one way or another, in so many instances, all their lives.

In fact, Mr. Van Jones has been a controversial figure for quite a long time, and some of his political leanings and assertions have been unsavory, to say the least; he has also made considerable contribution in his role as a community organizer to galvanize groups, such as the "Green for All", an organization looking to create jobs in poor areas and to bring economic and sustainable living for the people there.

He has also written widely on the subject of the environment, drawing attention to the plight of those who had no "voice" in the present day political and social settings. His book, "The Green Collar Economy" was a 2008 New York Times best-seller; and he has been praised by outstanding members of society, such as Actor Leonardo DiCaprio who accorded him a brilliant honor that anyone could have.

"Steadily -- by redefining green -- Jones is making sure that our planet and our people will not just survive but also thrive in a clean-energy economy," DiCaprio wrote in Time magazine's 100 "Most Influential People" article.

He has "won plaudits" from former Vice-President Al Gore. In an interview with the New Yorker (publication), he said "I love Van Jones", according to the New Yorker.

Mr. Van Jones is rambunctious, flamboyant, big-mouthed socialist and communist, overzealous radical activist; you name it, and he will fit in the niche you care to put him in; but he is also a talented individual; a man enormously given to great accomplishments and achievements. Besides, he has mellowed in his despicable ways that always created problems for him. He has lately been very apologetic to those that he thinks he has offended; and he has now joined the political "mainstream", so to speak.

He is pragmatic and sincere; one of the people that President Obama wants to surround himself with, and not just "plain radicals and activists", as FOX News contributors are saying. He (Jones) must be allowed to keep working for the administration, at least for the time being; and only at the President's behest, of course.
