This is published as follow up content to: Obama to Fire Van Jones?
Preface: The following is not a complete list; for the sake of brevity it includes only four of the president’s appointments. Timothy Geithner is not on the list, but his resignation should have been tendered before Van Jones.
The POTUS appointed Geithner as our Treasury Chief, how’s that been working out for us? Another quick reminder, Geithner was the CEO of the New York Federal Reserve and presided over some of the largest economic failures prior to being selected as our Treasury Chief. Folks, this was in addition to Geithner not paying his taxes for 5-years, more on the Treasury Czar here.
Van Jones was not alone folks and I urge you to turn the pages for yourselves. Gather your own stubborn facts on other Barack Obama appointments such as:
Mark Lloyd, FCC Diversity Czar
Lloyd is a Saul Alinsky disciple, as is Barack Obama. The FCC Diversity Czar is also a Hugo Chavez fan and describes his successful revolution in respectful if not glowing terms. Mark Lloyd's use of the term "democratic" appears to be interchangeable with the term "communist."

John Holdren, Science Czar
Holdren along with co-authors of a 1977 textbook, desired plans to force single women to abort their babies or put them up for adoption; implanting sterilizing capsules in people when they reach puberty; and spiking water reserves and staple foods with a chemical that would make people sterile.

Cass Sunstein, Regulatory Czar
Sunstein calls for a "notice and take down" law that would require bloggers and service providers to "take down falsehoods upon notice," even those made by a commenter. AC writers, start scrolling through your comment section and beware.
Who makes the determination that your writing or comments are false, will it be left wing or right wing groups? Cass Sunstein has already indicated he doesn't like so-called “false rumors” about his longtime University of Chicago friend and colleague, Barack Obama.
Will Obama have the power via Sunstein to silence such bothersome claims as "Obama Pals around with terrorists"?
This may not rub you the wrong way Obama supporters, but remember the days when you enjoyed the freedom to bash Bush.

Valerie Jarrett, Senior White House Adviser
On August 15, 2009, Valerie Jarrett attended a Daily Kos Net Roots conference and showed love for Van Jones:
JARRETT: You guys know Van Jones? [Applause. Moderator injects: "This is his house apparently."]
JARRETT: Oooh. Van Jones, alright! So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he’s not that old, for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.

Remember part 1, it was reported that Obama’s Green Jobs Czar rallied for cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, in Oakland. What a way to get a job at the White House, albeit temporary.
Certainly, by mid-August Van Jones was exposed to the public. Two obvious positions exist, either Barack Obama endorsed the anti-American sentiment or Barack Obama is incompetent as a leader, either one is perilous.
Valerie Jarrett was the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza a housing complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006 for deplorable conditions. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.
Grove Parc and several other prominent failures were developed and managed by Obama's close friends and political supporters, including Jarrett and Rezko. Follow the money folks, more here and here.
I often claim the media is corrupt; their silence on these matters bolsters that claim. The media, regardless of my disdain, is a very powerful institution in part due to the influence it has over politicians. Exposure forced Van Jones to resign.
Ride the momentum and continue to ply the pressure, it will not happen unless you get involved. Call the White House and demand the removal of the above-mentioned Czars and officials.

Cash for Clunkers Drives Head On Into Freedom
By Tony Vega
Remember that cool new government program that promised 3,500 - 4,500 bucks for your old gas-guzzler to be used for the purchase or lease of a new vehicle? That program, Cash for Clunkers, sank quicker than...well... an Oldsmobile in the Chappaquiddick.
On the surface, this seems like a pretty good idea. An incentive to buy, stimulate the economy, and even help the environment by getting rid of old clunkers for more fuel-efficient cars. You better get Maaco baby, because the rusty truth is showing up big time.
Let's take a look at this government-induced boondoggle.
There had been a $1 billion budget for rebates for new car sales in the program. It went bankrupt after the first week. In addition to a failed government plan, the flawed economics is simply this, we are subsidizing taxpayers with taxpayer money. That is not going to help our (USA's) net worth.
OK, so what, it's our money, why should the fat cats benefit and not us? The simplicity and emotions behind that is what drove so many folks to the car dealer. I am not saying you should have stayed home. But don't candy-apple coat it folks, you are going down to get a piece of a new welfare program paid for by the taxpayer.
Additionally, there is something fundamentally wrong with destroying vehicles that are still viable while increasing more debt. This will not earn us any A-pluses in economics-101. Whatever, get while the getting is good.
As per the government, "the program requires the scrapping of your eligible trade-in vehicle, and that the dealer disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in."- cars.gov
The Wall Street Journal summed it up this way, "By this logic, everyone should burn the sofa and dining room set and refurnish the homestead every couple of years."
This program very well may be a shot in the arm, almost like a hit on the ol' turbo boost, it will get you there fast, but in the long run it will cost you more money and make you run out of gas quicker; yeah I know, but the ride was fun.
Secondly, the bankruptcy of this program should sound off like an old-fashioned Mac truck air horn. How on God's green earth, pardon me, let me re-phrase that for my more PC readers; how on this spontaneously combusted green earth can you expect this government to run health care or crap & trade, when they can't even manage to run Cash for Clunkers?
Lastly, certainly not least, in fact the most important aspect of this failed policy is how the government is driving this program head on into Freedom. This Cash for Clunkers program has a dangerous stipulation when you or the car dealer logs onto the government's web site.
That stipulation was publicized by Glenn Beck and below is the video explaining it. I implore you to check it out and afterward reflect on all those complaints about the Patriot Act.
The feds tell us, "Consumers should expect that all information collected through the CARS Program will be kept confidential. Social Security numbers are not required for a CARS transaction." - cars.gov. BUT, what they are not telling you is this:
The House just approved $2B more for Cash for Clunkers. Oh, I forgot it is the program formerly known as Cash for Clunkers. Yes, the Obamacracy as with many pop icons changed its name; it is now officially dubbed the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS).
