White House Green Jobs Adviser Apologizes For Calling Republicans 'Assholes'

Van Jones, the Obama administration's "green jobs" adviser, apologized Wednesday for calling Republicans "assholes," saying the comments were made before he joined the administration and "were clearly inappropriate."

Jones had told a group of listeners earlier in the year that the reason Republicans are stonewalling the president is because they're "assholes," remarks that were recorded in a video and posted to YouTube.

Van Jones also believes 9-11 was an inside job. Obama sure does have some great people at his side.

Don't know why he would apologize for telling the truth.

Obama really surrounds himself with some intelligent, classy people, doesn't he?

I'm you Obamabots out there will come up with some absurd excuse for this latest example of Obama's lack of judgement but the fact remains that Obama is a commie!
I hope you left wingers are happy with your support of this filth in office, he's attempting to ruin our country and you are helping!

This guy is a 'class' act. Look at the losers Obama has chosen to associate with. Says alot about him. Actually if this guy was saying dems are a$$holes then there would be a firestorm brought down on him. Can anyone say 'double standard'?

Apologize all you want. I see the belief you had in the statement, and how you kept backing it up. That speaks louder.

obama has filled his admin with these radicals and initiated purposeful failed stimulus plans{to break our economy} taken over industry and banks {to intimidate other industries} and now will take over health care {to make us more like other socialized countries} why?
They are about to usher in the new world order, a one world goverment, made of the richest crooks of all the countries. Make no mistake about the chaos that is about to erupt in the US. You must prepare NOW. If this agenda is not stopped we will become like ti wan, mere sweat shops making trinkets. Now you know why all the work has been sent over seas, and why they wont drill for oil. For decades you've wondered why they pass such laws that hurt our Country, they have been planning this for decades. They are destroying the middle class because there can be no middle class in the new world order, only a few elite, the rest will be slaves to the new WORLD government.
PREPARE.

Jones apology means little. He needs to go. Either he resigns on his own or Obama must fire him.
Let's focus on Obama since he appointed the czars...their HIS choice.

Could someone please explain to me how a party that used to stand for important things, but now stands only for guns and religious superiority is not best summed up by his statement? I ask this in the name of honesty and as a former Republican.
