Once again, Obama gets a pass

So Van Jones is officially out.* But to date, nowhere in the MSM has Obama repudiated Jones' views -- or even been asked to repudiate it.

The media is scratching their chins wondering how a nutjob like Jones got past the administrations vetting. Two answers:

1) Their vetting sucks -- see Daschle, Geithner, etc.

2) He was never meant to be vetted.

He was made a czar; a position accountable to no one and not subject to confirmation by the Senate. Jones was chose because of who he is, not because the White House didn't know.

Remember, it was Obama who told us not to judge him by his resume but by who he appoints. Well, let's hold him to that -- because the media won't !!


* Jones may not hold an official title but he will still maintain the same influence within the administration.
