How many more czars are identical to Van Jones that the public citizens of the USA don’t know about?? Yet! This President really does not portray himself to be a leader of this great nation. He must have been abused when he was younger.

Linda, I have been able to find only that Obama’s first Cabinet meeting was held April 20, fully three months after being sworn in. I can’t (yet) find other references, but will keep looking.

NEPA is another poster who commented on the piece.

The President has certainly held more than one cabinet meeting.

I’m sorry, James, who is NEPA?

That’s the way I read Shapiro’s comment, Linda.

And it’s not the scope of Jones’ job, it that a wild-eyed radical like him would be hired to work in the White House.

Like NEPA said: “A man is known by the company he keeps.”

Van Jones’ role in the administration – Green Jobs czar – was so minor, it’s difficult to get worked up over this.

Is Ben Shapiro saying that Obama has held only one cabinet meeting? Am I reading that right, James?

I agree with Joseph C. Phillips 100% Last night during his speech he referred to himself as someone one in the middle. What in his past shows him in a moderate light? A man is known by the company he keeps and so far his company has been anything but moderates. He likes people like Van, period!

What happened to the request to have all of these Czars testify before a committee? Is that still alive?
