I really admire Van Jones, Obama’s former “green jobs” appointee. Some would say it’s maybe even a crush.
He wrote “The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems.” He also co-founded both the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Green for All.
I met him at a Green For All conference held in Memphis several years ago and I was impressed by his vision, his leadership skills, and the way people flock to him.
So I was disappointed to see that, after being the victim of a weeks-long smear campaign by Fox News’ Glenn Beck, Jones resigned from his position with the White House Council on Environmental Quality over the weekend.
