Amid Controversy Over Obama's Green Jobs Adviser, GOP Renews Criticism of White House Czars - Political News - FOXNews.com

A new video has surfaced showing President Obama's green jobs adviser suggesting that only white students commit mass school killings like Columbine as Republicans renew criticisms of the large number of so-called "czars" in the White House.

Van Jones, the founder of Green for All, which focuses on creating environmentally friendly jobs in poor areas, has come under withering attacks in recent days following revelations that he called Republicans "assholes" and that he once signed a petition supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which claims that the the Bush administration allowed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to happen.

In the latest video to surface, Jones is seen in December 2005 making controversial statements on the racial differences in school violence.

"You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never," he said. "They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it was these suburban white kids.' It's only them. Now a black kid might shoot another black kid. He's not going to shoot up the whole school."

I agree there is no check and balance here while in the past other presidents have had these so-call Czars and I was agaiunst them also. These people have to much power and don't even get to be voted on by Congress. If they aren't part of the US Const. then they should be part of the US Govn. end of discussion I don't care what party you belong to.
