The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.
The keys words within this statement are, "The American People". Not the mainstream media, who as we know, dropped the ball on this.
The real American People are using new technology to discuss, learn and combine their strength and fight. Using alternative sources such as World Net Daily and a worldwide network of blogs. Bill Kristol at Fox News even commended Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit for doing more reporting on Jones than the entire MSM.
But, this is not new. The liberals used new media to coordinate their plans during the Bush years. What's new is who is out there doing the fighting. The real American people.
What the liberal left and the MSM media have so far failed to understand is, the real American People are not happy. During President Bush's reign, there were plenty of protests. The liberal left, with groups such as Moveon.org and Code Pink, were out there making all kinds of noise and causing a fuss.
But, they were not the real American People. They were funded groups of radicals who were screaming in psychedelic colors, the same old tired lines from the 60's. Messages that real American's do not relate to. Except for the pandering MSM, nobody was listening, including the White House. The White House knew these groups did not speak for real Americans.
Things have changed, real Americans are turning to alternative sources for information and getting their voices heard. We are not hired mobs, our messages are not old tired lines from the 60's and there are many more of us. Glenn Beck, a very smart man who see's himself as a real American, can see the writing on the wall.
Whether the pandering MSM want to admit it or not, the real Americans have become a force to be reconned with.
And, the White House IS (quietly and secretly) listening this time.

The people spoke. Glenn Beck fanned some flames but general public makes the decision who to believe in.

Great post, Christine.
To tell you the truth, I am surprised and disappointed Van Jones resigned. I was hoping Obama would pick Van Jones as his hill to die on.
In fact, the Obama Administration did make an announcement that they did not request Van Jones' resignation:

That's a spit in the face of the Americans who essentially demand Jones resign.
Well, here's that right back at ya', Barack.
RB,
I agree.
Pastorius,
It doesn't surprise me the WH denies asking him to resign. If they didn't directly make this request, i'm sure there was a "buzz" floating around that it would be appreciated.
There are 30 potential hills to die on left. But, Obama has a huge head, i don't see him dying for anyone. Hence the huge bus tire bill. This is a weakness of his, we need to continue to exploit.
