Van Jones, The White House Environmental Adviser resigned after battling controversy for weeks for what he has done in his past. He said he was really hurt by the attack of the opposition members and can’t continue with his job.

Van said, “On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I have been inundated with calls — from across the political spectrum — urging me to ’stay and fight. But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.”

He recently came under attack for questioning the former republican government for questioning whether they actually let 9/11 happened so that USA could attack Afghanistan and thats why he had to resign for his extremists views, according to Rep. Mike Pence.

I believe its a one more blow to the Obama company. When Barack is trying so hard to get US out of the recession and restore its financial position, its really unfortunate that he has to handle such ill fated events.
