President Obama said during his Presidential campaign, “If you want to know who will be advising me and how I make my decisions, look at who I surround myself with..” and then began to list the people around him. During his Presidential campaign, he had a number of questionable relationships for which he elegantly 
sidestepped media scrutiny. Those who raised questions about his relationships with Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and others, were labeled right winged extremists and part of the Bush propaganda machine.

“In jail, I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, this is what I need to be a part of. I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.

Van Jones has disturbing ties to what it seems as a never-ending name changing organization. What is now known as the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights was once known as STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement). This self-described Marxist organization has gone through many names changes, but their primary principles haven’t swayed. They’ve become more mainstream to gain legitimacy.
What’s slightly less disturbing is the lack of any journalism on Jones, his criminal record, radical groups and his political background. Where’s the media on this one? If it were Bush who hired a communist, the media’s coverage would have dwarfed in size of Anna Nicole’s death.
