Bob Woodward: Obama administration "rat's nest of concealment and Lies"
Politico, Weasel Zippers, The Blaze, Examiner ^ | October 28, 2013

Bob Woodward, who along with Carl Bernstein brought down President Nixon back in the 70s, has called the Obama administration a a "rat's nest of concealment and lies." He could have well added that it is run like a mafioso family, complete with threats and harsh punishments for not taking an offer you can't refuse. Woodward, himself was threatened, when he exposed that the sequester came from Obama and not the republicans.

Bob Woodward ... has called the Obama administration a "rat's nest of concealment and lies."

If the MSM had done anything approximating its job, the Obama administration might have been stopped when the concealment and lies were at the "gerbil's nest" stage.

Meghan Kelly is all over Obamas healthcare lies. She has a directive from IRS in 2010 warning that millions will lose their insurance. She specifically refers to Obamas “period” statements as lies. They knew insurance would be cancelled thus forcing prime people into Obamacare.

I’ll bet Robert Redford is busy writing the screenplay for ALL THE PRESIDENT’S PEOPLE PART 2.

The Obama Crime Family has become too much for even their most ardent supporters to stomach. The progressive elite thought that they could safely overlook the unseemly character of this pack of thieves since their ideological fervor was entirely in synch with their agenda. They are learning that life doesn’t work that way.

Too bad that we don’t have a party that is prepared to take advantage of their many maladies.

I guess Woodward has already spoken to all
of the schools of journalism he cares to
lecture in his lifetime. What now, Bob?
Shooting for commencement address invites
at Oral Roberts U, Hillsdale College, or
Bob Jones U?

Nixon was a real cap feather
for both you and ‘ol Bernstein. Too bad
the two of you weren’t old enough in the
early 60’s to apply your investigative
reporter techniques to JFK and LBJ.
Even you know the dirty business never
started w/Dick Nixon.

If the MSM had done anything approximating its job, there would have been no Obama administration and the unemployment rate would be a 5% or less.

I was going to mention ol’ Valerie Jarret being the leader of the pack...and she is along with her mentors who got her where she is today...all part of the Communist Progressive tribal mentality who have seriously taken over and undermined this once great nation. When you see her parents history as Communists and who they associated with...it’s not hard to also see Jarett follow suite...and then of course usher in Obama...some exerts following:

Jarrett’s maternal grandfather was a Chicagoan named Robert Taylor, who in the 1940s was involved with such communist fronts as the American Peace Mobilization and the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee..... Also a member of these groups was Frank Marshall Davis, the communist journalist who in the 1970s would mentor a young Barack Obama.

Jarrett’s mother (and Robert Taylor’s daughter) is early-childhood-education author Barbara Taylor Bowman, who co-founded a Chicago-based graduate school in child development known as the Erikson Institute, named after the psychoanalyst Erik Erikson; in 1950 Erikson became a hero to the left by choosing to resign from his professorship at the University of California rather than sign an anti-communist loyalty oath as the school required. Indicative of the Erikson Institute’s radical political orientation is the fact that its board of trustees has included, in addition to Bowman, such figures as Tom Ayers (father of the former Weather Underground terrorist and lifelong Marxist Bill Ayers) and Bernardine Dohrn (longtime wife of Bill Ayers). Bill Ayers, for his part, called Bowman “a neighbor and friend” in his 1997 book A Kind and Just Parent, noting that his neighbors also included Louis Farrakhan and “writer Barack Obama.”

Vernon Jarrett was a pioneering black journalist who in the 1940s wrote columns for the communist-influenced Chicago Defender extolling Communist poet Langston Hughes and lifelong Stalinists W.E.B. DuBois and Paul Robeson. Also in the 1940s, Mr. Jarrett was a leader of the Chicago chapter of American Youth for Democracy—youth wing of the Communist Party USA. He also served on a publicity committee for the Packinghouse Workers Union, a Chicago-based entity dominated by the CPUSA. In each of these endeavors, Mr. Jarrett had close contact with Frank Marshall Davis.

Mr. He freelanced at Kansas City’s The Call from 1954-58, then returned to Chicago to become the first nationally syndicated black columnist for the Chicago Tribune, and still later wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times. Mr. Jarrett once sat on a union publicity committee (for the communist-controlled Packinghouse Workers Union) with Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist poet who occasionally counseled the young Barack Obama. When Vernon Jarrett died in 2004, he was saluted in the pages of People’s Weekly Worker, the house organ of the Communist Party USA.

“If it wasn’t for Valerie Jarrett, there’d be no Barack Obama to complain about,”

No one outside Michelle has the access or power over Obama’s decision-making like Jarrett does......Michelle, Michelle’s mother, and Valerie, and only a few others in Washington, are allowed to call Barack by his first name.

After work, Jarrett joins Obama at night in the Family Quarters, where she dines often with the First Family. She goes on vacation with them. For these reasons she is known as the “Night Stalker”.

The lady has 24 hour access to the Pres. so not hard to determine he doesn’t make a move without her in on it ..if indeed not the very one orchestrating.

The guy who was just fired as staff member said on twitter one of his concerns was Valerie had too much control.

She shows up at the National Security Council, at meetings on the economy and budget......A longtime friend told Klein that Jarrett is the “eyes, ears and nose” of the Obamas. She tells them whom to trust, who is saying what, whom to see at home and abroad.

Further since she is Iranian descent....no doubt why Obama drags his feet on Iran.

added note....Valerie’s mother had three white grandparents, and her father was black. Like Obama, she lived in the Muslim world for part of her childhood, when her father practiced medicine in Iran.

Jarrett has no qualifications to be the principal advisor to the president of the United States. She doesn’t understand how Washington works, how relations with Congress work, how the federal process works. She doesn’t understand how the economy works, how the military works, how national security works. But she understands how Obama works.
