WALL STREET DEMS: VALERIE JARRETT LACKS ANY BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE
breitbart.com ^ | December 12, 2013 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

In a recent long-form article on the troubles that the banking and investment sectors have had with the destructive policies coming out of the White House, unnamed Democrats told Politico that Rahm Emanuel and, most especially, Valerie Jarrett were not only entirely unresponsive to their concerns, but they actually lacked any knowledge about the industries for which they were tasked with crafting policy--and earned no "respect" because of it.

Things got so bad that representatives of the financial sectors just stopped having meetings with the White House because any such meetings were pointless.

The December 11 article, "Lament of the Plutocrats," is based upon a dozen quotes from financial sector insiders and corporate executives, all of whom wished to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by Obama's hostile White House. The prevailing opinion is that Obama is hostile to Wall Street and the banking/financial sector and has staffed his policy-making departments with people who have no knowledge upon which to base policy decisions.

One business executive told Politico that he knew what was coming as early as 2009 when he was standing in Rahm Emanuel's office in the White House.

"I knew right at that moment, standing in Rahm’s office, that they did not really have any interest in understanding Wall Street or working with us in any significant way," the executive said.

But Obama's closest adviser, Valerie Jarrett, received the harshest criticism.

Valerie only needs to know 2 things

How much money do you have?
When are you going to give us a lot of it?

She doesn’t need to. Dogma, radicalism, oppression and tyranny are her stock and trade.

Democrats have no interest in “crafting policy” that improves the private sector, and especially the Wall Street and the banking/financial sector.

The very incompetent Jarrett should be no where near Washington D.C. She’s a clueless Marxist ditz. What “works” in college classrooms DOES NOT WORK in the real world. Try telling that to a moron like Jarrett.

And yet how many of those Wall St. D-bags still supported Obama financially in the 2012 election?

I’d say that they deserve everything that’s coming to them, except that they’ll still be left rich enough to maintain their lifestyles and standards of living ...

I doubt anyone among this administration’s inner circle know much about anything other than “theory”.

Nah, these enabling Wall Street cowards need to swing first. “Fear of retaliation? Really?

These spineless “captains of industry” aren’t worth the blood of the 20 year olds dying in Afghanistan, are they?

What does Afghanistan have to do with anything?

Exactly.

Leftists do not need knowledge they just know what is better for everyone by virtue of being more advanced humans than the masses.

She is fluent in “Rules for Radicals”.

That is the only tool necessary for the destruction of America, which is her goal.

She is an Iranian. Obama is a Muslims, Both are black ,they have a cadre of other Muslims and blacks working there with them , why should we expect competence or common sense.

What we are getting is racial and religious payback.

We have at least 3 more years of it, if we last that long, so get used to it
