Barack, a Politico reporter has been very, very bad.

Almost since the start of Barack Obama’s presidency, people who have actual, real duties in the West Wing of the White House—the working, executive part of the government, that is—have been urging him to do something about Valerie Jarrett. Push her into the East Wing, where she can hang out with Michelle Obama and the White House social secretary, or give her an ambassadorship—or something—but for Pete’s sake get her out of the way of the hard work of governing that needs to be done.
Now it’s really time to do it.
Let’s stipulate right away that it would be unfair to blame Jarrett, the longtime Obama family friend and confidante, for the walloping that the president and his party suffered at the polls on Tuesday. And Jarrett will no doubt be needed in the weeks ahead to comfort her old pals, Barack and Michelle. What happened on Tuesday almost couldn’t be worse for Obama personally—not just the Senate’s going Republican but all those governorships lost, including Illinois Governor Pat Quinn’s defeat in Obama’s adopted home state, even after the president and first lady came to Illinois to campaign for him. The morning after the elections, Democrats and their top staffers were hopping mad, blaming Obama and, by extension, his staff for the defeat.
But let’s also face facts—and expect the president to do so as well. We’re at that point in an already long-toothed presidency when things inside really need to change....

He can’t fire her.
She works for the people who own him.
May I suggest an ambassadorship to Antarctica?
But Valerie is TOTUS!
He won’t do this —he will NEVER fire her.
She’s the REAL Prez.
She still has to get Iran nuclear weapons.
Barack, a Politico reporter has been very, very bad.
I think that Barry Obama has always been the asset that was pushed forward by stronger personalities, he is a sort of high beta that is black and has always been useful, but he is not the alpha, he needs someone to guide him as he thinks that he is leading.

Something warmer is better suited to her machinations ..... Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia .....
Right! She will “fire” him, if he gets in the way of the agenda. He does as he has been told — or else .
Valerie is as important to this administration as the teleprompter. Without both, the Kenyan is a backbencher in the Illinois senate. A putz.
I am wondering if she is the one behind that secret letter to Iran. Makes a lot of sense seeing she is Iranian.
This will sound crazy, but every time I see a picture or interview with Jarrett, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. There’s just something about that woman that is very unnerving. Like you wouldn’t ever want to fall into her clutches. That sort of thing.
As for Obama, I think it speaks to his weakness as a leader that he’s relied so heavily on herinfluence for so many years. It would be interesting to know how many of his policies and moves were actually her doing.
You are so right on the mark. Absolutely that’s who she is.
Never happen in a million years. She’s his “mother” and handler.
By “mother” I mean Angela Lansbury’s character in The Manchurian Candidate.
Wow...THAT made my skin crawl.
Good analogy.
Actually, Jarrett should be impeached.
Yep, she is unfireable. Plus the President’s wife is a personal friend. Jarrett has evening meals with the family. So, forget about this idea. I would agree though...she has become more of a problem than an asset.
This is a shocker coming from Politico. DW Ulsterman has long documented Jarrett. I sent him the link. This is the second such article I’ve seen since the election. One thing is clear, Mooch and Valarie run the White House, not Barack.
He’s a putz any way you slice it.
