Missouri Governor Jay Nixon adamantly denies that the White House pressured him to resist sending in the National Guard in response to violent protesters unhappy with the Michael Brown shooting decision. It is clear, however, that Nixon has been in close contact with President Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as the chaotic situation unfolded. According to the White House, Jarrett spoke with Nixon the first night of the protests as well as the morning after. Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz confirmed that Jarrett received “updates” from Nixon, “promising to stay in close touch” as the situation continued. “Valerie spoke to Governor Nixon both last night and this morning, and has been briefing the President on an ongoing basis since last night,” Schultz said, speaking to reporters on Air Force One. “And in each of those conversations with Governor Nixon, Valerie has pledged to stay in close coordination with the Governor in making sure that he’s getting the support he needs from the federal government.” Schultz refused to say whether or not President Obama spoke on the phone with anyone about the protests sweeping the nation, but revealed that White House staff spoke with mayors across the country to coordinate a proper response. Jarrett and Attorney General Eric Holder also spoke with civil rights leaders the first night of the protests, continuing their close coordination as the grand jury decision approached. “As you know, we've been working closely with them for the past few months leading up to this point to make sure that responses to this moment would be appropriate and constructive,” Schultz said.

gee thats s real shock....
The Governor was talking to Valerie Jarrett? So he was talking directly to our President.
Outside the beltway will spread the Obama inner wolf pack too thin to do any good to control anything. A city too far will be their undoing.
“Stay the course.”
to make sure that responses to this moment would be appropriate and constructive
explains why the rioting, burning and looting was not stopped by te police and natl guard
No soldiers and Nixon hidin’
We’re finally on our own
Deliberately trying to start conflict. All of them belong in prison.
<>p> 
Gov: Hello?
Caller: This is Valerie Jarrett speaking.
Gov: I don't want any! (hang-up click)
Now how hard is it to run your own state?
Our President was taking care of business!
“Mom, I mean Valerie, can you take that call?”
Once again, this shows the fraud, waste, and abuse of this Communist government!
A state governor can only reach a ‘senior advisor’??
Where is the President?
Where is the National Guard, when this broke out?
Why is the National Guard, which has been absconded from the control of the state governor, placed under federal control??
If he made the decision independently he is guilty of gross negligence and culpable for the property damage. He shoul be prosecuted, recalled or retire.
If he let the wh pressure him obama should be impeached and the governor still held accountable.
Seems the Lizard Lady is at the center of more than the Ferguson stand down. The Mayor and the Gov staff can’t find the Gov because he’s chatting with Jarrett. “Stay the Course”.
Her dad was a very, very hardcore communist scumbag.
Oh that is really exciting isn’t it? Nixon is in bambaboy’s back pocket and has been all through this terrible event....
“appropriate and constructive”????? I guess from the LIB/DIM point of view letting feral criminals loot, burn and generally cause mayhem is just that. Losers.
But the SOB gov couldn’t return a call to the mayor of Ferguson.
Multiple calls, actually.
From the Lt. Gov also.
Nixon should be forced from office.
