This week, Greg Hinz of Crain’s Chicago Business noted that President Obama was back visiting Chicago but “having to share headlines with Valerie Jarrett.” She began the week with a cameo appearance on CBS’s highly rated show The Good Wife. Then a column by Michael Sneed in the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Jarrett “may be the worst abuser” of any executive-branch official with a Secret Service detail, using guards “round the clock” even while she was shopping, at the gym, or visiting friends in Chicago.
At a time when a government report shows the Secret Service is more than 550 agents below its optimal strength, Sneed bluntly asked, “Is this expense justifiable or is it an abuse of power?” Sneed quoted a source close to the White House: “Jarrett is treated as a member of the Obama family, but she’s had no real death threats requiring the constant use of the Secret Service that I know of.”
When Mark Leibovich of the New York Times tried to trace how Jarrett obtained Secret Service protection, he was told by someone close to her that she found such questions “ridiculous and offensive.”

Why shouldn’t Jarrett be blamed? The President always has to take the blame.
her security detail is a function of the threat level.
she likely gets as many threats as the President
it has been assumed that the recent intruder was after Barack
he might have been after Valerie
Well....many assume (including many here at FR) that she’s the ‘power behind the throne’. If not that, she may be the ‘control’ for Obama, passing on whatever orders her superiors may have.
In any case, she is a traitor, and deserves the traitor’s punishment.
Well, lot of people say the Pres gets his marching orders from her, so she has to have protection in order for the One to be able to function - right?
“Looks like the rattlesnakes are startin’ to commit suicide.”
We as a country will be riding this sled right over the cliff and nobody in congress or the media will dare lay blame where it belongs.
“ridiculous and offensive.”
We don’t care how “OFFENSIVE” it may be to you. Answer the question, b*tch!!
I wonder if the same will go for Valerie Jarrett. Now, and AFTER she leaves the White House.
It is more of a triumvirate between Jarrett/ Obama/ Holder. Valerie crafts and conspires, Obama weaves his magic around it and Holder is the muscle for anyone who doesn’t conform.
I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. . . . He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. . . . So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. . . . He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.
This is one sick relationship. Talk about an enabler.
I lot of people blamed Rasputin too...
