DC political insiders believe that if President Barack Obama truly seeks compromise with Republicans, he should begin by ditching White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett. It goes without saying that Jarrett, the president's longtime trusted confidante, political ally, and family friend, is a divisive figure inside the beltway. Calls for her dismissal have been rampant since the president began his second term -- and even before then. It is a demand still ignored by the White House.

Valerie Jarrett is a symptom, not a cause. Obama is not a thinker or planner. Over the years he outsourced those functions to others. He knows as long as he does what Jarrett says he’s okay on the only approval scale that matters to him. Without her he’d be lost and she can’t be replaced because the relationship is codependent and not logical. Attempting to replace her without Obama developing away from the relationship would be like telling somebody with obsessive compulsive behavior to, “just stop washing your hands.”
Jarrett is our Rasputin or Hitler’s doctor. There are no replacements possible. The problem is Obama, not Jarrett.
I wasn’t aware that “calls for her dismissal have been rampant...” for several years now. I guess I missed those headlines.
But since the political class can’t even counter the clearly unconstitutional and destructive actions by this administration (Valerie being the puppetmaster), I’d be plenty surprised to see this happen.
Who would run the country?
“LOLOLOLOL! Dream on folks.”
I agree! Valjar is there to stay.
Good point, but is there anyone raising the question? Newspaper? magazine? Blog? Breitbart?
I haven’t searched but have not seen/heard anything
It's sort of like a moderate Muslim or a patriotic democrat.
Supposedly they exist out there somewhere.
But unliike Sasquatch and Bigfoot, no one has never actually seen one.
...that he would then be...
She should be impeached.
This was the original meaning of the impeachment power. When the King was untouchable by Parliament, a Bill of Impeachment of his senior adviser (for “misleading His Majesty”, who could do no wrong himself) often was used to rein in an out-of-control King.
Right now, the POTUS has become so powerful that he is beyond Congress’ power of impeachment, in fact if not in law. His ministers, OTOH, may not be.
Who's gonna do that? The GOP (Give Obama Permission!) Party?
WHAT! You didn’t see that on the front of usatoday? How about msnbc or cnn? Nothing? Yeah, I guess I missed it too. Although, I’ve been calling for her to go to the hoosegow for a long time. BOP. Before Ob Presidency. Back in the Cabrini Green days in chitown.
Yes, VJ should be hauled away in irons. Not going to happen. Govern yourself accordingly.
“”What I’m wondering is how Obama will justify continued Secret Service protection for Jarrett after they leave office””
Has anyone ever found out just WHY she has it? It’s bugged me for years....
He doesn’t even talk to republicans, much less compromise with them.
the sky is blue
Iran connections? She was 5 years old when her family left Iran. I know it’s a strongly held belief but it doesn’t make any sense to keep harping on it.
“”fully a result of her ties to Iran.””
What ties? Do you have any influential ties to the place where you were born? I don’t....
And her and her parents’ continued close connections with the Muslim Brotherhood? Harping needs to be continued.
I believe VJ’s parents live there now. I read that in an article, but have no other verification.
