Few would dispute that Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod are two of President Barack Obama's key advisors.
I wrote here that Valerie Jarrett's father-in-law Vernon Jarrett, worked with Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, in at least three communist dominated organizations in late 1940s Chicago.
Davis then went on to eventually mentor the young Barack Obama in Hawaii.
David Axelrod too has connections that that stretch back to post War Chicago communism.
While a New Yorker by birth, David Axelrod studied political science at the University of Chicago in the early 1970s. Later, while a start-out journalist with the Hyde-Park Herald, Axelrod was mentored by two older journalists cum political activists, Don Rose and David S Canter.
According to the Chicago Tribune
In his early years as a political consultant, Axelrod, following in the footsteps of his mentor, the political strategist Don Rose, carved out a reputation for himself as a skillful specialist working for local progressive candidates...says Rose. "I think he's a principled, generally progressive guy... ."
From 1966 until 1975 Don Rose and his partner David S Canter co-owned a small newspaper called the Hyde Park Kenwood Voices. The paper's radical tone suited the neighbourhood. It tended to follow the Communist Party line-campaigning for example to abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
The paper sympathetically covered the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) riots at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Party convention and the SDS convention that gave birth to the Weather Underground.
It gave a voice to prominent figures of the Hyde Park left. These included several future Obama mentors such Abner Mikva, Leon Despres, Timuel Black and Quentin Young.

“Progressive” is their code word for fellow-communist.
I read last week that Valerie Jarretts dad took taxpayer funds to build slums in Chicago.
20 years later Rezko and Valerie did the same thing with obama funding them with tax dollars.
There are documents online somewhere showing Valerie was involved with rezko. I can’t remember the website who finds these documents and puts them online. Like tax records and stuff like that.
Now Valerie owns a home on marthas vineyard so she has done well for a communist. We probably paid for the home.
Principled progressive ???
