Valerie Jarrett is a senior adviser and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs for the Obama administration. Ms. Jarrett, is one of the President and First Lady's closest and longest held friends. In 1991 she was Deputy Chief of Staff to Mayor Richard Daley, and hired Michelle Robinson for an opening in the mayor’s office. Ms. Robinson asked for time to think and also asked Jarrett to meet her fiancé, Barack Obama. The three ended up meeting for dinner. After the dinner, Michelle took the job with the mayor's office, and Valerie Jarrett reportedly took the couple under her wing . President Obama has said “Well, Valerie is one of my oldest friends,” Obama is quoted as saying. “Over time I think our relationship evolved to the point where she’s like a sibling to me… I trust her completely.She’s family,” he has said, “she combines the closeness of a family member with the savvy and objectivity of a professional businesswoman and public policy expert” and he “absolutely” runs every decision by her."
Well Obama's "family member"does not have a very high opinion of the American people. A new video released by Naked Emperor News (embedded below)shows Ms Jarrett taking audience questions at a forum given by the Kennedy School of Govt:

Someone needs to remove the sock from her mouth and shove an actual foot into it. Her voice racks my nerves beyond that of Jack Squat’s.
If Obama is so d@mn smart...why is he sooooo incompetent?
Elitism personified.
I predict one day she will be reduced to stuffing classified documents into her undergarments in an attempt to salvage the Obama legacy ala Sandy Burglar, who was a close advisor to the last failed Democrat administration.
People need to understand that Jarrett is Obama’s Mike Deaver from the Reagan years — the closest confidant to both Barack and Michelle Obama.
What we need is A LEADER!
You know.. I bet you’re right.
I would like to know who Valerie Jarrett REALLY is? I suspect if we knew we would find out who is pulling the puppet strings here.
I'm sure Marx and Engels would refer everyone to their favorite tribalist for a clarification on their frozen statist "theories".

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Meet Obama’s circle: The same old America-hating Left

Jimmy Carter had an undergraduate degree in Nuclear Engineering from the Naval Academy (where he graduated in the top 10%, I believe) and he completed post-graduate course work in nuclear physics. Carter was a bright guy, but that didn't impede his ability to be a total failure as a President.
As they say, book-learning only gets you so far.
He hasn’t shown me that he is smart and I am sick of hearing just how smart he is. The left accused Bush of being dumb, this guy is dumb, dumb. If he was as smart as they say he is, why hasn’t he solved all the problems that he created?
So says the actual “queen” of the left. I believe it is open to argument just WHO is making the decisions in this WH. While I am sure they allow Obama to take part in the process, I do believe that there are those in the administration making the decisions that we are so beginning to hate. Of them all I put Jarrett at the head of the pack, only second to Soros.
Conspiracy theory? Maybe.
And then Oprah has stated many times that Barry is the smartest man she's ever met or ever interviewed.
And now Jarrett publically speaks, confirming that she too, is part of the "Barry is a GENIUS fan club."
What's really pathetic is that obviously none of them have EVER been in the presense of true intellect, of authentic genius, not even once, and that includes Barry Soetoro who isn't even smart enough to realize that reading words off a teleprompter is NOT a gift.
That's why Obama says people like Valerie are true Americans, and the Tea Partiers are traitors.
She's an idiot, and thinks he's too intelligent for words.
Response: This poor soul has rather limited experience.
Could have fooled me Val.
