Barack's Rock
Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran and is mired in Chicago politics as is her family. Her maternal grandfather Robert Rochon Taylor was the first black man to head the Chicago Housing Authority in the forties.
I thought Axelrod was taking the position Rove held for Bush. He’ll probably work in the shadows or something.
Yep.

Interesting that this news is released on a Friday night really. All of the articles re this appointment are from the last few hours.
The street thugs assemble.....this was easy to predict. His entire cabinet will be made up of ole street-thug buddies and radical Clintonistas.
Easy call.
I know that Clinton’s crew mostly got away with everything for an 8 year period, but I just have to believe that Obama’s dirty, corrupt friends are going to get into a world of trouble. These people are just thugs.
Soooo...I’m assuming if she was born in Iran she has since attained her citizenship???
There’s that fresh Chicago-style change.
Otherwise there's not a whole lot to recommend this woman for any federal job.
Another possibility is that while the FBI was busy busting tutti-fruities into kiddie porn on Patty Murray's staff, and then Barbara Boxers' staff, they found out some stuff about the gay crowd surrounding Axelrod's close friend, Deval Patrick, the Governor of Massachusetts. One of his top aids got caught commiting sodomy on a young boy in a steam bath in Florida last December.
Anyhing is possible here.
But they are the thugs in charge. They make the rules and now they have the muscle.
So it’s not the NASCAR Jarretts? :)
Obama: Change you can Deceive in.
All crooks, every one of them
