Valerie Jarrett: The Next Van Jones By: Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, September 14, 2009
To call Jarrett a presidential adviser, even a close adviser, is misleading. She is an alter ego, an inner conscience, a touchstone of clarity for both President Obama and first lady Michelle. In the frenzy of the presidency, she reminds both Obamas of their identity and deepest-held beliefs. In exchange, the president makes no decision without her and has said she can speak for me. Unfortunately, she is also a racially polarizing elitist. She obtained her first foothold in Chicago politics through the patronage of a former SDS radical who regrets nothing about her role in the Days of Rage and ventured in 2003 that she would probably reject violence as a useful form of revolution. The same radical tried to persuade Rod Blagojevich to name Jarrett to Obamas empty senate seat. Instead, Jarrett has served as a conduit of far-leftists into the administration.
We Have Kind of a Mind Meld
One thing is beyond question: Jarretts unprecedented sway over the president. An Obama 2008 campaign official told the New York Times, If you want him to do something, there are two people hes not going to say no to: Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama. Susan Sher, who helped Jarrett recruit Michelle Obama to the Chicago mayors office before Michelle married the president, said, I dont think either of them [the Obamas] made major decisions without talking to her, adding that Jarrett failed to appreciate how incredibly instrumental shell be in virtually everything in the White House.
The president confirms Jarretts tremendous cache with him, personally and politically. In July, Obama told New York Times reporter Robert Draper, I trust her completely She is family. Obama trusts Jarrett to speak for me, particularly when were dealing with delicate issues. When asked, he admitted he runs every decision by her.

Basically these clowns are all 60's radicals who never stopped believing Marxism and are now trying to blend it into a Chicago style mob/Marxist takeover of the country. Scary as hell.
