Jarrett’s father was the notorious head of the Chicago Public Housing Authority - totally corrupt operation.
Jarrett is a dangerous combination of what Ed Meese and Mike Deaver were to Reagan - second to none.
As to this populist crap, it might shore up his base but it won’t play in Main Street and will rattle unemployment worse. You can’t be the “populist” when you are the nation’s chief executive officer and enjoy commanding majorities in both chambers of Congress. It’s a non-starter.
Hope BO comes out screaming and angry at SOTU address. The RATS will continue to jump ship.
Good afternoon, mw18787! I am glad you posted what you did.
The word “populist” has been thrown around quite a bit lately, even in regard to Palin.

I appreciate your reply as I am just trying to understand better.
