> > The schedule illustrates that no one else in the White House now has a range of responsibilities equal to Jarrett's. When Obama took office, she was the least seen of his four senior advisors. Now Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, chief political strategist David Axelrod and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs have all departed. Jarrett, 54, remains, picking up new duties from each of them. Long the closest personal confidant of Barack and Michelle Obama, she is steadily becoming more visible at the president's side.
New Chief of Staff Bill Daley may be the White House major-domo, but when there is a staffer in the presidential limo, more often than not it is Jarrett.>>
> >She is a consensus-builder who reinforces Obama's tendency toward centrism....(huh???)

Valerie Jarrett?
Isn't she the Chicago slum-lord who was going to make a killing when Moochelle and Barry brought the Olympics to town?

I believe she is connected to the Dalys. She was the right hand person to the Mayor. I would love to see her in jail. She is a leech as well as slum lord. The people in her ghettos should blame her for their ills.

Short excerpt from Wikipedia here.
Jarrett was born in Shiraz,
Iran to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz, as part of a program where American doctors and agricultural experts sought to help jump-start developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, returning to Chicago in 1963.
Jarrett graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon, a New England boarding school, in 1974. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University in 1978, and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Michigan
Law School in 1981.
Jarrett continued to work in the mayor's office in the 1990s. She was Deputy Chief of Staff for Mayor Richard Daley, during which time (1991) she hired Michelle Robinson, then engaged to
Barack Obama, away from a private law firm-------------------enough said------enough needed.
The sewer trout will always owe her.

She is a Voice for women and Minorities. They Forgot to Mention Communists Like Van Jones who she commented on,that they have had thier Eye on him for a Long time and were glad to have him in the White House. Until he was exposed as a Communist and they Dumped him In the Middle of the Night

Ulsterman’s White House Insider claims Jarrett is the real power in the White House; often speaking for Barry HUSSEIN in meetings while he remains silent.

Valerie is 3/4 of Commandante Zer0’s brain; the other 1/4 is called a teleprompter (with a staff of ghost writers). Zer0 himself is an empty suit — filled-in by others more capable than he ever could become. The Zer0 image of the “great, all-powerful Oz” is slavishly cultivated and maintained by the MSM.
