Attorney General Eric Holder, former U.N. ambassador Vernon Jordan and Chicago financier and Obama pal John Rogers arrived earlier Saturday at the wedding, which is at the home of Valerie Jarrett’s mother. Flowers have turned the yard at the home into a beautiful setting. A huge white tent has been set up in the back yard."
I just heard a severe weather watch for Chicago until 2:00 AM. Maybe the Messiah can raise his arms and split the storm clouds over the wedding.
