alerie Jarrett Pushed Away from Obama Toward End of Campaign Daniel Halper December 17, 2012 11:42 AM

During the tail-end of the presidential campaign, Valerie Jarrett, a close aide to Barack Obama, was pushed away from the president. The news of the conflict is reported in a new Politico e-book, which came out today.

"Obama adviser Jarrett — a close friend of the First Family but an unpopular figure with much of the president’s staff — was irritated with the debate prep team after the Denver debacle. Another adviser said she made it clear 'the team, and not just the president, made a strategic miscalculation' and needed to 'adjust their antennae.' She hadn’t been part of the debate team and demanded to know why Obama’s other aides hadn’t gotten a heads-up that he was about to bomb," Jonathan Martin and Glenn Thrush report.

Her intervention made the situation more fraught than it needed to be, and they took steps to calm the situation.

It would be a good idea, several top staffers quietly agreed, if Jarrett was occupied with business that didn’t offer her much unstructured time with Obama on Air Force One during the final weeks.

Elsewhere, the two come back to this point, writing:

Obama — who privately joked Romney wasn’t quite “human enough” to get elected as the campaign hit the homestretch — bounced back after the first debate and roared back to life in the final three weeks.

But a man with unshakeable confidence was deeply shaken by his own failure in Denver — far more than anyone on the outside could have known at the time. Intuitively, Obama and his top advisers quietly waged a campaign-within-a-campaign to buck up their bummed-out candidate and, even more quietly, to purge distractions and negativity from his midst.

Gone, for a time, was Obama’s beloved iPad, which delivered a stream of sour commentary. Gone too, gently shuttled off to campaign events outside the Air Force One bubble, was his close friend Valerie Jarrett, who had a tendency to “stir him up,” said more than one Obama insider.

Obama campaign officials publicly denied there was any organized effort to get Jarrett out of Obama’s space. But privately, a top Democratic official said they needed to “make sure she wasn’t around all the time … that she was gainfully employed somewhere else.”

Jarrett has been close personal friends with the Obamas for many years. The news of the rift comes as a surprise, even as Jarrett seems to have regained her close relationship with the president of the United States.

Let’s try to connect some dots here.

I’ll list what we know:

1- the 0b0z0 campaign and the bathhouse were always very tight on info. Their transparency is known to be nothing less than an air tightly.

2- any info given to from those communists to their beloved MSM is either:

.a- not true (diversion/distraction)
.b- half true (explaining something true or known with a lie)
.c- trial balloon OR
.d- true (Friday dumps)

We have this let out info about keeping Jarrett away from 0b0z0 during the last part of the campaign. If we choose from the above menu, we’ll arrive at the conclusion that “b” is the only possible application.

Jarrett was “away” from her adorable 0b0z0 for a certain time span at the closing month of the campaign and she was gainfully employed doing other things. That IS the TRUE part. It is to signal idiots that 0b0z0 is his own man and that he’s the guy (gay) in charge.

What wasn’t said and was a lie by omission is, what was she doing? That could be figured out from the general time line of September/October ‘12 when the 0b0z0 campaign was shocked to the core after 0b0z0’s first debate loss. Panic must have set in and they were looking for an accomplishment of a bin-Laden-feat caliber to sway the “all but lost election” to their favor.

The feat they tried to manufacture was an agreement to “solve” the Iranian nuke crisis hoping to announce it before election day and just after they leaked a “ rumor” that an Administration official is talking to the Iranians, blah, blah, blah....

What the communists didn’t count on was that the Mullahs gave them the usual, venerable middle finger and as it turned out, 0b0z0 had more communists, idiots and thieves to win the election.

This is just my opinion. I believe it’s how this 0chamberlain puppet is selling out the country, jeopardizing its security, spending us into oblivion and still president Jarrett is in charge, when she has any spare time from hate-Whitey activities.

Bump for later

Thank you.

Sounds factual.

Too bad you don’t have articles at the Weekly Standard instead of Kristol or whoever wrote that.

That Kristol is a piece of work or most likely, a piece of something else.
