The difference is, Jay the Newskid can be fired, but Jarret can’t. Or won’t be, she knows far too much, and Obama could not function without her.

That's why I think the hiring of Podesta was not Obama's idea (and it certainly wasn't Jarrett's).

I don't know who has the ultimate controls in hand, but it isn't Obama.
