Valerie Jarrett will be welcomed back to her native Iran...
In all of this no one mentioned val jar until now, hope she has a rope with her name on it too
During the Pahlavi era.
Her dad, a doctor, went to Iran on a U.S. medical aid program after finishing his military service in the U.S. They spent a few years there before moving back to the U.S., where he put together a pretty distinguished career.
If ValJar had a trace of wit, she could have turned the whole born-in-Iran thing to great advantage by observing that, had they still been there by the time of the revolution, they would probably have been imprisoned as American spies or arrested as Pahlavi loyalists, and she might be wearing a bag over her head today. She could do the "thank God for coming back to America" thing, except that she chose the hate America track instead.
That’s right.
