Valerie Jarrett's Show
American Spectator ^ | 08 sept 09

Posted on 09/08/2009 3:37:08 AM PDT by rellimpank

The White House shouldn't expect the furor over Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality Van Jones to go away just because he's resigned, says a former Obama Administration transition team member, because "the same problems that they created with Jones's hiring are there for others and they don't seem to care about the political damage these people may inflict."

According to several White House sources, Jones was hired for his "green jobs czar" positions over concerns raised by the White House Counsel's Office, after Jones's background materials came back with several of what were termed "inconsistencies" in the Standard Form 86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions.

YOUR THOUGHTS ARE MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY:

(1) Sociopath Ohaha rubbing it in——keeps reminding US ‘he won’..........

(2) Wishing Republicans in Congress would get up and walk out when Ohaha starts bashing the ‘right’ tomorrow night.

My normally tv news free wife for some reason clicked on Fox News and someone was complaining about the lack of vetting of all the Czars.

She laughed and asked if I wrote the script for the gentleman re the lack of vetting Van Jones and the other Czars.

A country that is concerned about its survival doesn’t place people in power positions or any position where they could hurt this country without proper vetting.

I doubt if any so called Czar and members of 0b0z0’s kitchen cabinet have been vetted properly.

“Too bad Ohaha didn’t nominate Jones as The WH Perpetual Victim Czar.”

Maybe Ohaha can create a new Czar position for Van Jones:

Perpetual Hate America Victims’s Czar!

Thanks for the appropriate jpg. This lack of vetting has to be driving a few of us right up the wall.

Van Jones would have at least 35 million people in America to represent as: “Perpetual Hate America Victims’s Czar!”

A Shadow Government of Chicago political mobsters sitting in our WH,
conspiring and colluding in ways to destroy America and American patriots.

Van Jones and the other czars do not need vetting to 0 and his pals.

Thay are all fellow travelers.

No need for paper work nor questions.

They are well known to each other.

Imho, Sunstein is one of the more dangerous czar’s in this administration. He thinks FDR didn’t go “far enough” with the New Deal and thinks that it’s time for the second part of the New Deal. Sunstein also thinks the US Constitution is open to vast interpretation and doesn’t mean today what it meant when it was crafted by our forefathers. Dangerous guy.

Oh, and did I mention his wife, Samantha Power, was appointed by Obama to the National Security Council - this was after Power was fired from the Obama campaign for calling Hillary Clinton “a monster” in a foreign press interview. This gal thinks our military should get involved in global “moral causes”.

Though others must go, Jarrett’s absense will do the
most psychological damage to Obama. She is a “familial”
cheer leader. Losing her would be like losing his
“Mommy” AND her significant mob connections.

Jarrett is TALKSICK!

Who received the Van Jones FBI reports and who over-ruled the findings?

She should resign but she won’t. I understand she’s the one who set up the meeting with Ayers and Obama when he was running for the Senate or maybe the Illinois Senate.

JARRETT: Oooh. Van Jones, alright! So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he’s not that old, for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/24/us/politics/24jarrett.html?pagewanted=2&_r=2&hp

The Obamas were not her only proteges — Ms. Jarrett kept a database of them, in case a prospective employer called — but she drew them deep into her world, taking them to Sunday dinners at her parents’ house, where Hyde Park's leading lights gathered over green beans and tomatoes from the garden. Eventually, she even invited the Obamas to vacation with her in the elite black enclaves of Martha's Vineyard, introducing them to others in her high-achieving family, including a cousin, Ann Jordan, the wife of the Washington lawyer Vernon Jordan, to whom Ms. Jarrett has frequently turned for advice.

In her years at City Hall, Ms. Jarrett absorbed several Daley leadership precepts: tough negotiation, pragmatism and block-by-block attention to the city's fabric. She developed a specialty in dealing with extremely angry people. After a flood swept through the basements of downtown offices in 1992, Ms. Jarrett had the unenviable task of talking to the building owners. A few years later, as chairwoman of the Chicago Transit Authority, Ms. Jarrett had to defend service cuts before irate residents.

Her rule became, Never argue back. “She almost refuses to react,” said MarySue Barrett, a former colleague, adding that Ms. Jarrett often surprises opponents by agreeing with them and then suggesting concrete measures to help.

Ms. Jarrett, who was briefly married to a physician who died a few years after their divorce, is a single mother of a daughter, Laura, a Harvard Law student.

Jarrett held several Chicago City Hall jobs under Daley, then was commissioner of the Chicago Transit Authority.......

As they say in Chicago---once a commissioner always a commissioner.

Jarrett's probably still collecting multiple city salaries, bonuses, tax-deferred annuities, and several city and state pensions.

QUESTION Does Glenn know if Jarrett paid all her Chicago property and income taxes...and her federal taxes (/snic)?

Liz IIRC the property tax in Chicago is controlled by another crook, who’s wife is a judge. (he takes a commission from each case he handles. I’ll go to the Chicago Crime thread and get you the information if you want the details.

I’d say if she’d in any legal problem it’s because she took HUD money and didn’t use it to improve the property she used to obtain the money....Technique that was perfected by the Landreau’s of LA....(Pappa Landreau was head of HUD during the Carter administration)
