Obama’s Valerie Jarrett: Often Whispered about, But Never Challenged
national review ^ | October 24, 2013 | John Fund

President Obama's aides went to extraordinary lengths to uncover the identity of a senior official who was using Twitter to make snarky comments about White House staffers.

...What apparently intensified the campaign to identify the “snarker” was a comment about Valerie Jarrett, the senior Obama adviser who has her own Secret Service detail and appears to exercise an inordinate amount of power behind the scenes. Joseph tweeted “I’m a fan of Obama, but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like Valerie Jarrett concerns me.”

Jarrett, an old Chicago friend of both Barack and Michelle Obama, appears to exercise such extraordinary influence she is sometimes quietly referred to as “Rasputin” on Capitol Hill, a reference to the mystical monk who held sway over Russia’s Czar Nicholas as he increasingly lost touch with reality during World War I.

Darrell Delamaide, a columnist for Dow Jones’s MarketWatch, says that “what has baffled many observers is how Jarrett, a former cog in the Chicago political machine and a real-estate executive, can exert such influence on policy despite her lack of qualifications in national security, foreign policy, economics, legislation or any of the other myriad specialties the president needs in an adviser.”

Delamaide believes the term “vacuous cipher” that was applied to Jarrett stung so much because it could be used as a metaphor for the administration in general.

… Up against a court flatterer of that caliber it’s no surprise that Jarrett has outlasted almost everyone who was in Obama’s original White House team — from chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to political guru David Axelrod to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. All are known to have crossed her, and all are gone. As one former Obama aide once told me: “Valerie is ‘She Who Must Not be Challenged.’”

Fellow travellers with a common socialist objective

They aren't socialists. They're racists.

Their only objective is to loot as much of Whitey's money as they can for racial revenge.

They would starve white people in concentration camps if they thought they could get away with it.

This is the single most evil "president" in our history. He is motivated ONLY by his unquenched thirst for racial retribution. And Jarrett - a person who is involved in so many crooked deals that anyone else would have been prosecuted and locked up long ago - burns with that hatred even more intensely.

They don't subscribe to Eastern European utopian ideologies. Just the oldest one of all: lust for revenge.

Jarret now works for the same people that Bormann worked for and her job is the same - to bring down a great nation.

Who? The Illuminati? You mean Nazism and WW2 were really a plot to destroy Germany, not to raise it uber alles?

“Jarrett now works for the same people that Bormann worked for, and her job is the same—to bring down a great nation.”

Great observation. Now, if only Congress, the Supreme Court, the military and the majority of the nation would admit that truth and have the courage to act upon it.

The Nazis definitely schemed to bring down the Weimar Republic, and destroy the old order that had more of less controlled Germany in it’s various permutations since the Middle Ages.

That snarky staffer had better run (not walk) fast and far away from the White Hut and change his name. Fort Marcy Park is just a short drive away...

And if you read either of Paul Kengor’s books “Dupes” or “The Communist” you will find out that her husband is also of “good Chicago communist roots” going back to Mr. Jarrett’s grandfather who was a party member along with Frank Marshall Davis, bh0’s mentor.

One wonders how long this has been in the making? Vernon Jarrett and Van Jones, even though, years apart in age are from the same area in West Tennessee.

I know that O likes the MB, and that he and VJ pursue policies favorable to them, like favoring Morsi and introducing lots of MB plants into government positions. But I wonder how unified they are? Is Morsi the boss go to guy? Is it some Imam I haven't heard of? How does Obama's obvious buddy Erdogan fit in? In other words, how organized or factionalized is the MB?

I recommend you read Paul Kengor’s lastest book “The Communist” it is about the life of Frank Marshall Davis and also Kengor’s “Dupes” about American Communists, progressives, and fellow travelers who support the Communist Party agenda. You will find the links all described there, the originate in Chicago in the 1920s and 30s.

Consider the Arab money-men (Saudi, but non-government, a la bin Laden) who a.) finance the Muslim Brotherhood, b.) financed Obama's education at Harvard and c.) stepped in to fund Ayers' et al domestic Communist cell in Chicago when the Soviets went south.

There is a reason why the federal government's domestic policy is Communistic while our foreign policy favors the MB. Our federal government is jointly owned...
