I have very specific responsibilities,” Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president and a longtime family friend of the Obamas, said at a Politico breakfast. [WATCH VIDEO] Jarrett said that “people sometimes presume because I am a friend of the president and first lady” that she´s able to exert influence when the Obamas retire from the office to their residence. “There is this

According to at least one online source, there is an interesting connection between Jarrett and Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

She's not 0’s Chief of Staff.

She's his nanny.

She gets Barry up. She puts him to bed. She tells him to clean up his room.

And she reports everything back to Michelle.

I get the feeling she is not enjoying all of the attention.

I happen to think Vajayjay is correct when she says she and the Obamas don’t talk about work when they are together. “Fundementally transforming” America is a way of life for these people. They live and breathe their marxism and it’s not work to them.

Sounds like Jarret is distancing from THE FOREIGNER as well.

“I have very specific responsibilities,”

The text at the link sheds no light, but did one of the ...talented journalists... at this Politico “breakfast” immediately ask, “And what are those responsibilities, very specifically.”

If the video contains this obvious question, and/or an answer, please advise.

I dunno, but VJ has her hand up his puppet chute (props to the writers at King of Queens for that one).

Isn’t referring to her as a “shadow” anything verging on being racist? Oh, yes...shouldn’t this criminal be in prison?

When I'm not referring to Jarrett as Lizard Face, I can also call her “Buffy.”
