Firing Offense? Valerie Jarrett is now scapegoat-in-chief
FoxNews.com ^ | 11-11-2014 | Howard Kurtz

The media have identified the problem with the Obama presidency and want her tarred and feathered.

Or just fired. Or sidelined. Or made an ambassador to some faraway land.

Her name is Valerie Jarrett.

White House aide and longtime Chicago pal of Barack and Michelle Obama has been a target roughly from the day she stepped foot in Washington.

But now, in the wake of the Democrats’ midterm wipeout, the press is really unloading on her. She has become the scapegoat-in-chief.

The notion that a single staff person is responsible for most of the administration’s shortcomings over the last six years is rather far-fetched. Whether it’s ObamaCare or the VA or immigration or ISIS or Syria, it’s the president who is making the decisions and selling them. If the principal problem, as the president told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation,” was a failure to adequately communicate his policies, then the man with the bully pulpit must take most of the blame.

"The notion that a single staff person is responsible for most of the administration’s shortcomings over the last six years is rather far-fetched."

I think it's pretty good assumption. Everything goes through her. Everything.

I can't see anything ever happening to her. She's basically his surrogate mother.

She’s going nowhere.

She’s his Iranian puppet master.

The media is thinking they’ll “fire” Obama’s boss?

Plus she’s got all the goods on him. She knows where he was born, along with all of his “proclivities”. He will behave himself, as required.

She runs the corrupt pro-Iranian government
and will take out anyone and anything in her way.

She could retire to a palace on a beach ... and still run the operation. It would be like a mob boss running the syndicate from prison.

In the old USSR, any movement against an established member of the power structure was preceded with a carefully crafted media campaign to discredit and weaken that individual before the takedown.

Our media is currently operating on the well established Soviet Era propaganda model an what we are seeing is the media testing the waters for a Democrat led Jarrett takedown

Throughout history, there has been cases of a “trusted minister” who whispers in a king’s ear. Obama was elected on his charm and looks and not on any achievements (because he has literally no achievements other than “showing up” that would qualify him for office), so it is not so far-fetched that he is not the mastermind of his administration.

:: The media is thinking they’ll “fire” Obama’s boss? ::

The media believes it self to be the real decision makers and they continuously attempt to CYA everything that doesn’t agree with their ideology (marxism done by ^really^ smart people).

Ever since they caused the removal of a Republican president (Nixon) they believe they also cause the election of ^any^ president/congressman they deem worthy. They look on Reagan as an anomaly in the process.

Jarrett gives and takes orders to and from Obama, face to face, to leave no trail. This protects both of them. They are indispensable to each other, so she’s not going anywhere.

Everything goes through her. Everything.

She is properly addressed as "Madam President".

If she goes, it is because Moochelle is finally tired of sharing attention with her.

No it isn't. A single person's advice can be a disaster for any administration. Everything has a cause and effect.................
