NYTimes: Valerie Jarrett Gets Full-Time Secret Service Protection
September 4, 2012 by Scotty Starnes
Of course Jarrett must be protected. She’s Obama’s puppet master.
From WFB:
A bombshell front-page story in Sunday’s New York Timesinvestigates Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to President Obama and chair of the “White House council on women and girls,” according to her official biography.She’s a Chicago slum-lord.
Among the revelations included in the Times exposé: Jarrett is protected by a full-time Secret Service detail.
The White House refuses to disclose the number of agents or their cost, citing security concerns. But the appearance so worried some aides that two were dispatched to urge her to give the detail up.
She listened politely, one said, but the agents stayed.
The article describes Jarrett, heir to a Chicago real-estate fortune and a longtime fixer for former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley as well as for President Obama, as “the other power in the West Wing.”
For example, when billionaire investor and Obama supporter Warren Buffett visited the White House for lunch last July, “the table was set for three”: Buffett, the president of the United States, and Valerie Jarrett.
Jarrett once ordered “a drink from a four-star general she mistook for a waiter” at a White House event, according to the report.
Moreover, Jarrett “is the only staff member who regularly follows the president home from the West Wing to the residence, a practice that has earned her the nickname ‘the Night Stalker.’”
Jarrett is identified by Times correspondent Jo Becker as the person responsible for such controversial policy decisions as the insurance mandate for contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization procedures contained in the Obama health care overhaul; the president’s questionable decisions to sue the state of Arizona for its immigration enforcement statute SB1020 and to allow Millennial illegal immigrants to apply for work permits without consequence; and the president’s 2009 decision to fly to Copenhagen to lobby the International Olympic Committee to select Chicago for the site of the 2016 Olympics. The committee chose Rio De Janeiro.
