White House Memo Shows Obama Administration’s Painful Efforts To Defend Valerie Jarrett

White House Memo Shows Obama Administration’s Painful Efforts To Defend Valerie Jarrett
Buzz Feed ^ | 7/3/13 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 3:05:45 PM by Nachum
A soon-to-be-released book by Mark Leibovich reveals in excruciating detail the White House’s efforts to defend longtime Obama friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett in the run-up to a New York Times profile that ran in September 2012.
Leibovich, himself a reporter for the New York Times, got ahold of a White House memo titled “The Magic of Valerie” that included 33 talking points circulated throughout the administration.
Here are the talking points excerpted in Leibovich’s forthcoming book, This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral-Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!-in America’s Gilded Capital:
The magic of Valerie is her intellect and her heart. She is an incredibly kind, caring and thoughtful person with a unique ability to pinpoint the voiceless and shine a light on them and the issues they and the President care about with the ultimate goal of making a difference in people’s lives.

I always have to ask myself, if she’s got SO much going for her ... what the he^% does she need a schlock like “O” for?
Why can’t she make it on her very own, with all her ‘savvy’ and ‘compassion’ BS...?
Why can’t she do without a creep like “O” ?
Beause she is more crooked and is a worse CREEP than HE IS!!!
HER background would not bear up to one instant of scrutiny or why else why would her resume read like a greeting card!!

EXCERPT In 1983 Valerie Jarrett married the son of Vernon Jarrett, a black journalist who formerly wrote for the communist-influenced Chicago Defender. In the 1940s, Mr. Jarrett was a leader of the Chicago chapter of American Youth for Democracy—youth wing of the Communist Party USA. He also served on a publicity committee for the Packinghouse Workers Union, a Chicago-based entity dominated by the CPUSA. In each of these endeavors, Mr. Jarrett had close contact with the aforementioned communist, Frank Marshall Davis (Obama’s mentor).
According to The Washington Post, Vernon Jarrett was “a key influence” in persuading Harold Washington, a politician with powerful socialist ties, to run for mayor of Chicago in 1983. Four years later Mr. Jarrett helped his daughter-in-law, Valerie, enter the political arena as an official in Mayor Washington’s Administration. After Washington’s death in 1987, Ms. Jarrett worked as deputy chief of staff for his successor, Richard Daley.
Valerie Jarrett’s ties to Barack and Michelle Obama were first formed in 1991, when Ms. Jarrett recruited Michelle (who at the time was engaged to Barack) to Chicago’s City Hall. Jarrett quickly became a trusted confidante of both the Obamas.
Thus would she play a key role in then-Senator Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Following the election, Jarrett was appointed as a senior advisor and assistant to Mr. Obama, who admittedly consults Jarrett on every important political decision he makes.
Indeed, the president once told a New York Times reporter that he completely trusts Jarrett “to speak for me, particularly when we’re dealing with delicate issues.”
It seems that this trust extends even to Jarrett’s handling of such “delicate issues” as whether Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of Islamic terrorism, will develop a nuclear weapon and, in its own way, forever “fundamentally transform” life not only in the United States, but throughout the world.

VALERIE’S CANONIZATION is a blatant govt slapdown-—reinforcing Ohaha’s belief WRT how horrible and unworthy we Americans are, particularly White American males.
To enjoy being a citizen in Obamaland requires a certain degree of suspension of reality while Ohaha constantly crams our unworthiness down our throats.

‘Gales of Laughter…’
Excerpt:
Reading that paean to Valerie reminded me of something. It took me a minute to figure out what; then it came to me:
Actually, the Monkees’ version isn’t as saccharine, and it is blessedly shorter. But someone forgot to tell them how to spell “Valerie.”
Valleri. I love her Valleri.
There’s a girl I know who makes me feel so good.
And I wouldn’t live without her, even if I could.
They call her Valleri.
I love her Valleri.
[Instrumental]
She’s the same little girl who used to hang around my door.
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before.
I call her Valleri.
I love her Valleri.
[Instrumental]
Valleri. I love her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.
I need ya, Valleri.

Truth be known Val/Jar “is” the defacto potus.
she runs the show and there is little question about it.She’s an iron handed commie who trusts no one and mothers both the dear leader and the big mooch. SHe has gotten rid of numerous high ranking officials close to zero since she trusts no one ever.She actually makes a perfect potus for this regime of arch rivals and commies.
If left to her own devices she will continue to destroy the country just as fast as she can.
