Who is Valerie Jarrett?

Let the backscratching continue apace.

I say Obama just goes ahead and commutes Tony Rezko’s sentence and names him HUD chief. I mean, if we’re going for Kafkaesque anyway, may as well go full out, right?

    So I should move some of my 401k out of oil companies and into slums and ghettoes, sounds to me like.

  2. happyfeet says:

    “No one should have to live like this, and no one did anything about it,” said Cynthia Ashley, who has lived at Grove Parc since 1994.

    This is how people of a well-organized community think I think and I think Baracky thinks so too.

  3. I was asking myself the same thing last night and came up with: Who is Valerie Jarrett? Someone Michelle needs to keep a very close eye on:

    “Jarrett played a hybrid role in the campaign: She was one of Obama’s South Side pals, along with Marty Nesbitt and Eric Whitaker, who cheered him up and kept him loose and lunched with him before a debate; she was also a member of the inner campaign circle, a troubleshooter without portfolio, trusted by Barack and Michelle. She was also the highest ranking female and African American in the Obama campaign, a roaming firefighter dousing political flames around the country.” – The Chicago Sun-Times

    “[Jarrett] is linked to Mr. Obama: In too many ways to count. Mr. Obama is a man with many mentors, but she has been one of his most longstanding and influential tutors…” -NYT

    “Chicago businesswoman Valerie Jarrett has earned all sorts of nicknames as an aide to President-elect Barack Obama — from “First Friend” to “big sister” to “the other half of Obama’s brain.'” -Time

    She *ahem* kept him loose. *cough!*

    Nope. You 401k will be confiscated so that UAW members will be able to keep their $75/hour jobs.

    Maybe she wanted to help get people out of public assisted housing by making it uninhabitable. It is a little disconcerting that people who claim to want to help out their poor constituents, have no trouble walking away when things go wrong.

    Q :Who is she?

    A: A Community organgrinder.

    BTW, I saw over at Hot Air the latest version of Carter Redux, we are now going to have Robert Malley erect a statue to his father Simon in front of the AIPAC headquarters as Israel is cut into little ribbons to be worn in the hair of Tony McPeak and Samantha Power.

    But, with Brzezinsky and Co. leading the charge on Middle East policy in the Carter Redux…do you think they will bring back Legionnaires Disease?

  7. cfbleachers says:

    One last question, before pondering how applying for a position as a page in the government requires more documentation and proof than does the leader of the government…along the leftist spectrum…is being a complete ayershole more or less exalted than being a plouffebag?

  8. Sdferr says:

    She looks to me like she’s had some eye-work done, if that can be taken to be any indication of who she is.

  9. Techie says:

    So, the communites that Obama! and his cronies organized are still pretty much hellholes?

    I feel better already.

  10. urthshu AKA The Corinthian says:

    Hellholes? You’re surprised about that?

  11. Rich Cox says:

    She’s even lighter than The O!ne. Yeah… more of that Change…

  12. Rich Cox says:

    urthshu…

    That site scared the jibblies out of me… looking at the New Deal posters…. I kept expecting to see Uncle Joe on one…

    There you go, outing another covert agent.

  15. J. "Trashman" Peden says:

    Sounds like Obama, too, doesn’t think He needs a wastebasket. Nay, more, progressively creating as much trash as possible is apparently just so much more fun for everyone! – In The Land of Make Believe, and all.

  16. Jeffersonian says:

    The obvious is being missed here. Ms. Jarrett’s tenure at this government-sponsored slum was an unqualified triumph. Does anyone think there was a single vote for McCain in the entire shambles?

    Now THAT’s the kind of change we’re likely to see more of in America.

  17. Rusty says:

    Don’t say I didn’t warn everyone that this was going to happen. Chicago City Hall, and The Cook County Board are in the Oval Office.God help us. Hide what you can’t nail down.

  18. alppuccino says:

    So the residents of Grove Parc Plaza are all related to Obama, right?

  19. Not the least outrageous part of this is that some will confuse that hellhole with the good work and name of Habitat for Humanity.

  20. Randy says:

    If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Jarrett is the Obama spokesperson who said he will start to rule on Jan. 20.

    And Penny “Financial Black Hole” Pritzker at Commerce? W.T.F?

  22. truthteller says:

    WOW…..this is the first thread of comments or forum related to BO that has not been filled with mindless, left-wing crazies making personal attacks on any commenter who didn’t walk in lock-step with them. There are actually numerous comments that show intellect and independent thought. This has to be a first during this election/post-election season. What a relief. Will there be many non-lawyers in the White House?
