Who is Valerie Jarrett?

What simple question? There was no "question" to answer...Just another one of your silly speculative posts that doesn't do anything but try to create something where nothing exists...

But thanks for playing.

Maybe we can have a "Sesame Street" moment so I can dumb it down for you; WHO IS INFLUENCING THE DECISIONS MADE BY THE POTUS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND WHY DOES BARRY ALWAYS PICK THE WRONG ANSWER? I'll save you a few keystrokes, Barry is only worried about Barry and getting re-elected.

Wrong answer? In who's opinion? Where is your proof that ANYONE including Valerie Jarrett is influencing his decisions beyond the normal advisory role that all presidents afford to their trusted members of the administration? The article is speculation and innuendo, How does one answer a question based on that????

I just want an answer to my simple question. Can you speak on JL's behalf or do I need to wait for a direct answer?

....I speak only for myself (who is JL?), and I thought your question was amusing.

.....are we not allowed to comment on your posts unless asked a direct question from you. How quaint...

Your "simple question" is not a question. It's speculation based on innuendo. You're not looking for an answer...You're looking to play "gotcha" with right-wing speculation from the usual sources. But it's amusing, especially since it really isn't a "question."

And Romney is only looking out for Romney and getting elected.

But thanks for playing.

Valerie Jarret? It could simply be that she is someone they trust to think in their best interests instead of the usual Washington backstabbing and power playing.

Example, after a cabinet meeting, Obama can use her as a sounding board for the important topics being brought up.

So many administrations like to bring in people they have worked with in the past, like Carter's good old boys or W borrowing his dad's advisors. Obama did bring in some Clinton people, but I think you would be distrustful of some of them with Hilary still considering another run at the time.

So let me understand, Toad posts a cut and paste piece from a right wing online site without providing any original comments, then complains about the lack of debate on the issue. Toad, when you hold yourself up for ridicule, you get ridiculed.
