Edward Klein calls her the de facto President, the power behind the throne…
In the White House pecking order, Jarrett has more clout than the president’s chief of staff. During the savage internecine warfare between Jarrett and Obama’s first two chiefs of staff — Rahm Emanuel and Bill Daley — Obama sided most of the time with Jarrett, a classic limousine liberal who believes that Obama was elected president in order to engineer social change. Ultimately, Jarrett emasculated Emanuel and Daley and forced them from their jobs.
Yet her record at the White House has been a one of shambolic incompetence…
She has also been responsible for much of the incompetence and amateurism that have been the hallmarks of Obama’s time in office. Indeed, Jarrett has been on the wrong side of practically every consequential issue to come across the president’s desk.
Very much part of the Chicago political Democrat machine, one of the most corrupt and vicious in America, Jarrett’s inefficiency and ineffectiveness proved no barrier to earning massive six figure salaries from taxpayer funded executive positions.
Despite her impeccable social credentials, Jarrett’s record before she went to Washington was spotty at best. After Mayor Daley made her commissioner of planning, she became embroiled in a massive screw-up in the city’s public housing revitalization plan, which cost Chicago millions of dollars in overruns. Daley fired her without explanation.
After she left city hall, Jarrett became CEO of Habitat Executive Services, where she earned $300,000 in salary and $550,000 in deferred compensation. She managed a federally subsidized housing complex that was seized by the government after inspectors found crime-infested slum conditions and widespread blight.
Before 2008 this wealthy, privately educated woman’s Chicago cv and her very close connection to the Obamas was a matter of public record. Post inauguration the strength of her influence at the White House has been constantly acknowledged by insiders. Yet the media, so quick to fact check Palin’s tanning bed, Perry’s rock and Romney’s schoolboy antics has consistently refused to shine any spotlight the President’s eminence grise…
No wonder the mainstream media is known as Obama’s “Palace Guard”…..
