ABC's Jonathan Karl on Tuesday asked White House press secretary why the letter from the White House to Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) inviting him to a meeting with President Obama regarding the Texas border crisis was from Valerie Jarrett. While it's routine for staff to draft such letters for elected officials, matters of such magnitude and to other elected officials of stature are almost always in the name of the principle. The president's spokesman, when asked why the letter was from Jarrett rather than the President, said "Valerie spends a lot of time maintaining relationships with governors around the country" on behalf of the President.

This latest revelation was on the heels of Monday's question by Karl as to whether the President writes his own tweets, and if he was even aware of what is being tweeted in his name. The response? The president does not write, nor does he read his own tweets.
The issue of the tweets was about the controversy surrounding a tweet by President Barack Obama last Thursday where he seemed to be saying the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision meant women could not make their own health care decisions:
Barack Obama ✔ @BarackObama
Throwback to last week when a woman—not her boss—made
her own decisions about her health care. #TBT

Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed that the tweets were issued by Organizing For America (OFA) independent of the White House. Though the twitter handle is @BarackObama, the White House claims no responsibility or accountability, for the tweets.
However, he did not offer any explanation as to why an "independent" organization can tweet in Barack Obama's name or how this can occur without input and permission from the president's political team, nor did he or anyone else officially associated with the president or the White House express objection to the OFA tweet.

I sure hope the ICBMs, bombers and SLBMs aren't being run by OFA or ACORN. Not that it would be that much different, from what I've seen of this administration.
The country is being run on Marxist/Liberal AUTOPILOT!
More probably that with an Ivy League education he can’t reed or writ much gude.
The truth is, Valerie Jarrett is the brains behind the dummy. Now she just wants credit for the job (disaster) she’s calling the shots on.
...something any Freeper could have told him 6 years ago.
Our president was born in Iran.
HA! ABC is just now waking up to the fact that Zero bailed on the job except for the salary and Jarret is now president?! silly rabbits. Wait til they wake up to the realization that the Libs think the presidency now should be an affirmative action hire (regardless of experience), so it’s ‘fair.’
Wasn’t he just say about the lawsuit against him, we were gripping about him, and said, for what, “just doing my job?
Maybe he doesn’t know other people are doing his job, keeping in touch with the governors, writing his tweets, fathering his daughters...
I could not find anything on her heritage. Is she part black/ Part Persian? Part cat?
While it's routine for staff to draft such letters for elected officials, matters of such magnitude and to other elected officials of stature are almost always in the name of the principle.The letter WAS in the name of the "principle".
Valerie Jarrett has been pulling the Obama strings since their days in Chicago. It's just becoming more blatant.
Valerie Jarrett born in Shiraz, Iran to African American parents. Her father was born in Washington DC, her mother was born in Chicago Illinois.
Obama just wanted to BE president. He doesn’t want to do the JOB of being president.
Thank-you for the info.
I was hoping that she wasn’t black, so the dems who voted for him, would feel betrayed that the first black president wasn’t actually black, but now it turns out the first black president is black and a woman.
How do they come up with these air-tight scenarios?
The parents were communists.
I wonder how it makes someone feel after “following” Barack Obama you find out you’ve just been following some flack. Duped and too stupid to know it?
A monster is running the White House. Has been since the propaganda media got him elected. When the wheels come off and the world descends into war journalists look at yourselves in the mirror and know that you caused it to happen.
I can’t believe anyone would find her attractive.
