Valerie, you arrogant slut!

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett dodged questions about the Department of Treasury’s decision-making behind terminating 20,000 non-union Delphi salaried retirees’ pensions during the 2009 auto bailout.
Jarrett also refused to answer why she has Secret Service agents assigned to her personally to protect her.
Video shot by Washington Times reporter Kerry Picket shows Jarrett coming over to Picket when she didn’t hear her original question on her Secret Service detail. “I’m sorry,” Jarrett as she moved in to hear the question again. Jarrett then walked away as Picket asked a followup question.
With Jarrett still only a few feet away, Picket then shouted several questions about the Obama administration’s decision-making process during the auto bailout — and specifically the decision to terminate the 20,000 non-union workers’ pensions.
Jarrett’s Secret Service detail cut Picket off, and blocked her from entering the room, saying she could contact the White House Press Office if she had a question. The Press Office has not responded to numerous requests for comment from The Daily Caller.
Emails TheDC obtained and first published on Tuesday show senior White House and Treasury officials were behind the termination of pensions for 20,000 non-union Delphi salaried retirees.
Those emails show that the Treasury Department, led by Secretary Timothy Geithner, was the driving force behind terminating those pensions — a move made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its auto bailout plan. The emails contradict sworn testimony in which several Obama administration figures have consistently said that the decision to terminate the pensions came from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). The PBGC is a federal agency that handles private sector pension benefits issues. Its charter calls for independent representation of pension beneficiaries’ interests.
Co-president if not the de facto president.
We have perjury and cronyism, and I'm sure that one of those non-union employees whose pensions were stolen probably died as a result.
What do you have to say about that, Team Mitty?
Fear and loathing would be a good guess............
We have a tri-presidency of Jarrett, Mooch and Mrs. Robinson. Unless these ‘ladies’ approve, nothing happens.
All 20,000 got cancer and died within weeks of this. It’s Obama’s fault.

The Bishop is focused like a laser beam on making sure welfare recipients work for their 120.00 per week.
Next, The Bishop will endorse Obama for president.
Valerie, you arrogant slut!
I’ve noticed the praetorian guards around Holder also.
Wow, a Moonbat on Facebook actually justified this because they “bet against Obama” by being Non-Union.
Just lookin’ out for the middle class...union workers that is.
This is a subject that apologists of the auto bailout would prefer to avoid, not to mention the investors that got royally screwed.

Obama’s idea of change for the middle class.
Since jarrett’s grandparents were communists, does that make her one too?
Guess we know who is calling the shots in this administration.
The Acorn does not fall far from the tree.
Mittens had better grow a pair..
