President Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden three times before saying yes, because he got cold feet about the possible political harm to himself if the mission failed. Instead of listening to advisors from the U.S. military, Defense, or even State, Obama was acting on the advice of White House politico and close friend Valerie Jarrett. Valerie Jarrett?
This account comes from Richard Miniter's upcoming book Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors who Decide for Him. Miniter has written a half-dozen books on the war on terror. He is relying on an unnamed source within the U.S. military Joint Special Operations Command who was directly involved in the operation and planning of the Osama bin Laden kill mission.
Is the story credible? According to Edward Klein, a reporter once asked Obama if he ran every decision by Jarrett. Obama answered, "Yep. Absolutely." Edward Klein, former foreign editor of Newsweek and editor of the New York Times Magazine for many years, describes Jarrett as "ground zero in the Obama operation, the first couple's friend and consigliere." Klein -- who claims he used a minimum of two sources for each assertion in his book on the Obama presidency, The Amateur -- writes in detail about Jarrett opposing the raid on bin Laden. She told Obama not to take the political risk. Klein thought Obama ignored Jarrett's advice. Miniter tells us he listened to her, three times telling Special Operations not to take the risk to go after bin Laden.
We need to understand the role Valerie Jarrett plays in Obama's private and political life.
"If it wasn't for Valerie Jarrett, there'd be no Barack Obama to complain about," starts Klein's chapter on Jarrett.

That's it.
Back in the old days these types would pretend to look human. After a couple of decades of Hollyweird "normalizing" plastic faces though, the aliens no longer need bother with the disguises.
Well, there was that early pioneer of the natural look, Beldar Conehead. He said he came from France and noone was the wiser.
She knows all of his secrets
Recreating childhood relationships... maybe she'll 'transmit' to Putin ...
Fortunately for Obama, Blago held out for a bigger bribe for appointing Obama’s replacement in the Senate; had Blago accepted Obama’s offer (made through an intermediary, of course) of obtaining several corporate directorships for Mrs. Blago right away and some goodies for Blago himself after he left office in return for his appointment of Jarrett to the Senate, then he wouldn’t have his closest confidante working for him in the White House. And we all know what great advice she’s given Obama.
Her father had a job there, so she was born there. I have a cousin born in Japan, a brother born in Spain, a sister born in Germany. They are all Americans - it was just where their parents were working at the time.
Agreed. Old news, if one knows where to look.
The FACT that these people could not get a security clearance as military or federal employees continues to scare the livin’ hell out of me and makes my guts churn.
That’s what I said, no? We’re looking at a conspiracy perpetrated on the U.S. by the Jihadists. 0bama was OBSESSED with going into Libya.. And without Congressional approval. And his bogus ‘Arab Spring’. That was nothing but a smokescreen for the implementation of Sharia Law and the ultimate destruction of Israel. Sick, perverse Jihadist regime members Jarrett and Abedin leading the way..
And that FOOL James Clapper who said the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t violent or extremist. WTF? Who’s making even the old white guys say this chit?
They have a long familial history.
Her father was an avowed Communist and hung out with Frank Marshal Davis. They worked together as members of the publicity committee of the Citizens Committee to Aid Packing-House Workers in 1948.
She is the closest thing to mommy he has.
Maybe Barry finds himself attracted to her..
..because she looks like a guy?
Aren’t there are Pakistani’s fighting against us in Afghanistan?
“Why is she the most powerful woman in Washington?”
she has a copy of his REAL birth certificate
she KNOWS who his mother and father were
and, most importantly, if somehow, he finally “goes down” under the burden of the illusion, she walks away free
any other questions?!!
I noticed early on that they are both mulattos, and, starting in Chicago, might very well have felt a “kinship” with each other. Obamuzzie has always been short on actual friends and one that looks like him would have been an easy step. One that blows his own commiekrap would have made it even easier. I haven’t heard a word yet about where the Obamuzzie presidential library/one-holer will be located but the files they stash there will be fascinating.
She IS the de facto president. I have never thought otherwise. Conniving commie has been leading the 0bamas by the nose for decades.
Lizard lady.
Very interesting!
