Full Title: The slightly disturbing ‘joke’ made by Valerie Jarrett on online privacy in a college commencement speech

During her commencement speech at Pomona College, a leading liberal arts institution located in Claremont, California, President Obama’s senior advisor Valerie Jarrett made remarks about the president’s focus on the so-called “pay gap” between men and women (repeating the dubious claim that women make 77% of what men make), Obamacare and other administration agenda items.

But it was when Jarrett deviated to talking more generally about political service that she let loose a joke that some might find a bit unsettling (though the audience seemed to think nothing of it). (VIDEO)

Idiot jerks smiling and laughing in the background! Grown white men too! There is no acceptable excuse for this kind of behavior. Hang ‘em every one.

Posted it in #4.

She followed it up with how it was funnier than she intended it to be.

Yup, “The Lizard” always tries to strike fear, instead of telling jokes.

Valerie, there are many of us who don’t care what you find out about us.

You are not the arbiter of right and wrong. The Lord Jesus Christ is.

He sees everything.

There is zero subtlety in these people. They are in-your-face fascists.

“Ve have ways of making you talk”

Ghoulish and shameful Freudian slip... How stupid ARE these people?

Does a single one of them have the intellect and maturity to govern their tongues? If your casually and carelessly blather something like THAT voluntarily... what the h&^% would you give away under duress?

If she worked for ME she WOULDN'T work for me!
