Obama's Strange Dependence on Valerie Jarrtt

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?

Forgive me if this is already posted. I searched but didn't see it. If this article is true, we now know who's pulling Dear Leader's strings.

[Mr. K]

I don’t think he EVER “gave the order”...

After 3 failed attempts Leon Panetta decided to phrase things in such a way that “If they had conditions X,Y,Z should they go ahead?”

Then they just made sure those conditions were met, and went ahead, only telling the boob-in-chief after it was too late to call it off.

This let him sit there comfortable thinking he would blame them if it all went wrong, and taking credit for “giving the order” if it was successful.

In other words, he voted ‘present’

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

We have always known. To question his dependency on VJ is like thinking a marionette needs no puppeteer.

"This account comes from Richard Miniter's upcoming book Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors who Decide for Him. "

Sounds like a worthwhile read!

[Toespi]

Rosemary’s baby.

[mothball]

Why haven’t we ever been shown proof of his death? We saw Sadaam Huseein hung and his two sons who were killed. Why wouldn’t he want this shown?

[Parley Baer]

So would Valerie Jarrett be called the Puppeteer of The United States?

[listenhillary]

He voted “present” the majority of the time as a Illinois Senator. Need anyone say more?

Valerie exhibits lockstepping loyalty to der leader not seen since 1030-40's era Europe.

Jarrett is Obam's " Enforcer". She makes sure Obama is properly adored and
worshipped. If you don't worship Oboba----Valerie's gonna getchou (think IRS).

[pepsionice]

In a way....serving the same purpose as Cheney and Karl Rove. When you have a guy with limited executive skills...someone has to press the right button to get things done.

[353FMG]

How did she ever get to that position?

What is her magic?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Valerie is the White House Zampolit.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Of course, Obozo is so risk aversion that he cannot operate without being told what to do. The man lives for vacations and golf.

Conservatives have routinely expressed suspicion about Valerie Jarrett's role in Obama’s inner circle. The former Chicago lawyer and businesswoman has been a top adviser to the president since his election in 2008.

Her official WH title is "Senior Deputy Advisor" (in Chicagon gangland politics that means "wire transfer artist")

Michele Obama was hired by Jarrett---then an official in the Daley Admin.

Laura Ingraham insightfully said that “all roads lead to Valerie Jarrett," noting Jarrett's involvement in secret dealings w/Iran (where Jarrett was born and raised). She has her tentacles into every issue and every topic..... at least part of her role is to serve as “chief liaison to the business community, state and local governments, and the professional left,” but her influence is undeniable.

Jarrett commands a staff of nearly three dozen, and has a hand in decisions ranging from invitation lists to state dinners and gifts to foreign leaders, to USSC nominees, ambassador appointee, President Medal of Freedom awardees.

When Warren Buffett visits to the White House for lunch, the table is set for three.

[Zathras]

Its not “strange”.
1) Obama gives a speech which contains key words for action.
2) VJ then contacts all her people in OFA, Acorn, SEIU, MediaMatters giving them the marching orders.
3) MediaMatters then fires up the fax machines to MSM.

Now when Obama is asked “Do you know anything about...?” he can deny just about anything.

[BitWielder1]

Karl Rove was often called Bush's Brain, Valerie Jarret is 0bamas Brain, only much more so.

[jetson]

She holds all of the secrets that could bring him down.

[StockJockey]

This is old news and does not surprise regular readers.

What would be more interesting is: Who is pulling Jarrett’s strings?

There is little doubt that Obama is a Manchurian President. We need to follow the money.

[Paine in the Neck]

Obama's got serious Mommy and Daddy issues. VJ is obviously Barry's substitute mother. He's 'imprinted' on her like an orphaned duckling on a dog. In a world where he knows how to do nothing, she gives him a sense of security by telling him, minute by minute, what to do and say and think.

[alloysteel]

In the parlance of the old Soviet Union, Valerie Jarrett is the “handler”, the agent put in place to insure the controlled agent is doing the bidding as it is passed down from higher up.

Now, there is more than enough reason to believe that Valerie Jarrett is acting not on the orders of some puppet master in Moscow, but in some center of power within the Islamic world. Consider the apparent favoritism shown the various facets of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Wahhabist variant form of Islam, a most “pure” and fundamentalist interpretation of the words of the Koran.

Explains a lot in my mind.
