Author Ed Klein Claims Obama Aide Jarrett Is The ‘Architect’ Of Shutdown Showdown

President Obama’s top adviser Valerie Jarrett was behind a plan to force a showdown with Republicans over ObamaCare as part of a strategy to regain Democratic control of the House next year, claims author Ed Klein.

Klein — who wrote a provocative biography about Obama last year entitled “The Amateur” — said White House insiders refer to Jarrett as “The Night Stalker” because she is the only presidential aide who frequently spends time in the family quarters and dines with the Obamas.

Klein, who is conducting a research for a new Obama tome scheduled for next spring, called Jarrett the “architect” of Obama’s take-no- prisoners approach when it comes to his signature domestic policy initiative.

It was Jarrett who advised Obama that voters would mostly blame Republicans if the federal government ground to a halt, providing a golden opportunity to swing back control of the House to Democrats in the 2014 mid-term elections, according to Klein.

A Democratic House would give Obama an opportunity to pass immigration and other legislation blocked by the current Republican majority.

“It was during one of those nightly sessions that Jarrett devised the no-negotiating strategy that Obama has employed in his fight with the GOP over the government shutdown,” Klein said, citing sources within the administration.

“Valerie came up with the concept late at night, after the kids and grandma and were gone.”

“She convinced the president that a government shutdown and default offered a great opportunity to demonize the Republicans and help the Democrats win back a majority in the House of Representatives in 2014 .

Vader was just misunderstood...

Jarrett is the devil incarnate!!!

Vader was eventually vindicated, Jarrett will never get anything but a buttload of 00 buckshot at the very least...

Good morning lovely lady. I trust you are doing well.

He is also an expert at not being connected personally with anything bad he causes. In fact, as Rush states over and over, he goes out on the campaign trail inveighing against the very problems he, himself, created through bad policies....and promising to fix them.

Exactly.

I think she's been running the show from the beginning. Extremely vindictive and troubled woman.

Bingo pass go collect.....

She is the brains behind the operation and has booted out anyone else who even tried to challenge her like daley,axelrod,rhambo many others.

She is a control freak and decidedly jaded. She has controlled both obamas,its more important to have control over the mooch than the pooch.

IMHO,she call all the shots and sucks our side into letting her control the agenda as well.

This is why we are talking about fiscal cliffs and debt ceilings instead of Benghazi or Egypt. We have traveled down the wrong paths and used lots of vital political capital to gain little.

Leni, dear heart, do you truly think that Odinga is so powerful, so evil, and so omnipotent, that he alone has caused all the damage this nation has endured?

Look at the man. He’s an empty suit. He had to have someone else ghost-write his books, erase his past, and elevate him onto the national stage. Why is that? It’s because he only has the gifts of his skin pigment, and his melifluous voice.

But that’s IT. You’ve heard him every time he speaks without a script or without a teleprompter. There’s a collective “D’oh!” from the sidelines every time he blows his lines. He’s a puppet, a performing monkey; a life-size cardboard cutout with a Boze sound system could do the same job.

Look at the people he’s surrounded by. Jarrett, Axelrod, Rahm, and a host of Leftist czars. Look at the network of life-long Socialists that are in the bureaucracy since the Clinton days, that GWB never purged. And need I mention the Media? We are not up against a supreme being in Odinga; we are facing an ideological movement, foreign to these shores and to our Constitution, who now have the resources of a nation-state at their fingertips.

If ANYONE is a lightning rod, it’s Odinga himself. His innumerable gaffes, protected by the infatuated media, are a one-man kabuki theater designed to deflect attention from the manipulators behind the scene. Read Matt Bracken’s essay, “What I Saw At The Coup”, for greater insight.

Even Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were not the one-man shows that history has painted them as. The great evils (Hitler, Stalin, Lenin) were merely one man; a network of evil had to support them. When you hear the name Adolph Hitler, do you not also think of Himmler, Streicher, Goebbels, and Bormann? Of course you don’t: because those names aren’t memorable, like a rock star or a Kardashian.

The eyes of the nation are on Odinga - and that’s just how the Network wants it to be.

I don't think you are looking a the facts. Ozer0 is a creation of the teleprompter. He is basically stupid with a radio voice.

Take away the voice and the prompter and he wouldn't last the week. there has to be a conniving commie behind the scenes. It is and has always been val/jar.

This reflects what we knew all along, Obama has never had an original thought.
Anybody remember when his Teleprompter writer made a national security decision for him?
I can't remember the specifics but I do remember the news release.

Not Again. You think you get everything in politics??? Look how this whole incident brought out the real Obama, petty and vindictive ... That is great stuff for the next election to tie to anyone running as a RAT.

As long as 'Sequestration' stays in place (yes the DoD is going to take a big hit and deserves too), the Tea party still holds the trump card.

She's Iranian.

I have zero love for ValJar. But, you're wrong.

She was born in Iran of American parents. Her Dad was a doctor.

I believe we see things pretty much the same way.

For the leftist cabal, Hillary is an opportunity. And...a problem.

Is anybody watching or setting up a comments thread for the House hearing (going on now, I believe) about the shutdown of the national parks? Trey Gowdy sent out an FB alert regarding it.
