Odd Couple: Co-Conspirator Valerie Jarrett Moves Into Obama’s D.C. House
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-07-17 | Daniel John Sobieski

Politics, it is said, makes curious bedfellows, and the longstanding relationship between presidential adviser and confidante Valerie Jarrett is curious indeed. It had become curiouser and curiouser with the news that Jarrett is moving into Obama’s D.C. home, which is to serve as the nerve center to the resistance to the presidency of Donald Trump. As the Daily Mail reports

Barack Obama is turning his new home in the posh Kalorama section of the nation's capital - just two miles away from the White House - into the nerve center of the mounting insurgency against his successor, President Donald J. Trump.

Obama's goal, according to a close family friend, is to oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.

And Obama is being aided in his political crusade by his longtime consigliere, Valerie Jarrett, who has moved into the 8,200-square-foot, $5.3-million Kaloroma mansion with  the former president and Michelle Obama, long time best friends.

Jarrett played a vital - if at times low-key - role in the Obama presidency. She lived in the White House, dined with the Obamas, and help shape his domestic and foreign policies.

That is a bit of an understatement. Hillary Clinton sought to be first female President of the United States but, had she won, she wouldn’t have been the first female to occupy and control the Oval Office (insert Monica Lewinsky joke here). That honor arguably goes to Valerie Jarrett, fromer Senior Adviser to President Obama.

Jarrett, born in Iran to American parents,  has been with the Obamas since her days as Deputy Chief of Staff in the office of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the elder. She hired Michelle Obama, them Michelle Robinson to fill an opening in the mayor’s office. As Wiikileaks describes the beginning of a long relationship:

In 1991, as deputy chief of staff to Mayor Richard Daley, Jarrett interviewed Michelle Robinson for an opening in the mayor's office, after which she immediately offered Robinson the job.[33] Michelle Robinson asked for time to think and also asked Jarrett to meet Robinson's fiancé, Barack Obama. The three ended up meeting for dinner. After the dinner, Michelle took the job with the mayor's office, and Valerie Jarrett reportedly took the couple under her wing and "introduced them to a wealthier and better-connected Chicago than their own." Jarrett later took Michelle with her when Jarrett left the mayor's office to head Chicago's Department of Planning and Development.
The rest, as they say, is history. Not only did Valerie Jarrett  become a mentor to the young Barack Obama, she soon became what Investor’s Business Daily called Obama’s Rasputin, someone whad more security than our personnel did in Benghazi:
She receives more protection than our Libyan ambassador, calls the president by his first name, dines and vacations with the First Family and had the power to call off three strikes against Osama bin Laden.

Ambassador Chris Stevens did not have a Marine detail in Benghazi, Libya. But White House senior adviser and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett reportedly had a full Secret Service detail on vacation in Martha's Vineyard.

"Jarrett seems to have a 24-hour, around-the-clock detail, with five or six agents full time," Democratic pollster Pat Caddell said in an interview recently with Breitbart news. If Stevens had a similar escort, he'd probably be alive today. Such protection isn't usually available to senior advisers, but Jarrett is no ordinary adviser. …

Indeed she is not. She arguably has more influence over Obama than anyone with the possible exception of Michelle Obama herself. As IBD notes:
Her influence is shown by an account in Richard Miniter's book "Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him."

It relates that at the urging of Jarrett, Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three occasions before finally approving the May 2, 2011, Navy SEAL mission. Seems she was concerned about the possible political harm to Obama if the mission failed.

Miniter writes that the president canceled the kill mission in January 2011, again in February and a third time in March, in each instance at the urging of Jarrett.

Miniter cites a source within the Joint Special Operations Command who had direct knowledge of the operation and its planning.

Edward Klein, author of the best-selling book about Obama, "The Amateur," once asked Obama if he ran every decision by Jarrett, and the president responded, "Absolutely." A former foreign editor of Newsweek and editor of the New York Times Magazine, Klein describes Jarrett as "ground zero in the Obama operation, the first couple's friend and consigliere."…

Her power and influence extends to staffing by the White House to a virtual veto power over foreign policy decisions. Valerie Jarrett undoubtedly had significant input into President Obama’s Munich-like deal with Iran, which kicks the nuclear can down the road to assured detonation over Israel, which Iran continues to threaten to wipe off the map when it is not wishing “death to America”. Her influence over President Obama is legendary:

ValJar is not cut out to be a wartime consigliere. NOT bright enough, and too radical.

I rather doubt Jarret is there waiting to find her own apartment, more likely she has been put there by “outsiders” who continue to call the shots for odumbo. And speaking of “Big Ears”, I have my doubts that the house actually belongs to the odumbos. The woman was put there as the director of all things odumbo will be doing for some time to come UNLESS its breaking rocks in some prison. We should be sooooooooooo lucky to have that happen.

I was shocked after hearing her voice a couple months ago for the first time after wishing bad things on her for 8 years. If you didn’t know who she is and what she’s done, she’s extremely pleasant and engaging. I was expecting a HRC-type screech and hiss.

Hers is coming.

I sense a strange disturbance in the force

It’s as if someone was working on a new reality TV version of “Three’s Company” meets “The Jeffersons”

Jarrett feeds Obama’s Malignant Narcissistic megalomania:

“I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. . . . He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. . . . So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. . . . He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

First woman president. She is absolutely the top...er dog over the obamas. She is Muslim and Iran calls the shots. I have no doubt about this at all. obama has no real experience in running anything except organized riots. He was groomed because he was a light-skin, “articulate” man. Does anyone know of anything positive he ever did for the past 8 years?
He cannot operate without Valery, and she hates America.

Oh, I’m sure she’s just hanging around to offer decorating tips and such.

But seriously, let Trump move Bannon in after his terms are over and see what the left has to say about it.

First of all, every mention of Jarret’s moving in with Obama goes back to the Daily Mail. Don’t know if I believe it or not. That said, one reason for her to move in would be to once again enjoy Secret Service protection which I assume she lost at noon on Jan. 20.

I believe that the Obamas are renting the house from a former Press Secretary. Government work is more rewarding than I would have imagined.

Jarrett: ”[Obama] has been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

This can be read as confirmation that Jarrett has seen Obama’s college transcripts. She explains his abysmal performance by claiming he was too bored to play the grade game.

I pray that somebody loyal to America is listening to every communication and watching every single move these scoundrels make. Please God, let them be caught and prosecuted and STOPPED.
