She functions as the eyes, ears, and nose of the president and first lady. She tells them who’s saying what about who, who’s loyal and who’s not. She advises them about who they should see when they visit a city or a foreign country. She determines who gets invited to the White House and who is left out in the cold.....
Despite her lack of... experience and background... she is in many ways the de facto president."

.... So let’s get this straight: Jarrett gets a security detail from the US Secret Service (USSS). That means 24/7 protection, at a cost of millions of dollars a year. Of course, it also means an air of importance for Jarrett--her own taxpayer-funded entourage. The idea that someone such as Jarrett--who officially plays no role in national security or counter-terrorism--would receive USSS protection would be laughable if it weren’t, in fact, real. It’s like a tale out of the Versailles Court of the Sun King--the sort of anecdote that provokes the peasants, eventually, to revolution. But in the meantime, before the deluge, Jarrett plans to live it up; surrounded by agents with guns, she is queen of her own court.
Not only was Valerie Jarrett born in Iran (388 miles from where Ahmadinejad was born just weeks earlier) but no one seems to know or care -- other than Ulsterman, perhaps:
"According to an American Spectator report in August of 2008, the Obama campaign had initiated an aggressive program to hide Jarrett’s Iranian background."
The Spectator article pointed out not only Jarrett's foreign-spent childhood, but also her expertise in Chicago politics and potential ties to "financial entities associated with the subprime mortgage scandal."
And Ed Klein said she had no experience or background? Apparently, she has just the right combination.
