Hey Val- You're Next

Senior White House Advisor Valerie Jarrett is undoubtedly a woman of power and influence.

Barack Obama has in-fact said that he makes no decision without her, as noted by Michelle Malkin. But like recently departed "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones, Jarrett is also a far-left subversive radical who's completely obsessed with racial issues... and was never properly vetted by the MSM, let alone anybody in the White House. And this woman was Van Jones' recruiter, biggest supporter, and cheerleader. She was also a cog in the corrupt and ruthless Chicago Machine, basically racketeering with the likes of (now disowned) Obama allies Blago and Tony Rezko... and of course the Dear Leader himself back-in-the-days.

Born in Iran to expat American parents, Valerie Jarrett's father was a doctor long associated with far-left causes and racial-identity politics... and who served on a union board with Obama mentor and racist-communist Frank Marshall Davis. Jarrett's mother still serves on a board with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers' father and wife- she herself unrepetant WU terrorista Bernardine Dohrn.

Involved deeply with Jarrett was scumbag-supreme Tony Rezko, a now-convicted felon and Obama’s (and Blago's...) friend/fundraiser/political Godfather... you know, the guy that helped Barack and Michelle get that nice South Side mansion they couldn't quite swing on their own (with helpful real-estate agent Patti Blagojevich, no less)

Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, linked Jarrett to a series of shameful real-estate scandals, including projects operated by Rezko and Allison Davis (former boss of Obama). Housing projects developed and/or operated by Davis and Rezko have been manifestly substandard and beset with code violations.

Basically, Obama helped get them public funding for projects purported to be "for the poor"- while these charlatans spent as little as possible building and maintaining them- and Jarrett "managed" and looked the other way for $300K/yr in salary... plus $850K of "deferred income" -according to her own report.

As CEO of The Habitat Company, she was notably responsible for the controversial housing project located in Obama’s district Grove Parc Plaza, which according to the Boston Globe was considered “uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale ... a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

Jarrett was given a pass by the MSM over the past year, with only the most superficial vetting. Completely ignored and therefore unknown to most are the shady business dealings and radical allies like Marylin Katz: Jarrett's biggest promoter, '68 Days-of-Rage veteran... and Weather Underground founding member. But Jarrett's radical associations and lucrative-yet-ethically-challenged "management" career have now drawn the unwelcome attention of the resurgent Right... fresh-off their exposure/victory over embittered commie nutter Van Jones.

A far less opaque picture of Jarrett's web of dubious associations is offered-up by Muckety.com -here-

The American Spectator states that in speeches before far-left groups over the past five months, Jarrett touted Jones's hiring, in part, because the groups ... were familiar with Jones's brand of anti-Americanism and economic radicalism.

As Jarrett had said to the Netroots Nation conference just a little over a month ago, re. Van Jones:

“We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him…for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that, and we have all that energy in the White House.” -video here-

It was also Jarrett's brainstorm to establish a Chief Diversity Officer at the FCC, a position created, then filled with Alinskyite radical Mark Lloyd- with a stealth mandate for muzzling talk radio, where obviously some of Obama's most fervent -and effective- critics dwell.

Is Valerie Jarrett next of Obama's revolutionary command to go?  Riehl World View is starting to see the possibility -here-

FrontPageMag did a truly comprehensive expose/summary on Jarrett -here-

And as Jill Stanek wrote:

Scott Baker of Breitbart TV's The B-Cast was on during Glenn's final segment, connecting the dots between POTUS advisor Valerie Jarrett and Obama's past, including his grandparents, his mother, and Franklin Davis Marshall who played an influential role in his life.

This is stuff you can't make up.

... She is Obama's brain. She's also Michelle's brain too.

Perhaps the only thing keeping heat off Jarrett for now is the dramatic and ongoing implosion of longtime Obama ally ACORN, which Moonbattery brings us up to date on -here-

The Confederate Yankee is tracking what Glenn Beck is training his artillery upon next. It also looks to him like ACORN first, then....? -here-

Obama would likely put up a real fight over this one... seems like he'd be lost without her. But if Jarrett's not next to go, she sure ought to be -like Jones, her and the Trotskyite agenda need to be shown the door ASAP... seriously, there's just not many people in this country looking for what she's peddling.

With that tumor removed, there's still a chance Obama can be forcibly-moderated. While not altogether likely, Obama would perhaps then see it as in his interest to take a more centrist path in the name of political survival -ala Clinton '96- limiting the amount of incremental damage he can do to the country prior to November 2010's "correction".

"Racist" Attacks on Obama's Family a Liberal Fraud

As reported in the Gawker -hardly a bastion of conservatism- the supposed "hate speech" targeted upon Obama's family last week on the Free Republic blog's comments section is precisely the fraud that many of us sensed from the start. While the comments were indeed appalling, it turns-out it was a liberal journalist who posted them. For anyone familiar with the tactics of the Alinskyite left and David Plouffe's DNC-funded internet squad, the whole thing stank like trash-truck juice from the start:

We should've seen this coming: conservative blog Free Republic fired hate speech off at Malia Obama after this photo of her appeared, letting their commenters go to town. But the journalist who reported this as news isn't innocent, either.

Chris Parry of The Vancouver Sun highlighted some of the comments on the mainstream, hard right-wing blog/news aggregator Free Republic. Among them, a picture of Michelle talking to Malia Obama with the caption: "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds." Classy. These mouthbreathing, borderline morons then kept piled on:

"A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion. "Could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there?" wrote one commenter.

"They make me sick .... The whole family... mammy, pappy, the free loadin' mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin', and especially 'lil cuz... This is not the America I want representin' my peeps," wrote another. Such was the onslaught of derision on the site that the person who originally complained about the slurs, a Kristin N., claims only one comment in the first hundred posted actually criticized the remarks as inappropriate.

Free Republic claims to be a site that "does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government." Yet, the thread went down, and back up with the original comments in tact, and then some, notes Chris Parry, the story's writer...

It gets worse, though. Chris Parry, it appears, has advocated on his Daily Kos blog any number of egregious offenses, among them: posting hate speech on sites like Free Republic and blaming it on conservatives.

Parry posted under the name "hollywoodoz" on Daily Kos, where his signature was "Fool me once, I'll punch you in the f___ing head." Parry outed himself as hollywoodoz here, where he discloses the company he helped start. In essence: Parry, the journalist, found his story right where he'd been circling it for a very long time, and reported it as news. Sigh....

Sadly, similar efforts from the Democrats have been with us for some time, and in various forms. During the Clinton impeachment scandal, a then-new leftist group out of California called MoveOn.org employed a plan to get its members to dial into right-leaning talk radio shows such as Rush Limbaugh with scripted talking points falsely claiming that they were Republicans. They then feigned revulsion and said they "would never vote for the GOP again if the case against Bill Clinton was pursued." The same MoveOn.org is, of course, today in the vanguard of the web's leftist-activists.

And one might also question how the narcissist Obama didn't blink an eye in using his 10-yr old daughter for a political prop, dressing her up in a hippy peace shirt the day after he signed his misguided deal with the Kremlin.

Talk about playing the race card- good grief. Such cynical abuse of controversial racial issues is sure to backfire on the left, while doing America no good at all... just as Affirmative Action will be set back decades by the way the left guilt-tripped so many into voting for Barack Obama in the first place.

What's becoming more clear by the day too is that Obama and his allies are anything but a uniting force in this country... a shameful wasted opportunity.

Shameless Opportunist Obama Mangles Jack Kemp's Legacy

President Obama said in a statement regarding the passing of Jack Kemp that he remembers the NFL quarterback-turned-politician as someone who held strong beliefs and who learned valuable lessons on the football field.  Obama went-on to say, incredibly, that Kemp "understood that divisions involving race and class stood in the way of the country's common goals".

I don't know about you, but I sure don't recall Jack Kemp talking much about these things very often- nor framing his views in racial terms as Obama so often does.  Kemp was among the most ambitious promoters of free-market capitalism and trickle-down economic theory in the 80s,  along with Ronald Reagan and Art Laffer... and he was interested in introducing such ideas to those who some other conservatives wouldn't bother trying to convince... such as urban poor.  Kemp felt that an opportunity society was best for all, including in the inner-city where voters were used by politicians and had their hope and ambition squelched by the addictive dependency spawned by welfare provisions of liberal Great Society programs introduced in the 60s.  


Kemp's reaching out to the urban poor was to introduce his conservative-opportunity agenda to a new audience... and nothing like Obama's entitlement-based race-baiting.  But that didn't stop the President from twisting facts to make it appear that this true conservative was far more "reasonable" and moderate than today's "right wing" GOP.   Pure propaganda to divide Republicans... and built on a complete distortion of what Kemp stood for.  Is there any circumstance where this President would find it inappropriate to play the race card?   After this spectacle, it's hard to imagine one... nor any event that doesn't somehow relate to how Barack is here to save us all.  Johnny Cochran would be proud of him though, no doubt (must have watched the trial).  But for the rest of us to have to listen to such calculating and divisive  drivel at a moment like this- it's appalling.

Jack Kemp was a sincere and truthful genuine patriot who stood for proven, pragmatic economic solutions and an opportunity society based on personal freedom and initiative.  The truth is that Kemp's values and beliefs had precious little in common with the far-left agenda Obama's trying to foist upon us today.  And when you break all your promises, lie habitually, refuse to answer legitimate questions, and flip-flop like a beached flounder... who gave you the right to comment or interpret Jack Kemp's legacy, Mr President... and in a way that conveniently serves your own political purposes?  

Of course, Obama left out most of what else Jack Kemp stood for, too... like that liberal economic policies of taxing and spending stand in the way of the nation's prosperity. And perhaps the President noticed that Kemp, like most Republicans, looked at Americans as Americans--- and not members of a racial or class group to be exploited for political gain by pitting them against each other.

Anyone who's ever heard him speak can tell you that the centerpiece of Kemp's platform was a flat income tax... a far cry from Obama's soak-the-rich tax hikes and redistributionist/anti-free-market/big government blitzkreig.  Jack Kemp was a supply-side economics advocate, and unabashed capitalist... period.  Of course, Obama didn't mention any of this... his own manufactured reality (that he wishes to download into your noggin) is far more useful to him than the truth... per usual.

Obama could care less about Jack Kemp's legacy... actually, he despises every policy that was dear to him.  The serial-opportunist Obama should be ashamed of himself for twisting Kemp's words... but of course, he's not.  Narcissists are often callous... even ruthless.  He'll sleep fine, as he likely thinks this kind of stuff is real clever and slick... maybe even share a chuckle or two over it with head partisan-weasel Emanuel.  

Kemp was a great man and a proud American who respected and clearly loved what made this country the most successful in history... not a vengeful Marxist out to turn it all upside-down while presenting himself as a some sort of savior from America's "mistakes of the past".  

Based on his record and words, Kemp would have been strongly opposed to almost the entire Obama agenda- the spending, centralization of power, race/class rabble rousing, and statist-socialist fantasy world he'd like to bring to us all.  Obama has no business twisting Kemp's memory to hector the GOP and legitimize his strange, angry, race-based "issues"... but he did it anyway.

Shame on you, Barack Obama-

And God Bless You, Jack- we're going to miss the real you.
