Its hard to know which is worse: the arrogance of the Obama administration in assuming that its White House staffers can get away with anything, or the apathy of the media in not holding those staffers accountable.
Actually, lets scratch the word apathy and call it what it really is: abjectness. The media have been abject in their willingness, even eagerness, to serve the political interests of this administration and its re-election effort. Lets consider the cases of three staffers, all at the top rung of the White House ladder: Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett (http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/staff/valeriejarrett), Senior Adviser David Plouffe (http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/staff /david-plouffe), and National Security Adviser Tom Donilon (http://www.whitehouse.gov /administration/eop/nsc). Valerie Jarrett has been a mentor and ally of Barack Obama for two decades; by all accounts, she has an unshakable bond not only with him, but also with Michelle Obama. And now her clout is apparent to all: aprofile of Jarrett, written by Jo Becker and appearing in Sundays New York Times, was headlined, The Other Power in the West Wing. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/02/us/politics/valerie-jarrett-is-the-otherpower-in-the-west-wing.html?emc=eta1) As in, theres the President, and theres Valerie Jarrett. The Times story, all 3300 words of it, was one of those stories that everyone in DC thought they had to read; as another Times reporter, Jodi Kantor, tweeted (https://twitter.com /jodikantor) on Sunday, The political world pauses as one to dissect Jo Beckers profile of Valerie Jarrett." Indeed, Beckers story was full of grist for Beltway mills. One anonymous presidential adviser (who sounds a lot like re-election campaign guru David Axelrod) pronounced that

The Audacity of Cronyism: Jarrett, Plouffe, and Donilon

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/08/The-Audacity-of...

Valerie is effectively the chief of staff... Shes almost like Nancy Reagan was with President Reagan, but more powerful. And a former senior White House official (who sounds a lot like ex-White House chief of staff Bill Daley) added, She is the single most influential person in the Obama White House. Whoa. Wait a second. Did the former official really mean to say that Jarrett was the single most influential person in the Obama White House? If so, where does that leave the President? Is it possible that Jarrett, working with Michelle Obama, is more powerful than Mr. Obama? No, that doesnt seem possible--unless, of course, it is possible. If the former senior official quoted above is Bill Daley, he should know about Jarretts vast power. As the Times article recalls, he was basically pushed out of the White House by Jarrett after a battle over the Obamacare contraception mandate (http://dailycaller.com /2012/08/01/obamacare-contraception-mandate-takes-effect/). That mandate infuriated Catholic and conservative groups, but it has been championed by Jarrett inside the White House and by feminist groups across the country--and Jarrett and the feminists have prevailed. So, in assessing Jarretts power, we can include in her coalition the nations feminists as well as Mrs. Obama. And inside todays Democratic Party, thats big power. No wonder the man who currently holds the title of chief of staff is so obscure (http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/staff/jack-lew)--he has learned that you last longer if you keep a low profile. Look, Jarretts defenders might say, theres nothing wrong with being powerful. Somebody has to be powerful. And thats true, but there is something wrong with abusing power. Consider this passage from Beckers Times piece, describing Jarretts ways: She can also be imperious at one event ordering a drink from a four-star general she mistook for a waiterand attached to the trappings of power in a way some in the White House consider unseemly for a member of the staff. Attached to the trappings of power how, exactly? Here comes the answer: A case in point is her full-time Secret Service detail. The White House refuses to disclose the number of agents or their cost, citing security concerns. But the appearance so worried some aides that two were dispatched to urge her to give the detail up. She listened politely, one said, but the agents stayed. So lets 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 counterterrorism--would receive USSS protection would be laughable if it werent, in fact, real. Its 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. In other words, for pure conspicuous consumption, Jarrett puts her fellow Chicagoan, the laughably self-important Desire Rogers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desir %C3%A9e_Rogers), to shame. As an aside, on the issue of who merits government security, we might recall the case of Molly Norris (http://www.seattleweekly.com/2010-09-15/news/on-the-advice-of-thefbi-cartoonist-molly-norris-disappears-from-view/). In 2010, the Seattle-based cartoonist took part in the international Draw Muhammad (http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/04 /may-20-everybody-draw-muhammad-day.html) campaign and, after she receiving death threats, the FBI told her that she was on her own. That is, the US government could not--more precisely, would not--protect her. Instead, Norris was advised to leave her job, change her name, and go into hiding. And thats what she did; what choice did she have? At the time, some of us wondered how Uncle Sam could let the jihadists win a victory such as this inside the United States. Now we know that government security resources were, in fact, spread thin--because Jarrett was being well taken care of. Bottom line: Norris faced real threats and received no protection, while Jarrett faces no threats--at least no threat that 100 other West Wing aides havent also received, and none of them have details--and yet she receives all the insulation from the world that her ego demands.

The Audacity of Cronyism: Jarrett, Plouffe, and Donilon

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/08/The-Audacity-of...

In the wake of the USSS revelation, the press could be asking all sorts of questions: Who made this decision? How much is this costing? Does Jarrett drive her own car--or do those same Secret Service agents chauffeur her around? Most likely, the MSM will not ask any of these questions. Yes, as was said of Beckers Times piece, the political world will stop to read it, but most readers will be reading it with an eye towards power calculations in DC, as opposed to cost calculations for the taxpayers, or any concern about the modesty of public officials. Next we come to David Plouffe, the top politico in the White House, the man charged with working with Axelrod and the Chicago team to harmonize the re-election effort across the public and private sector. But Plouffe is more than just a politico, of course; thanks to his international connections, he is much more. On August 22, I noted (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/08/23/david-plouffe-iran) that The Washington Post had reported (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obamaassociate-got-100000-fee-from-affiliate-of-firm-doing-business-with-iran/2012/08 /05/5e6888a2-dda2-11e1-8e43-4a3c4375504a_print.html) that Plouffe had received a $100,000 speaking fee from a South Africa-based company, MTN, that does extensive business in Iran. As I wrote then: What if, during the gathering-storm decade of the 1930s, a senior White House aide in the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration had been found to have taken big money from a company dealing closely with the Nazis? Would it would have been a huge scandal? Of course it would. Taking money from business partners of the Iranian regime would seem to be a big deal, indeed, and the Posts Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten deserve credit for breaking the story. However, the Post as a whole, as well as the rest of the media, deserves only discredit for letting the story drop there. If Plouffe had worked for, say, the Bush 43 administration, the furor never would have never stopped--including calls to return the money, calls for resignation, calls for a special prosecutor. But since it was the Obama administration, nothing of the kind has happened. The press has been, well, abject. Most flagrantly, just on Sunday, Plouffe was on ABCs This Week with George Stephanopoulos, (http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/) and in the course of a ten-minute interview, Stephanopoulos didnt once bring up the matter of the $100,000. Nor did Stephanopoulos confront Plouffe with a question about the huge Iranian triumph of the previous week, as leaders from 120 nations, gathered in Tehran, unanimously endorsed the Iranian nuclear program (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/01/world /middleeast/iran-criticizes-egypts-mohamed-morsi-over-syria-comments.html). In other words, those 120 countries had completely refuted Obama administration efforts to de-nuclearize Iran through diplomacy. The American Jewish Committee called the endorsement a dark day for humankind, (http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/09 /01/4229204/nam-support-for-iran-nuclear-program.html) but the ABC man had no questions on the topic. Of course Stephanopoulos was easy on Plouffe. After all, Stephanopoulos spent the first 15 years of his career as a liberal Democratic political operative, and then, having made an easy and lucrative transition into the media, he has spent the last 15 years denying that theres any liberal Democratic bias in the media--and he was at it again just on Sunday (http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/09/01/Stephanopoulos-Doesnt-BelieveThere-Is-Bias-In-The-Media). Stephanopoulos asked plenty of questions, even some hard ones on the campaign horserace, but he also tossed in plenty of softballs, such as a question about the Clint Eastwood skit in Tampa. But nothing that would fluster Plouffe. Indeed, the headline atop Stephanopoulos story on the ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/david-plouffe-romney-campaign-builton-tripod-of-lies/) blog delivered the bacon for the Democrats: David Plouffe: Romney Campaign Built on Tripod of Lies. No mention of any defect in Obama, let alone Plouffe--just straight Obama talking points. We all remember the Sherlock Holmes story (http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccernew2?id=DoyBlaz.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&

The Audacity of Cronyism: Jarrett, Plouffe, and Donilon

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/08/The-Audacity-of...

tag=public&part=1&division=div1) about the dog that didnt bark; well, this was Stephanopoulos not only not barking, but also himself being a lapdog for the Obamans. Finally, theres Tom Donilon, the Presidents National Security Adviser. As I first declared in June (http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/06/10/Exclusive-Caddell-NamesTom-Donilon-As-Source-For-Leaks), Donilon is surely responsible for many of the leaks coming out of the White House, all of which seemed to advance the cause of making Obama look like a tough Commander-in-Chief. These were leaks that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California and chair of the Intelligence Committee described as (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/06 /06/interview_with_senator_dianne_feinstein_114413.html) very, very disturbing. She added, Its dismayed our allies. It puts American lives in jeopardy. It puts our nations security in jeopardy. And what has been the White House response? How have the Obamans reacted to accusations that they have put our national security in jeopardy for partisan gain? Attorney General Eric Holder did the following: he appointed two underlings as in-house investigators. This non-dynamic duo can can be relied upon to a) wait on releasing their findings after the November election, and then b) not find anything anyway. Meanwhile, stupefyingly, the White House has deployed none other than David Axelrod to be part of the rapid-response team; even though he is not part of the national security council, or even part of the government, he has been making the rounds on TV, (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/07/27/White-House-LeaksWhat-Does-Axelrod-Know-and-How-Does-He-Know-It) doling out the White House spin. Understandably, Donilon himself has kept a low profile since the leaks and their blowback. Yes, he is a longtime Democratic political operative with no real national security credentials. Yes, former Defense Secretary Bob Gates warned that Donilon would be a disaster (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/10/08/130430124/woodwardgates-thinks-donilon-a-disaster) if were ever to become national security adviser. But Donilon had reason to think that he would be okay if he just hunkered down. Yet now, from out of his own sordid past, new revelations arise to haunt him. Thanks to Andrew Stiles at The Washington Free Beacon, we now know that Donilon has been receiving a $148,000-a-year pension from Fannie Mae (http://freebeacon.com/donilondouble-dips/). Indeed, its hard to know where to begin on this one. After working in all those Democratic campaigns, Donilon found his inside-the-beltway reward--a cushy lobbying job at Fannie Mae, the place where all hacks went to get rich, even as Fannie made the country poor. The Fannie bailout has, in fact, cost taxpayers more than $154 billion through 2010 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10 /21/AR2010102101941.html), and the company is still, today, losing billions every quarter (http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveschaefer/2012/02/29/the-bank-bailoutsugly-stepsister-fannie-mae-still-losing-billions/). And now Donilon, 57, having earned millions as a Fannie Mae lobbyist, is currently collecting his pension, even as he works full time at the White House, for a salary of $172,000 a year. Is that how things are supposed to work? Can such rapacious doubledipping possibly be squared with the ideal of public service? As one senator put it, Most taxpayers are struggling to make ends meet. Yet, Mr. Donilon is still profiting from his work during the Fannie Mae buildup of the housing bubble that led to a recession and massive taxpayer bailouts." Those who might wish more detail on Fannie Mae might consult Gretchen Morgensons 2011 book, Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon (http://www.amazon.com/Reckless-Endangerment-OutsizedCorruption-Armageddon/dp/0805091203); in those pages one will find all the information needed to know about Donilon and all the other wolves of Washington. And yet the MSM arent interested--and thus the Beacons Donilon revelation sank without a trace, leaving the leaker-in-chief still on the job. So there we have it: Jarrett as Our Lady of the Secret Service, Plouffe as the Man Who

Owes the Ayatollahs a Favor, and Donilon as The Double-Dipper Who Traded Away Our Secrets for a Re-Election. If the media wished it, each one of them could have a scandalous gate attached to their name, as in Jarrett-gate, Plouffe-gate, and Donilon-gate." Indeed, were any reporters to take these stories seriously, they would also find that they had struck a resonant chord with the American people. According to pollster Scott Rasmussen, 64 percent of Americans say that government ethics and corruption are very important (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics /mood_of_america/importance_of_issues); thats a number second only to the economy and healthcare, and ahead of taxes, education, and Social Security. And Gallup polling finds reaches the same conclusion. In other words, serious journalistic digging would likely yield up not only scoops, but also clicks. But instead, nothing. The dominant media see nothing, hear nothing, and say nothing. And the same holds true, we might note for the so-called reform" outfits. Why arent Common Cause, the Center for Public Integrity, CREW, and Pro Publica all over these stories, applying their own considerable resources to the unearthing of the truth? Its too easy to say that this deliberate overlooking of scandals is purely partisan. In fact, sometimes Democrats have gotten rough treatment. During the Carter administration, the 39th president was tormented by reporters chasing down everyone and everything, from Bert Lance (http://ourgeorgiahistory.com/ogh/Bert_Lance) to the mythical killer rabbit. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy /carter2.htm) And during the Clinton years, the 42nd president was investigated for, well, just about everything; yes, the media liked Clinton, but the media also liked attacking him. But Obama is different. Reverence, plus political correctness--plus, perhaps, fear of giving Tea Party-ized Republicans any sort of victory--means that a protective pall has encased the Obama Administration. That protectiveness means, as we have seen, not only the non-curiosity about Jarrett, Plouffe, and Donilon, but also non-curiosity about other stories. For example, in the energy sector alone, the MSM offers perfunctory coverage of the Solyndra bankruptcy, and then moves on. And reports about dubious dealings at Exelon (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/23/us/politics/ties-to-obama-aided-in-accessfor-exelon-corporation.html?pagewanted=all) are a one-day wonder. And when Peter Schweizer asserts that as much as 80 percent of the government investments for green energy went to Obama donors and bundlers, (http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek /2011/11/13/how-obama-s-alternative-energy-programs-became-green-graft.html) well, that story is ignored--no reporter wishes to connect the dots. Such a supine media are Obamas biggest advantage in this election, and they could spell the difference for him this November. So how to sum up these scandals that dont scandalize? We could call label them all as the Audacity of Corruption, but the word audacity implies a certain measure of risk-taking. And as we have seen, Jarrett, Plouffe, and Donilon seem to be taking no risk at all.

What a freaken cesspool. America has been dumbed down so bad by our education system and and betrayed so badly by the MSM we are literally at the point of no return. If Obama's re-elected in November - you can kiss this country goodbye. 100 years from now - historians will write that the terminal illness of the US began began in the 1960's, was put into remission by Reagan, but was killed quickly by Barack Hussein Obama - early in the 21st century. Only argument will be whether the murder was intentional or accidental due to incompetence. I bet on the former.

It is astonishing the level of corruption in this Adminisration. It is also unsettling the level of intellectual curiosity absent in the press. Connect the dots, no MSM investigation of "their team", no intellectual curiosity by the average John Q. Citizen, equals acceptance of corruption by laziness. And laziness is the hallmark of liberal constituency, and so we get this criminally corrupt political machine. Our side, in an effort to be fair and balanced (read: PC) we install insufferable liberals into intelligent media and pollute the truth. We are the salmon, trying to swim up Niagra Falls. An insurmountable task. And not too unlike the salmon, we don't give up, but continue on to get a little teensy bit of facts into the light. I ask: When will we ever arrest and prosecute any of the corrupt high ranking pols? Rhetorical, I presume. Sad in actuality.

She's also the one who said of Van Jones, the newly appointed "green jobs" czar, that "we've had our eye on him for a long time." That was just before his self-avowed communist identity was made known. Jones left the government on a Saturday night several months or weeks after Obama appointed him. So here's a question for the libtards here: since Valerie Jarrett knew so much about Van Jones, how is it she didn't know he was a communist ... by his own admission? The answer of course, is that she DID know, and that's exactly why she saw to it that Obama handed him that green jobs czar job.

the truth about the White House and the goings on within the Social Activist WH will not be devulged until this man is out of office. Then look out, the juicy stories of the hypocritical liberals will spill forth. Let's all sit back and wait for the election results. But if the election doesn't go well coming up to that eventful evening. The "rats" will be bailing out of the WH faster than a 100m Olympic final. And from what I'm reading and hearing, excluding the BS liberal MSM polling bunk. Obama does not have a winning situation like last election. From the looks of radio call-in shows, Obama will be lucky to have any Democrat elected except a few Big L Democrat city locations. So, there will be a lot of tongues wagging once the gravy train ends. And liberals love their gravy. And once a good liberal loses their preferred free lunch with gravy. There is not a mouth in liberal land quiet enough to voice their displeasures in not sucking up that free lunch.

Read carefully what I am about to say, because Obama tried to tell the world on Thursday that he had not been up to the task of running the country and neither were the advisors he chose to help him with the job. While Im proud of what weve achieved together, Obama told the assembled in Charlotte, Im far more mindful of my own failings, knowing exactly what Lincoln meant when he said, I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go. He left out the second line of Lincoln's quote. I suppose he hoped someone would figure it out. I think he was admitting failure and apologizing for it. The Daily Beast researched and found the full quote, but did not grasp the full import of what Obama was trying to tell us. Here is the full quote: I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day. He was overwhelmed by the responsibilities of the Office and neither he nor any of his advisors, including Jarrett, was up to the task. I think that is what he was trying to tell us, and I think he still feels that none of them is up to the job. He is locked in with Jarrett, his other Chicago thugs and the socialists down through the ranks and he knows what they are capable of. He cannot get rid of them if he wanted, and I think he wants to. I think he wants to lose the election before they totally destroy the country.

Do you think those delusional Commies have one iota of guilt for what they've done to the people of this great country? Not to mention what they've done in turning their backs on Israel and all the others they've stepped on in their hoax of the millennium. How bout the poor Doctor who helped in the capture of Bin Laden who is now in a Pakistani jail for the rest of his life because the WH just threw him to the wolves (sorry wolves) after they were finished with him?

I would not vote for Obama if he was the only one running. I'm saying that HE, Obama himself, would not for Obama if he was the only one running. He is so full of himself it disgusts me. I think he resents the fact that he allowed Jarrett to take over, but if it hadn't been her, it would have been somebody, because Chicago got him in and Chicago is running the White House and he is a wimp and even if he wanted, he can't get rid of them. He was elected president in name only and since realizing that, I don't think he wants it anymore. It goes against his narcissistic personality. He is as ingrained in Marxism as any of them and as guilty of treason as any of them. I am an American veteran and I despise everything about the lot of them. You have no idea. Which brings up another point. I saw several vets at Obama's convention. What is that about? How could any veteran support that man? ALSO, Jarrett is the controller, the one who keeps him in line, the one who keeps this clinically depressed, cocaine-head, pot smoking president from wandering off the farm. Anyone ever ask what she carries in that little black bag? Yes, someone did. And poor Kam's dead now. Anyone else want to ask? Thought not.

Among those choices, there should be no question which is worse: apathetic (and/or biased) journalists and media. In this same group consider also any self-serving Press that have been suborned by the very government leaders and "the system" the Press have historically been tasked to over-see. The Press and "mainstream" media are failing us. There forever will be political leaders...corrupt, arrogant, and even malevolent that lead us away from personal freedoms...away from the vision set down in the US Constitution by leaders: a collection of laws LIMITING the government, that led to our nation being strong, successful, and a desirable political and economic destination for people from virtually all cultures. We need the constant oversight by untainted, unfettered, vigilant, aggressive, and courageous Press...that serve the people regardless of election results.

I wish the internet could fill the gap vacated by "mainstream" media, but even here our own leaders continue in devising and implementing means to suppress speech and unbiased reportage. ISPs and website owners are constantly "nudged" and in the wings are proposed regulations, legislation, and Executive Orders capable of providing near instantaneous total government "emergency" control of internet access and content.

She introduced him to Michele and together they steered him into politics. A family lends legitimacy to a president. He is highly intellegent, filled with hate for our way of life, and weilds power in the same way as Marx, ruthlessly. Read Obama's America to see him unmasked.

From a credible DHS Insider :The objective, or the agenda, is much bigger than I think anyone can comprehend, stated my source. Its global in nature, and it involves other governments, communist governments, he added. Its evil in its simplicity. Its to destroy our country from within and take away our ability to fight whats coming. Its to change our way of life, and hes got the people in place to do it, at least for the most part. And forget about the Republicans versus the Democrats, because nearly all of them are all playing for the same team. Both sides have helped to get us to this point. Theyve allowed Communists to enter every government institution inside the beltway, and just about everyone let it happen, helped it happen or watched it happen....... Fast and Furious is huge and leads right to the White House and State, but according to my sources, wont be an issue because the politicians in charge of the investigations have been compromised and threatened. Napolitano knows everything about Fast and Furious and is working with Holder to impede the investigations. Shes using her political clout. But damage control had taken time and a toll, added my source." http://www.canadafreepress.com...

I just read the article; Narcissism of Barack Obama, making the case for the Cult of personality Obama and the democrats have created. It describes Obama's character of a "Dear Leader" of North Korea, China, and Cuba instead of a President of The United States. The person Valerie Jarret molded from her own self image has very little substance, and very unhealthy ego. In contrast the RNC wasn't about Romney or Ryan. No massive posters or need to mention the candidates. "He is a man in life who is singularly devoid of accomplishments. In fact, he is a man of mystery, whose life history has been made a closely guarded secret, protected by the media who acts more like a palace guard than journalists". by Welshtaff

I don't agree because women tell Barry what to do and how to do it. They have his whole life. It's part of his make-up since his mommy, the commie, controlled him until he was 10. Then she abandoned him with her parents and Frank Marshall Davis who probably molested him. Is it any wonder so many rumors about Obama's sexuality? He's down-low as they say in da hood. The two men who knew for sure were both murdered in 2007. Both were members of that church for freaks in Chicago. By the way, Charlie Crist, our former Governor who is now a Democrat, is gay. He married a woman from up north to use as a beard. (His disguise). He and the Obum have a lot in common. Christ knows that we all know now, so he's gone to the only party that will have him and other freaks, the demon Dems.
