One thing about Obama crony Valerie Jarrett:  in the fine tradition of community organizers everywhere, she is about getting things done!

Wondering who is responsible for quality appointments in the Obama Administration such as Van Jones, Mark Lloyd and Cass Sunstein?

Clueless as to why Obama would choose to cancel a meeting with the Dalai Lama, suspending a Presidential tradition since 1991?

Curious as to who is in charge of “cultural nuance” (codespeak for white staffers having to “get an issue” right) in the Obama Administration?

Interested in how restrictions against meeting with lobbyists were relaxed so that civil rights organization directors (registered lobbyists) could meet with officials despite Obama’s Executive Order?

Look no further, it’s Our Gal Val.

Valerie Jarrett heads up the shadow cabinet of Obama advisors, working behind the scenes as an alter-ego to both Barack and Michelle.  Lucky for us, Ben Johnson has been hard at work at Front Page Magazine and David Horowitz’s NewsReal Blog to give us the goods on the web of influence surrounding the Obamas.  That web of influence is spun by Valerie Jarrett.

Think you knew all you need to about the 60′s radicalism that is pervasive in this Administration?  Think again.  Realize that Valerie has a patron herself, in Marilyn Katz.  Marilyn tried to get Rod Blagojevich to seat Valerie in Barack’s Senate seat.  Marilyn doesn’t have any regrets about developing “guerilla nails” for use against police at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.  This would be another “Friend of Bill.”  Ayers, that is.

But let’s get back to Valerie.  Mapping out her relationships is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.  Breathlessly, the New York Times tells us that Valerie is the “ultimate Obama advisor,” yet, strangely, her influence “leaves few fingerprints.”  Hmmm.  Secretive, much?

Michelle Malkin more accurately assesses Valerie: “Jarrett has a gift for rationalizing the increasing gap between what Obama promised and what he’s delivering.” Michelle further points out that “pay for play corruptocrat” Adolfo Carrion (no pun intended; he’s Latino and brought that vote in for Barack) is under Valerie’s oversight at the White House Office for Urban Affairs, in a summary of Obama Czars in the New York Post.  That would make Val some sort of Supernova Czarina, would it not?

Barack says he doesn’t make a single decision without Valerie.  That’s the reason there’s a “Chicago Sensibility” around D.C. these days.

“We shared a common history in that so many of us did have ties back to City Hall [yep, that would be Val and the Mayor, here] and had relationships that grew out of that experience, and we have grown up in a sense together,” Jarrett told me. “And then to come here together, it would have been much harder without each other.”

We’ll just bet it would, Val.
