Blood Feud

Ed Driscoll interviews author Ed Klein;

In addition to his portraits of the Clintons and the Obamas, Klein’s Blood Feud sheds new light on one of the most mysterious members of Barack and Michelle’s inner circle, Valerie Jarrett. As Klein describes Jarrett, she’s the distaff equivalent of Tom Hagen, the dangerous consigliere pulling the strings behind the scenes of The Godfather.

  1. If anyone believes, even for a moment, that Barack Obama actually makes any decisions or is in charge of anything, they deserve the fate that awaits the US. Clint was bang on with the empty chair. BO never made a real decision in his life. He is a DNC shill, the token black (sorta) dude the DNC floated out in 2008 to game the vote. Since BO comes with a default race card (and not much else) he is, and has been, the cardboard president propped up whenever the DNC needed to fly the flag. But then, he can’t even do that. The man is a disgrace as a black, and an even bigger disgrace as a president, and a colossal disgrace as an American. On the world stage, the US doesn’t have until 2016 – it may not even make it through this year.

  2. I don’t think this is a good comparison. Tom Hagen had his own opinions and was a loyal servant of the Godfather. Jarrett is a different kettle of fish. She is a mentor of Obama and by many reports controls everything he does. She is more a Cardinal Richelieu kind of individual. She controls Obama and his court with no accountability.

  3. VJ is the real power behind the curtain… She knows where each and every body is buried, and has the evidence tucked away in a very safe place. NOB
    ODY crosses her and gets away with it.

  4. There’s a critical difference. Just about all serious accounts agree that 1. Richelieu’s sole purposes in office were to strengthen France, particularly against the machinations of its own aristocracy, and 2. that his actions were necessary given the utterly feckless nature of Louis XIII. He was trying to strengthen France against both its internal and external enemies.
    It’s not at all clear that these are VJ’s objectives. Her policies seem to be one of weakening America against both its external and internal enemies.

  5. Valerie is bought and paid for by the big moneyed Jewish cabal, soros, gellen, steyer, Bloomberg et al. Why else would there be so many Jews in Obumbles “inner” circle. Oh wait, I know, all Jews good, all muslims bad, that’s the song and dance we get in here over and over.

  6. Excellent analysis, cgh. Agree wholly.
    “all Jews good, …that’s the song and dance we get in here over and over.

    Your view(all Jews bad), doesn’t make the corollary that all Jews are good true of the rest of us. Fallacious reasoning on your part.

  7. I’m not one for gossip but this tell all has the effect of deflating several bloated sanctimonious gas bags.

  8. Oz, logic is not a strong suit among some commenters at SDA. I agree entirely with the rest of your post. Just goes to show that anti-semitism is not the exclusive property of the left.

  9. It is widely reported that Val Jar is Muslim with close ties to Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. Of course following the old saying ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ brings her into alliance with leftists in America.

  10. Why does everyone talk of BO as a black man – remember, he is half white……

  11. Commenting on Jews and Judaism is a third rail….
    An Israeli associate explained the irony of leftist Jews….
    Circa 1900, in the Pale of Russia, a pogram is underway….2 Jews are placed before a wall and a firing squad assembles. A officer comes up and mockingly asks…”any last requests?” The one fella sez “a last cigarette would be nice.” the Other fella snaps at him “Shutup! Don’t make trouble…”
    Tain’t right, tain’t wrong, just is….
