Thank You, Valerie Jarrett

Valerie Jarrett ?@vj44 (Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama)
26 years ago, I met the man who would become our @POTUS. Then & now, he has been committed to the fight for a more perfect union. #YesWeCan

From our first day at the @WhiteHouse, @POTUS wakes up every morning thinking of how to make life better for you -- the American people




Valerie Jarrett ?@vj44 4m4 minutes ago
It’s been an incredible 8 years working on behalf of all Americans. Join me today at 3:15pm ET for my last weekly Q&A using #POTUSinReview.



...a sterling example of the values a Senior Adviser to the President should embody. Thank you for your service, Ms. Jarrett.

to black talk radio and getting the administration's agenda & message out on those outlets that don't get heard on regular M$M.

Anyone not familiar with her background should take a gander at it. One thing that I remember vividly was her mother during the 2012 DNC convention at one of MSNBC's morning show bar/restaurant spots. She was dressed to the nines and proud as can be as her daughter participated in one of the segments.

...she is, imo, one of the most unrecognized, but one of the most essential members of the Obama administration. Her loyalty, endurance, and competency has been an inspiration.

During some of the most vicious attacks against President Obama and his administration, she was out there in as many media outlets as possible trying to break through. I know she is one of if not the most trusted of his advisors.
