4. OMG she is from Iran
:rofl:


Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman, where her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children as part of
a program where American doctors and agricultural experts sought to help jump-start developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London
for one year, returning to Chicago in 1963.

As a child she spoke Persian and French.<3>

Jarrett graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon, a New England boarding school, in 1974. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University in 1978, and a Juris Doctor
(J.D.) from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981.

In 1983 Jarrett married Dr. William Robert Jarrett, son of famed Chicago Sun-Times reporter Vernon Jarrett. She attributes her switch from a private to a public career to their daughter
Laura's birth and her own desire to do something that would make the daughter proud.<4> Laura is a graduate of Amherst College and a Harvard Law School student

from Wiki once again Obama has talent around him

thanx!

17. I doubt he has time to as White House Chief of Staff
You're literally on call 24/7 with that job. That's why most don't make it past 2 years.

9. I've always been attracted to nerdy types.
So, for me, Gibbs is more appealing. But Rahm is definitely a doll!

6. I cant TELL you how JEALOUS I am of Valerie Jarret at this exact moment.....
.... she got to sit in between Ax and the Gibbanator AND Ax told her something funny WHILE she was watching Barack Obama slay the press on their own ball field.

If you could see me right now, you'd see someone who's LITERALLY green .... PEA GREEN.

11. I'm going to guess the only thing that would make it better
is if Joe Biden was sitting right in front of you, right?

8. Holy shit at Rahm.
It looks like he wants to shoot lasers from his eyes in that last long panoramic picture.

18. David Ax should stop drinking Coke, and bring
a fruit drink, and no cell phone to his boss' meeting.

Oh wait, he's tweeting while his boss is speaking?

I don't quite get why he does these poses.

He should lose 20 pounds, and give up the Coke and the phone for press conferences......just my opinion.

21. I think the act of Davil Axelrod drinking fruit juice....
.... would tear a hole in the universe.

I'm actually a little dissapointed that it's not coffee.

27. LMAO! I love Ax....but he is not the healthiest guy in the world.
Obama and his are complete opposites.
