Valerie Jarrett Named White House Sr. Advisor

Lisa, what “reports” are you talking about? If you’re talking about those silly IQ test ads on the side of your web page, then I have a REAL hard time believing your IQ is 135 …

By the way Lisa not every thing you read on the side on the internet web page is true.

They BOTH LEFT brain!

If Obama IQ is 124, how did he get in Harvard?

This is the woman who said President-Elect Obeyme would be ready to “take power” and “rule” January 20th. Funny how this isn’t mentioned by this blog. I guess she is ready to advise Obeyme on how to “rule” us. Perhaps with an iron fist?

still so many bitter people here after the election, I see, who are ready to believe the worst about someone simply because they disagree with him and can’t be bothered with the facts, so they make stuff up or read other folks who make stuff up.

An “IQ” (which is not really used in modern intelligence testing) of 124 equates to approximately 2 standard deviation above the average…meaning that a person who does score a 124 on an intelligence test is more intelligent than about 93% of the population. That’s not too shabby…and, I would estimate, based on having given many of these tests, that Obama has a far higher IQ than that.

I wouldn’t brag about her associations in Chicago….. So she worked for Mayor Harold Robinson…. who was sentenced to forty days in Cook County Jail, and paid $1,000 fine, and three years probation for failing to pay Federal taxes for four year……. what did she know about this….?? and I’m sure a lot of stuff can be dug up about the realestate company “The Habitat Company”

just did some quick research on Valerie Jarrett and she is best known for her role as advisor to BO. So how does that make her qualified to be in such a position? What her experience, positions on the constitution, economics, IA, etc…? Can you say same old, same old?

I did not know “Valerie Jarrett was born in 1956 in Shiraz, Iran, about 570 miles south of Tehran.” Did anybody know? Is she a Christian or Muslim?

Ed,
She is African-American and I doubt very seriously if she is Musllim. Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, where her father, Dr. James Bowman, ran a hospital for children as part of a program that sent American doctors and agricultural experts to developing countries to help jump-start their health and farming efforts. At age 5, the family moved to London for one year, then returned to Chicago in 1963. Her father, who is of African American descent, is a pathologist and geneticist. He is currently Professor Emeritus in Pathology and Medicine, University of Chicago. Her great-grandfather was the first African-American to graduate from M.I.T., her grandfather was Robert Taylor the first black man to head the Chicago Housing Authority, and her father, Dr. James Bowman, was the first black resident at St. Luke’s Hospital. Though Ms. Jarrett has never worked in Washington, her great-uncle is Democratic powerbroker Vernon Jordan. Her mother, Barbara T. Bowman, is an African-American early childhood education expert and co-founder of the Erikson Institute for child development. She graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon, a New England boarding school, in 1974. She also received 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.

Good pick for Obama..

Ed says “Valerie Jarrett was chosen as Iranian of day”. So what? Did you read the posts at the link that you provided? They are trying to figure out what she is, just like you are. Iranians, like many white Americans cannot recognize many African Americans when they see them because of preconceived notions of what Blacks should look like. She is an African-American woman, educated in a New England boarding school. I would say that given her family pedigree and education, you need not worry that she is a Muslim seeking to destroy this country.

Another good pick. Jarrett is an intelligent, loyal friend who will continue to advise Obama as she has for years.

Anyone who doesn’t support Obama watch out! Your posted comment will be deleted. The media has BOUGHT this election already. They are still not let us talk? Ridiculous!

President Elect Obama’s IQ is 166-171.

Smart Choice! I like this! :)

In the debates, Hillary Clinton didn’t even know who was the President of the Russia. She talked about landing in combat zones in Bosnia and working on the Northern Ireland peace accords, all lies. She is seen internationally as a fraud, and as a back woods lawyer who does deals, takes bribes and lies. They know her from the countless sleaze deals that came out of the Clinton white house. She would be an insult to the US as secretary of state.
The Secretary of State should be someone of impeccable integrity and decency. Someone who could command respect for their knowledge of geo politics and international relationships. Above all else, a person who is held in high esteem for their wise council and worldly wisdom. Bill Richardson and Valerie Jarrett qualify on merit.
The United States is trying to recover from the debacle of having the imbecile George Bush as head of state, a person who is universally despised around the world as an ogre. Now we are getting the Queen of Sleaze as secretary of state. Certainly Obama can do better.
I voted for change. If Hillary Clinton is secretary of state, I will vote for change again. Maybe McCain wasn’t so bad after all.

Sarah: LMFAO! What a glob of gue. Er… I mean yes, my 5-year-old has an IQ of 166. I know this because after she got done fingerpainting, she learned Latin and corrected a discrepency in Einsteins theory of the photoelectric effect.

Brandon: Obama got into Harvard, great. And yes he’s smart, but there are a lot of smart students. So why him and not another smart kid? Maybe because he’s black? Maybe because of quotas? Affirmative Action? Equal Rights? People being scared of being sued for discrimination? Eh?

I didn’t know his IQ was that low! My kids had IQ tests and they tested much higher than that.

Dorothy660, you made a bad choice for your presidential vote and we will all have to suffer from it for 4 years. BO is not young, if 40% of population is younger than him. And he is not the youngest president ever elected either. Is he gifted? So were thousands of other Harvard graduates, but they were not elected presidents. He is blessed with votes from the fools like you. But we have to suffer from the votes you cast! Hope you can sleep at night. Someone of your intelligence and blind beliefs should not have voted. Period.

Oh are we in trouble..

Wow our sitting president has an IQ of 134, and Obama’s is 124? wow did we trade DOWN AGAIN!

Wow. Those Obamabots claimed that they could sleep at night with their foolish votes to destroy this country. Go ahead continue sleeping. Why not. You have been all your life. Not even a 9/11 can wake you up. What can?

More unsubstantiated claims. Google it folks (fact-checking has never been easier), and you’ll find that his IQ has not even been released and the the number of 124 is taken from an advertisement for one of those goofy online IQ tests. Anything to fuel your hate I suppose. Ah, c’est la vie.

Jarrett is not an Iranian-American even though she was born in Iran. If she was an Iranian-American, she would be in very good company with other prominent members of the American society:
Through surveys of Fortune 500 companies and other major corporations, the researchers identified more than 50 Iranian-Americans in senior leadership positions at companies with more than $200 million in asset value, including General Electric, AT&T, IBM, Verizon, Intel, Cisco, Motorola, Oracle, Nortel Networks, Lucent Technologies, and eBay. Fortune magazine ranks Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of the board of eBay, the wildly popular online auction company, as the second richest American entrepreneur under age 40.
Iranian-Americans are also prominent in academia. According to a preliminary list compiled by ISG, there are more than 500 Iranian-American professors teaching and doing research at top-ranked U.S. universities, including MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, the University of California system (Berkeley, UCLA, etc.), Stanford, the University of Southern California, Georgia Tech, University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Maryland, California Institute of Technology, Boston University, George Washington University, and hundreds of other universities and colleges throughout the United States.
