Jarrett is an American black born in Iran to emigre parents. Her father was an expat physician who fled the Jim Crow strictures in the U.S. This explains why she and Barry O. are simpatico.
I particularly like Spengler's conclusion, which deftly equates hating America with vampirism.
Today’s Iran is not the fairyland of Valerie Jarrett’s childhood recollection, but a fey, fading remnant of a flawed empire, a case study in cultural necrosis. One can understand, and even empathize, with the emotional impulses that drive Obama’s camarilla. But there is no haggling with this current in American politics. One has to put a stake through its heart.If, like me, you aren't familiar with the term "camarilla," it is defined as an informal group of advisors, what other presidents have called their "kitchen cabinet."
