Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

You read the quotes.

But I asked you a simple question. Did you read the stories to which the pull-quotes are linked? There is detailed, factual information in the stories which obviate any need for my "exposition" of Ms Jarrett's biography, persona, or appointed rôle, director, Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, in a "diary".

I resurrected the ET search results in response to this statement.

The actually powerful figures who surround the President, such as Valerie Jarret, are ignored - not surprising that a black woman disappears from view.

I'll not read for you. I'll not package an opinion. That is your responsibility and judgement.

And don't group me with "USians". I click through all the links provided by innerboobz writers including yours.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

I didn't make the comment you reference, and don't know if the authors contention - that there may be sexist/racist implications behind her omission is correct.  I don't read the World Socialist Website.  Perhaps you may wish to scold me for that as well?

I don't think this subthread is going in a productive direction.

as well as the parallel replies to this maybe it's best to argue another day.
