Valerie Jarrett financial interests? smells fishy to me


Until joining the Obama Administration,Valerie Jarrett was the CEO of The Habitat Company, a real estate development and management company[10] which she joined in 1995. She has been replaced by Mark Segal, a lawyer who joined the company in 2002, as CEO. Daniel E. Levin is the Chairman of Habitat, which was formed in 1971.[11] Jarrett was a member of the board of Chicago Stock Exchange (2000–2007, as Chairman, 2004–2007).
She is also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago Medical Center,[9] Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago and a Trustee of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.[12] Jarrett serves on the board of directors of USG Corporation, a Chicago based building materials corporation.

Jarrett's previous year's income, in a 2009 report, was a $300,000 salary and $550,000 in deferred compensation from The Habitat Executive Services, Inc. The Wall Street Journal also reported she disclosed payments of more than $346,000 for service on boards of directors that reflect her political ties, and work in Chicago real estate and community development. She was paid $76,000 for service as a director of Navigant Consulting, Inc. a Chicago-based global consulting group with governmental clients.
She received $146,600 from USG, and $58,000 to serve on the board of Rreef American REIT II, a real estate investment trust based in San Francisco. The Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., paid her $34,444.[13]

After she left city hall, Jarrett became CEO of Habitat Executive Services, where she earned $300,000 in salary and $550,000 in deferred compensation.

Has anyone ever looked into Valerie Jarrett personal finances ?


Did she really made her $$$ as a slum lord in Chicago neat the University of Chicago campus?

Was she ever vetted for her job as presidential advisor.

I just read today she now has a goverment limo driving her around.

News is David Axelrod also has a new goverment suppied limo. Isn't he running Obama campaign.

Why is the tax payer providing these cars and drivers for Valerie and Axelrod.
