Gee, Another Payoff
- President Barack Obama's former top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett has been appointed to the board of directors of Chicago-based Ariel Investments. Jarrett was the longest-serving senior adviser to Obama, and Ariel founder and chairman John W. Rogers Jr. is a longtime friend of Obama's. Former Obama administration Secretary of Education Arne Duncan also was appointed to the Ariel board after leaving his position. Jarrett's father, Dr. James Bowman, was one of the original members of the Ariel board of directors. Prior to becoming an adviser to Obama, Jarrett had been the chief executive officer of The Habitat Co. of Chicago, which develops and manages market-rate and affordable multifamily....
The link continues to the Tribune pay site, so use the regular tricks to get around it if you need to read it. You probably don't have to - it's just another story about how the crooked and connected play with our lives and retirements while collecting a percentage for making bad trades/investments and further bankrupting our futures.

Valerie Jarrett looks like a cartoon character.
And do not forget she also receives a 35k pension for being on the CHA Board. How she had time to attend the meetings is amazing considering what all is on her plate. Oh wait that is for suckers.
Rogers proud member of the DL pick up Barry basket ball team soon to be the ex husband of IPR's Farley expect a whole lot more ex obamy dirt bags sucking the life vout of the city since the uranium Queen lost her bid to thieve the whole world.
Anything that ValJar is connected with has to be on the up and up. //Sarc
Ariel is an option for your deferred comp investments. When I learned that the CEO was a friend of Obama I transferred my funds away from that company.
Make your voices heard. Go to your Deferred Comp and abandon the Ariel Fund....or do nothing. Your choice.
Wasn't Dr. Bowman, a Communist who felt it was better to raise Valerie in Iran rather than the USA? No wonder she is a pro-Communist, Anti-American, pro-Muslim, Arab lover.
Ever notice these pols always wind up with "scam" jobs after they leave office? â™
John Rogers the son of famous Juvie court Judge John Rogers.
Looking at the bios of their board of director some trends emerge:
"...Formerly, she [not Val] served as president of Governors State University.." - that bastion of financial responsibility
"he served as chief administrative officer and senior advisor to the CEO of the Chicago Public Schools." - how are their finances again?
"recently, he joined the Barack Obama Foundation’s Board of Directors." - hmmm, well that did okay, though the $60M book advance helped too
"Arnie Duncan" - interesting
"Valerie Jared" - because her boss did so well running the economy and keeping the peace
Sounds like a Chicago mutual back scratching circle.
We have fake royalty in this country. These people always have a "soft landing" in life. Well, except blago....
No doubt that Valarie Jarrett is going to run for Mayor in the next election. It will come down to her and Dart. Take your pick folks it going to happen.
Isn't she the one that had CPD as security for her kids wedding? Free, of course.....
Isn't she the one that got in on "the ground floor" as one of the Rosemont Casino owners?
Sure must be nice to be a Democrat in Chicago.....just saying......
The uranium queen. I like that. A whole story about Clinton funny business totally ignored. I think once the Soviet Union collapsed (thank you Reagan) a lot of our politicians were making deals with those people who emerged retaining power. The press will not care about democrats like they care about Trumps cronies but their is more than smoke from that fire.
Before any of us knew about Ariel, Mike Shields was talking about this when he was running for the pension board in '08. He tried to fire Ariel in January 2009, but the city hacks on the pension fund, retiree Ken Hauser included, resisted.
Mayor Daley had another nephew that worked for Ariel named Peter Thompson.
Ah yes, Iranian born Valerie. One of obama's main handlers.
Ariel finally got fired by Mike Shields in 2012.
To Anonymous. One of Ms. Jarrett's grandparents was Robert R. Taylor. Yes, "that" Robert Taylor. The irony is he fought tooth and nail against high rise, concentration camps. It was a disgrace to his memory that King Richard I named that project after him. That investment firm is worth about $5 billion. So you might want to put your money back there.
Angelo says "Trump has cops back." Hum...where have I heard something like that before? Oh now I remember, "The mayor has my back." - McCarthy. Remember this, no politician has your back. The one place you don't want a politician is behind you, you're just asking to be screwed.

Another big payday for doing nothing the typical democratic criminal way!
And what will Ken Hauser and Mike Lappe do about the pension funds invested with Ariel??? Time to vote these clowns out of office!!
Is she still getting secret service. She always flew into Midway and was milking the government with secret service protection who were being utilized as her servants. When asked why she needed protection was told cause the president says so, yet they are now yelling about our great president Trump using service for his wife that he is entitled to.
Another payoff? Better title poco joe loco Joe collected the tax and the tax will be monthly:

Absolutely on point about Sharon Fairley being the ex wife of John Rogers from Ariel Capital Management. That has been a money losing fund for as long as I could remember.
Fairley was hired at IPRA following an undistinguished stint at the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Inspector General's Office.
I'm told Rahm hired her as a favor to Rogers and Obama. Despite being a multimillionaire by way of a divorce settlement, she wanted a high profile position to feel validated. Which is why Rahm is retaining her as head of COPA.
I wonder if "campaign contributions" has anything to do with her being employed at three high powered positions, two with the city. Hmmm
I wonder if campaign contributions to the aldermen had anything to do with the support they've shown her. Hmmm again.
Now that I know about Rogers and Ariel Capital Management, I will be directing Deferred Compensation to divest any money I have in that fund. I don't want to be supporting Fairley or Obama directly or indirectly.
After looking closely at this slum Lord bitch, I am fully convinced that there really ARE Reptilian Aliens, and she is one of them. Gort, Klatuu, Barada, Nicto!!!!!!
It's time to divest from Ariel. Much like Columbia U in N. Y. used divestment to end apartheid. Divestment was a "weapon" in the battle against apartheid. Val Jarrett was an undergrad at the radical Columbia, the same university that indoctrates it students in the radical Cloward Piven evonomic theories. Jarrett was a member of the board at the U of C hospital. The same hospital that paid Michele O' Bama $300,000.00 a year to do something. Of the same university that unemployed a radical constitutional professor.
Every place they go they command top dollar or enormous amounts of cash money for their power and influence while everyday Americans struggle to make ends meet. This crew knows how to use government power to their advantage in order to leverage business and government/non profit institutions to achieve that so evil 1% elite social status. As they amass enormous wealth they ironically join the ranks of the uber wealthy they so adamantly vilify in daily political rhetoric.
Valerie Jerkette assisted Iran in building the bomb. Trump should jail the spy.

I wonder how much money our pension funds are losing not being able to invest in companies that boycott Israel?
"...our great President Trump..."
You sir are a visionary.
