First Lady’s New Chief of Staff: Dem Fundraiser & ‘Soros-Friendly Bundler’

Nearing the midpoint of Michelle Obama’s inaugural term, there is a reported shake-up going on amongst the first lady’s senior staff. Obama’s chief of staff, Susan Sher, is reportedly stepping down after having been on the job for just under a year and a half. Before her White House stint, Sher served as Obama‘s superior at the University of Chicago Medical Center and as an attorney for Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s administration.
Stepping into Sher’s shoes is another close confidante of the Obamas: Tina Tchen.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
Among the many moves afoot, Tina Tchen, who is responsible for working with outside groups, is preparing to move to the East Wing to serve as First Lady Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, according to two Democrats close to the White House.
It’s part of a shuffle that gives the White House a chance to consider how it wants to organize itself for the coming two years, when it will face a more hostile, more Republican Congress. Interim Chief of Staff Pete Rouse is studying how to reorganize the place so it is ready for the next stage.
Tchen may be filling a new position, but she is no newcomer to Washington politics. Tchen has been a longtime friend and political ally of the Obamas and is close friends with White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, another Chicago veteran associate of the first couple.
Tchen has led of the White House Office of Public Engagement, an operation overseen by Jarrett which, among other things, fought for Obama’s failed Chicago Olympics bid last year. The office was also implicated for representing the White House in taxpayer-funded efforts to recruit artists and produce projects to advance the Obama agenda.
In addition, conservative author Michelle Malkin has pointed out that Tchen also worked as a “high-powered campaign finance bundler” for the Obama camp in 2009 and “personally raised more than $200,000.”
According to White House visitor logs that have been made public, Tchen has also personally met with infamous liberal financier George Soros. Tchen was just one of a handful of White House senior staff members to have one-on-one meetings with Soros. The billionaire also met privately with director Larry Summers and David Lipton, both of Obama’s White House National Economic Council.
A “Jonathan Soros”, purportedly George Soros’ son Jonathan, also logged a personal White House visit with First Lady Michele Obama in May.

Posted on November 17, 2010 at 6:35amI will be personally happy to see the Obama family out of the White House and they can take Tina Szehen with them. Damn socialists, their the last thing America needs. Its hard to believe HUSSEIN Obama hoodwinked America into voting for him. I wish he and George Soros would be sent on that trip to Mars never to return.

Posted on November 17, 2010 at 4:08amGeorge Soros may think he own this White House and its present day occupants, he probably does own the occupants, but the people of America are about to foreclose on this estate, and throw these tramps out into the street, where they truly belong. They have spent about as much money as every ruler since time began has spent, and they have done it all within the span of two years. America cannot afford another two years of these wastrels, and obviously neither can the rest of the world.
Report Post »Imagine Obama fired the head of GM for blowing GM‘s budget and we’re only talking 40 billion US.
While Obama has already blown the US budget in the $ Trillions and has the FED printing more debt, and yet he gets to keep his job, as a job well done, what a crock, his record is a disaster and worse than any former GM Chairman’s could ever be, So it’s now up to America and the House to fire this pathetic excuse of a President forthwith.

Posted on November 17, 2010 at 7:07amThis is my observation on why ‘they’ look the way ‘they’ do.
‘They’ to the core of their being have no morals, respect for life, respect for themselves. ‘They’ will continue to bang on the pots and pans of the less fortunate, how they the environment all the while their wrapper from their chili cheese dog misses the garbage can as they pass by or better yet as they throw it on the floor of their gas guzzling car! You’d never see them walking, biking, doing their own yard work now would you?
True beauty starts from within. That is why most, if not all, conservative, God-loving women radiate their beauty unlike their counterpart who radiate what starts within them–evil!

I wonder if she comes with a cattle prod or mind altering drugs to make sure Obama follows Spooky Dude’s instructions since he apparently hand-picked her. Who ever would have thought the US would have a puppet president? I bet he hasn’t made one move of his own, in fact he may have an ear piece with a direct line to Spooky Dude, and he gets minute by minute instructions. I wonder what he will do when Soros discards him like yesterday’s news.

Michelle hates America even more than Barack does, if that is possible.
