On Valerie Jarrett and Obama's old senate seat...
"Obama and Jarrett seemed to know early on that it would be difficult for her to be placed in a job that required a high level of transparency," says one transition team member. "As a senior White House aide, she will have to disclose a great deal of financial and personal information, but not to the degree that she would for a Senate seat or a Senate-confirmable position. She didn't want that, and Obama didn't want that." Jarrett is credited with hiring Michelle Obama to a high-paying job and drawing the Obamas more closely into the Chicago political machine."
