MSNBCs Sharpton Invited to White House to Discuss How to Work with GOP No, Really

Theres obvious and then theres painfully obvious. And in the case of Al Sharpton declaring that Tuesdays resounding defeat for his party was not the fault of an unpopular president nor inept candidates, but of Hillary and Bill Clinton, its painfully obvious where the activist/host/liaison is getting his marching orders are coming from:

Valerie Jarrett.

As hes enjoyed mentioning in the past, Sharpton has a direct line to the White House. Hes visited numerous times, trades daily emails with Ms. Jarrett. So when the Democrats went down in flames three days ago, guess who President Obama met with the next day? Not Mitch McConnell, not John Boehner, not DNC Chairwoman (for now) Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Instead, its was MSNBCs ratings challenged 6:00 p.m. host (along with other civil rights leaders), a White House official had confirmed. On the docketbecause Sharpton is obviously an expert in all of these things was Obamacare implementation, education and criminal justice. Speaking of criminal (in)justice, just what is Tawana Brawley up to these days?

Per the White House communication team: The President also highlighted how we are looking forward to working with the leaders over the next two years to advance these and other crucial issues facing the country.

It appears Sharpton must have been in the bathroom during the whole working-with-other-leaders part, as he proceeded to stage an upside down protest (seen here) of Republicans on his show yesterday.

If youre wondering why the President seems to be getting nothing but bad advice these days with the likes of Plouffe, Axelrod and Gibbs gone, or how this administration has become such a rudderless ship with no port, look no further to the kind of people Mr. Obama is turning to for council in times of need.

For this part, Sharpton uses his national TV platform to attack the Clintons, who wont be trading Christmas cards with Ms. Jarrett anytime in the next century. It all seems so nice and neat in retrospect: Sharpton goes to the White House and leaves with not an interview but instructions instead. Hillary and Bills coattails during this campaign season proved to be quite shortthis is true. And with Hillary already distancing herself via blaming the president for not heeding her advice on ISIS while she was still Secretary of State, any bond between the Obamas/Jarrett and the Clintons is already likely long gone.

Theres obvious and painfully obvious.

Al Sharpton serving as a proxy soldier for the Obama White House is undoubtedly the latter.

Sharpton Chimes in on Nomination of Loretta Lynch as Obamas Choice for AG

*MSNBCs host of Politics Nation and head of the National Action Network, Rev. Al Sharpton has issued a statement on the selection of Loretta Lynch (pictured below) as Attorney General to replace Eric Holder:

The nomination of Loretta Lynch to be the new Attorney General of the United States is applaudable and deserving. She is an excellent and worthy choice to succeed Attorney General Eric Holder in his groundbreaking work for the American people. I have known Ms. Lynch since she was on the team around the Abner Louima case in the late nineties. Though we have not always agreed on cases, I have always seen her operate in the most fair, balanced, and just manner. Americans would be served greatly by her becoming our next Attorney General and the President should be given kudos for such a nomination.

Reverend Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network
