Valarie Jarrett seeks donations for Obama Presidential Center amid birthday bash controversy
Fox News
Valerie Jarrett, the former senior adviser to President Obama, faced mockery online Tuesday after appealing to her Twitter followers to cut a $6 or $60 check for the Obama Presidential Center in honor of the 44th president's birthday.
A similar tweet would often go unnoticed, especially since Jarrett is the president of the Obama Foundation. But given that the former president is reportedly planning a birthday party critics say would make Jay Gatsby blush – 475 guests, 200 staffers all squeezed together on his $11.75 million estate sprawling over 29 idyllic acres of Martha's Vineyard -- the tweet was seen by some as tone-deaf. "IDK what’s more craven here, Obama’s staggering post-presidential net worth or the fact Valerie Jarrett is making a fundraising appeal for her "dear friend" when she’s actually the current president of the Obama Foundation," Zoe Samudzi, a writer, tweeted.
