WASHINGTON--Bloomberg's Julianna Goldman reports on Valerie Jarrett's role as friend and top advisor to President Obama and First Lady Michelle.

Goldman writes, "Jarrett, who calls Obama "Mr. President" in the offices of the West Wing and "Barack" in the privacy of the East Wing, came from Chicago with a portfolio of power as personal as it is political. That may give her more clout with the first family than any other White House aide."
