Jared Bernstein, chief economist for Vice President Joseph Biden, served in 2008 as an economic adviser to the Obama campaign. At the same time, he was a member of JournoList, the controversial progressive email list.
Bernstein’s bio at Politico, which appears not to have been updated since 2008, states: “He is an economic adviser to the Obama campaign.”
He was known to many for his regular appearances on the financial channel CNBC. His primary employer in 2008 was the Economic Policy Institute, a pro-labor progressive think tank, but according to his bio when appointed to the Obama-Biden Administration, he also was a member of the Panel of Economic Advisers of the Congressional Budget Office.
Reached today at the Office of the Vice President, Bernstein revealed that his position with the Obama campaign was as something called a “surrogate.” “I was not paid by the campaign,” he explained. “They would call me from time to time to represent their positions, that side of the debate.”
Asked when he left JournoList, Bernstein replied, ‘‘I think I left the list around the time I came here.” Bernstein was announced as Chief Economist and Economic Policy Adviser to the Vice President-elect on December 8, 2008.
One question that has arisen in the last week is how closely JournoList members, not only discussed how to shape the news to advance the fortunes of Barack Obama, but coordinated with the Obama campaign. Jared Bernstein’s position as an unpaid adviser and surrogate shows that there was at least one direct link between JournoList and the Obama campaign.

Thanks for the info. 68 truth Seeker
John, you're right on the point! Unfortunately, they are much bigger and more powerful than anyone has even imagined so far. This is real war and their winning! Now, even the President has an executive order for killing us, whatever that lawfully means, I don't know? Must be how to put the black Panthers to work. I assure you, we'll soon know!
YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY,AT LEAST WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THATS STILL AWAKE,THANK GOD AND THANK YOU
Thank you Gloria for your kind words! I just want to caution you, be wary of Religions! The only way to read the bible is true the process of scientific "deduction"(facts) not by Induction(we guess or think, which everybody usually does! Also, only Hebrew is the Inspired Language(Zeph. 3:9) and everything must be proven through the old covenant Hebrew it usually does just that! I learned all this through Gary Miller at: info@icyahweh.org; including the correct yearly calender and crucial Annual Sabbath Feasts Days! I'm almost positive that he is the "Eliyah" that must come before the Two-Witnesses appear! On September 9th, Feast of Trumpets(war)? Watch!
Check this out Vic. < http://www.biblecode.com/whatis.html> Numbers are not subject to interpretation even when the alphabets of both Hebrews and Greeks had a different total amount of letters used for enumeration. The continuity of God is consistent from Genesis through Revelations
Thank you, LocalYokel, but this bible code that you gave me said "an error"(?), but I don't do well with numbers, anyway! I'm thinking from all the other stuff related on that site, it was saying that numbers are not subject to interpretation? If so, that's great for me. Even though I'm left-handed and 85% of left-handed people have a dominant right brain hemisphere in the brain, which is the center for both Math and Art; I can't count after I run out of my fingers and and can't go beyond stick-figures when I try to draw anything! However, I did find out through Gary Miller at his web-site: info@icyahweh.org; that the Bible can "only" be understood through the scientific principle of "deduction" from Genius through Revelation and it works 100% of the time for me following what is written in 2 Peter 1:20(i.e., "no scripture is of private interpretation"). P.S. Plus, Gary is a Physics Instructor by profession and I find that his deductive process not only works for me without error, but make sense! Thanks again though LocalYokel, Vic
VB message 4 u on 7/21. the one with poster boy for islam renewal page. thanks.
Victor it is just more of the same when it comes to Obama. No one should truthfully be surprised at all! I certainly am not!
HOT COUGAR ; I already acknowledged that you are savvy, but most Americans are not! watch!
Don't doubt for one second that Obummer and his band of communist/socialist thugs aren't lining up the civilian security force for commencing the drive to move on "We The People". How many of you know that the Obama HealthCare Law has a provision that funding of $14,000,000 is established for the purpose of recruiting and training 6,000 officers to lead Obama's civilian security force. That amount is established annually to continue the recruiting and training additional officers. We are all in serious trouble.

Loved the video. It was a breath of fresh air. TRUTH!
This imposter is only interested in destroying our country and then decliaring DICTATORSHIP!!!!!!!!!
Carol i have been preaching that forever!
LOCK AND LOAd!!!!!
We just may have to Donna!
We all seem to agree The Kingfish is taking down America,He surrounds himself with the most crooked cabinet in the world.For insurance he hires czar who answer to nobody but him.He doesn't shut the border down so his raghead muslims can come in.His bible is the koran and his political advisors are Saul Olinsky and Bill Ayers.He adds Steadman Holder to control the DOJ.
Edward you are right on all points! But ! No one is doing a damned thing about it ! It may be too late to do anything about it when people finally wake up.
He has been doing this since day one John!
Jared Bernstein adheres to the Journalistic Teachings of Dr. Joseph Goebbels Propaganda Minister of The Third Reich of Hitler's Nazi Germany during WWII.
Famous quote by Dr. Joseh Goebbels…..
" If you tell a lie big enough & keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"
This is so true and so ominous. I wish I could give your posted comment more than one thumb up.
The GOP, like it or not, is complicit in this entire affair. They have kept to their corner and only make feeble attempts at a show of disapproval for clearly Marxist advisers, policies, appointments and legislation. We need to FLUSH washington in November and wipe the bowl clean. There is no room in my house for un American government. Period.
Ruler4You: Tragically, it couldn't be said any better! Even more tragically, this takeover just didn't occur to us just yesterday! I disagree even with Beck! George Washington's name represented one of the limbs or whatever on our 5 pointed star, a sign of the Masons for Lucifer! In act, how does the Bible describe the true "Israel" by the seed of Joseph(Gen.48:16), not Judah, who only got grace(messiah, but not the name? You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out! That can't be good! Watch!
Well said Ruler 4 you !
Gee, is everything a put up job?
The art of the con. Amazing.
BILL,
WHEN IT COMES TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IT PRETTY MUCH IS.
When will Americans learn that progressives are no more than NAZIS and COMMUNISTS that hide behind nice names.
They use the same political tactics as Stalin and Hitler.
If Americans don't wake up and push back, they deserve what they are now getting. Total destruction of the greatest country in the history of the world.
Some truths – BHO's real name is Barry Soetoro (never did a legal name change. George Soros is Hungarian Jew that fingered other Jews to the Nazis – George is not a SLAV.
Tom,
You are right!!!!!!
Yes!!!!! George Soros did anything and everything that he needed to do to survive during WWII. Simply put he would have sent his own Mother to the Nazi Gas Chambers if it meat saving his sorry no good ass! This human being is a dispicable excuse of a human being!!!!!
He left the list. Yeah, sure. And I am an Obama-loving Marxist.
TEX EXPATRIATE,
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY !
Obama is a de facto Islamic terrorist. He is a communist. He hates America and the values and culture we embrace. He is a racist and he is our number one national security threat. He is mentally delusional and afflicted with the same disorder Hitler suffered with…Narcisstic Personality Disorder. He is pure evil. What else can I say?
Oh, he is married to Michelle. Got to give him a break on that one!!!!
Alfred,
I agree with out that you say but Michelle Obama!
She shares his views and in many areas is even more radical!
Alfred, I agree with the HOT COUGAR about Michelle Obama! Remember: EVIL begets only EVIL!
Alfred,
Your assumptions are all ill conceived about Michelle Obama. What she appears to be is not at all in fact what she is. Keep in mind that she was the motivating force behind Barack's attending Rev. Wright's Church in addition to connecting the dots politically for him with such the likes of a Bill Ayers.
Example:
I have a girl friend who is the mother of two adorable daughters & teaches Sunday School as well as Vacation Bible School. If you met her out in the grocery store or simply shopping you would ssume that she is simply a normal mother. She flys out to Nevada periodically on Business to replenish her finances of which few really know what that business exactly is. Simply put she is a Hi Class Call Girl for an Elite Call Girl Agency in Las Vegas, Nevada & as well works for one of the Higher Class Bordello's in Nevada.
Simply what i am saying is stay focused ! For not everything is as you see it.
P.S. Alfred,
Just so that you and every one else knows i do not condone what my girl friend does in Nevada.
Nor do i condem her either!
I live in a glass house as most of us do & we all have things which we have done wrong in our past of which would be embarressing & we do not care for others to know.

LMAO ! I CAN HEAR THE WHITE HOUSE NEWS SPOKESMAN GIBBS NOW ! NO COMMENT ! WE DO NOT HAVE ALL THE FACTS ON THIS MATTER AS OF YET.
Hello,
Now is that cozy r what? The more, and more you hear about this modern day media, and this so-called President, and the lies, and all the deceptions that are coming out, showing up, you place in here the right words. Well it is very clear to me-(SORRY I DO NOT SPEAK FOR NOBODY ELSE)-These people are a bunch of losers because they are more worried about getting all the love they can get from the media, and controlling all of it as much as possible. But then you have Fox, and they are trying every possible way to destroy Fox, but it is not working. POOR O-"DUMMY", and all of his cronies, and all the drones that follow them.
I think Fox has been destroyed. If not they would be all over the most important issue in American history. The fact that the fake president is not constitutionally qualified to be president, (in several different ways). Instead they avoid any mention of Odumbo's obvious inelgibility. It's not possible that they actually believe he is eligible, so…they are either afraid to say anything, or they are willingly a part of the cover-up of the biggest scam in history.
Either way, we are on our own, don't depend on Fox to have a spine any more than you depend on the Republicans.
Bob ,
You are so right !
No longer can we trust Fox as a credible source to stay informed.
Larry,
Sorry !
But Fox has been leaning more and more to the left !
I do not look to Fox for credible reporting either.
