Just what is a consigliere (plural: consiglieri)?  From the Latin “counselor,” a consigliere is the position within the Mafia that advises the Boss.  (Remember The Godfather, Don Vito Corleone’s consigliere was the adopted son, played by Robert Duvall.)  Consiglieri exert tremendous influence.  There were several notable advisors to rulers who rose to dominate their nation’s policies.  The consiglieri almost certainly have their own interests in mind when dispensing advice.

Indeed, Valerie Jarrett, who first introduced Barack to Michelle, and whom Obama considers “family” and “trust[s] completely,” has historical parallels.  Let’s take a look at two infamous historical figures and show the parallel to Jarrett’s position within today’s administration.
