National Review: Al Sharpton Was WH Guest 61 Times Since '09

""Since 2009, Sharpton has visited the White House no fewer than 61 times, reports the National Review, citing the White House visitor log, which "illustrates the extraordinary access Sharpton has had to the president and his top advisers."

Sharpton's connection with Obama comes through his contact with top Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett [the "shadow President" - clipper] and her White House public relations office..... During the Ferguson, Missouri, riots, Sharpton was often texting and speaking with Jarrett while she was vacationing with the Obamas on Martha's Vineyard, Politico said.

..... today, his sometimes-colleague the Rev. Jesse Jackson told Politico, "He’s arrived at the level he always wanted to arrive at, which is gratifying. He’s the man who’s the liaison to the White House. He’s the one who’s talking to the Justice Department.” "
