Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett hosted a chat session this afternoon on Twitter. Though she was theoretically going to take questions on a variety of topics, she wound up focusing almost exclusively on AIDS prevention and awareness (tomorrow is World AIDS Day). Too bad, because some Twitterers had some great questions for her:
Why does the president refuse to negotiate in good faith over the fiscal cliff? #whchat

Does the president genuinely believe that raising taxes will solve our debt crisis when the math proves that this won't work? #whchat

@vj44 Will you take the oath of office for the presidency in January, since you're pretty much @BarackObama's boss anyway? #whchat

Hello @vj44 Was it fun being a Chicago slumlord? #whchat

Since @vj44's #whchat is only about AIDS today, I'll ask an AIDS-related question: When do we get to the part where Obama AIDS America?

Oddly enough, Jarrett skipped over that. Just as she skipped over questions about Benghazi:
@vj44 #whchat Mrs Jarrett, did you have anything to do with changing the talking points about #Benghazi?

When are we going to get a real answer about Benghazi? Why were we told it was because of a video when you knew otherwise? #whchat

@vj44 #WHChat Matthew Olsen testified Benghazi was a terrorist attack Sept 19th so why did Obama use false talking points to UN on the 25th?

She couldn’t be troubled with such matters. As quickly as the chat began, Jarrett signed off, having dodged any serious questions about accountability:
Where did the time go? Unfortunately, we have to sign off. Thanks for all of the terrific questions!! Prevent, test and treat HIV. #whchat
— Valerie Jarrett (@vj44) November 30, 2012
@vj44 too bad you won't answer all the questions asked on #whchat, I must say, the answers would have been interesting.

Unfortunately, we’ll never know. Hats off to the most transparent administration ever.
