Likely that Valerie Jarret was included in that group. The senior adviser to the Man-child Candidate/POTUS.
Jarrett is, in fact, the one running the country - what we used to call the presidency. Obama is a shell of a man, other than his deep-held ideological beliefs which coincide with Jarrett’s, his capability is limited to reading a teleprompter and golfing.
America has lost its way electing this poseur to the highest office in the land. Social media has trained a large percentage of us to be idiots.
