Obama Advisor: "He is bored to death and too talented for ordinary people"

In his biography of Obama, "The Bridge," David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: "I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. ... He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability -- the extraordinary, uncanny ability -- to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. ... So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. ... He's been bored to death his whole life. He's just too talented to do what ordinary people do."

Talk about a "yes man" -- or a devotee woman. The boss is so "extraordinary," so above the "ordinary" man, that he's been long-term bored to death -- untaxed, unhappy, uncanny and unchallenged.

And now unappreciated -- simultaneously called "pathetic" and "tone-deaf," respectively, by the left in The Progressive and the right in The Washington Times.

Turns out that Jarrett's wrong -- there's nothing "extraordinary" about Obama's talent in reading people or understanding economics.

Let's do another Carly song:

I'm so vain

I walked into the party
Like I walking walking onto a yacht
My hat strategically dipped below one eye
My scarf it was apricot
My had one eye in the mirror
As I watched myself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be my partner
They'd be my partner, and

I'm so vain
You probably think this song is about me
I'm so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about me
I do! I do!

I had you several years ago
When you were still quite naive
Well, I said that we made such a pretty pair
And that I would never leave
But I gave away the things you loved
And one of them was life (liberty, and pursuit of happiness)
You had some dreams they were clouds in your coffee
Clouds in your coffee, and

I'm so vain
You probably think this song is about me
I'm so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about me
I do! I do!

You had some dreams they were clouds in your coffee
Clouds in your coffee, and

I'm so vain
You probably think this song is about me
I'm so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about me
I do! I do!

Well, I went up to Massachusetts
And my horse naturally won (oh, wait it lost, dammit!)
Then I flew Air Force One up to New York City
To see the total collapse of WTC 1
Well, I'm where I should be all the time
And when I'm not, I'm with
Some underworld spy or my wife's close friend
my wife's close friend, and

I'm so vain
You probably think this song is about me
I'm so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about me
I do! I do!

And yet - the far left are still enamored with this jerk.

He's just too talented to do what ordinary people do."

I wonder what color the sky is on Valerie Jarrett's world.

Jarrett must have found the rest of the left over Presidential Knee Pads, in the lower right drawer of Zer0’s desk!

Obama Advisor: "He is bored to death and too talented for ordinary people"

Well then. If I am willing to agree, will Obama simply take his way-too-talented ass out of the boring old Oval Office and go back to Chicago to smoke some crack and be gay with Larry Sinclair again?

Because I'll gladly agree with this, if he does that.

Re: Jarrett’s remarks.

0b0z0 could be intellectually challenged by a baby with a wet diaper.

What a gaggle of conceited people. Needs a barf alert.

Sounds like a cult member talking about her stinky guru.

The media has been doing this for years. Every time one of their messiahs flounders they trot out the “Oh they are so much smarter than the average person” prayer mantra to try and cover the flaws. They did it with Clinton and Algore. Same old liberal media same old lies. They have nothing new from their play book to use to cover BO’s obvious failings so they go with “He is so smart that he is just misunderstood” theme hoping that it will catch on.

I’ve always wondered just how one polished a turd. This article shows me just “how”.

[cherry]

this idiot butt kicker is talking about someone who is not only hyperactive....can't stay on task....but also a narcissist....

I bow to no one.....

The delusions this man is under makes Don Quiotex look sane.

I ordinarily have sympathy for the afflicted, and but this guy is a menace which no metaphor I can think of, without prompting a call from the Secret Service, conveys the extent of my concern for this Republic. I think the person most likely to bring down this "Donkey ho tea" is Sancho Pantsuit.

Now go back to Chicago, Valerie.

After the dust from the Issa committee investigations settles,I hope President Boehner grants Blago a pardon conditioned on his telling all about efforts to make Jarret a Senator.

I am starting to understand why Chicago politicians are so gun shy.
