Valerie Jarrett, Obama's Rasputin, unwittingly provided us an answer to the question of why the Obama Presidency is such a man-caused disaster.
There are few people who are close to the notoriously insular Barack Obama (a former aide, Neera Tanden, said that "Obama doesn't call anyone, and he's not close to almost anyone. It's stunning that he's in politics, because he really doesn't like people") but Valerie Jarrett is among the select few. They have been friends for decades; she introduced Barack to Michelle; she is a constant presence in the White House, and highly unusual for a White House aide, enjoys her own Secret Service protective detail. And when she described Barack Obama as having been "bored to death his whole life" she helped explained what lies behind a failed presidency.
People familiar with Barack Obama's history realize he has a very low threshold for boredom. This is a trait shared by many millennials: they bore easily, and that character flaw is one reason employers refrain from hiring them. Yet they feel entitled to promotions as a way for others to display gratitude towards them and to give them an ego booster shot. They want to be stimulated and entertained all the time and find work tedious and...boring.
Obama's boredom began early.
When interviewed upon becoming the first black Harvard Law Review President he told the Associated Press, "I'm not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me"; by inference, suburbanites bore him, as well -- and we know how he feels about small-town Americans). Ah...to be jaded and judgmental so early in life and to feel free to spout stereotypes.

The Emporer has no clothes. He knows it. We know it.
Seems like the perfect puppet. Easily manipulated by powerful forces that have his strings.
Well ... I was already bored of him on his first day in office.
This description of Obama does not surprise me in the slightest. I went through a period of feeling bored when I was young but one day I woke up and realized that if I am bored it cannot be anyone’s fault but mine. When the bored blame others for their own boredom madness follows, in my opinion anyway.
He’s out of his depth alright. I’m surprised he ran for a second term.
Someday, it will all come out, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Let’s waterboard her to see if she knows anything.
We already know that Barry knows nothing about anything. His brain was fried some years back.
And most of the American media knew he was a fraud, too.
His Presidential Library is going to be a very boring place to visit.
Rectify? It's damn near killing us!
/bad joke
Drafting his memoirs, right out of law school, feet up on his desk, while the law firm’s senior partners indulged him? Wow! I wonder who could write a check that big?
Yes, but it will be fully staffed and equipped for the intelligence-impaired.
The U.S. Presidency is viewed as beneath him - he feels he’s “slumming it” until something better comes along...
- this is how Dennis Miller & (I believe Jonah Goldberg) characterized the ingrate, last week on the radio. Thought it was perfect. Obama is such a moron: he doesn’t know how absolutely good our country is, nor how lucky he is to hold this job. LOSER!
It is difficult to like someone who does not really like anyone but himself.
Which begs the question, why does anyone like this man? Because they are brain-dead?
His presidential library should be a house of mirrors: Lots of illusion but NOTHING else inside.
I guess we found out.
Well if he’s bored now wait til he serves 10-20 in Leavenworth. :-)
Teen pot use could hurt brain and memory, new research suggests
I haven’t read your article yet, but the head of student health services at UC Berkeley came to that same conclusion in 1963!
Easily manipulated by powerful forces that have his strings.
