Obama Advisor: "He is bored to death and too talented for ordinary people"
Pittsburgh Live ^ | November 15, 2010 | Ralph Reiland

Posted on 11/15/2010 6:35:44 PM PST by GlockThe Vote

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.

“People get the government they deserve.” Joseph deMaistre.

And when people become THIS freaking STUPID and inattentive to their freedoms, THIS is the PRESIDENT they deserve.

This needed a barf alert

I barfed reading the title so I guess it all works out in the end.

Obama isn't in a bubble. He is a bubble-head.

>>>Valerie Jarrett is a bigger sycophant than Josef Goebbels was<<<

Bingo!

...which leads me to speculate if Jarrett is working for as dangerous a man as did Goebbels!? The architect of the Third Reich displayed rampant Narcissism. Obama's statements are off the scale.

Negative, reading GW Bush’s “Decision Points” I know that Barry is delusional and in way over his head. Dang, I knew that when I woke up and found out we elected this community organizer.

I’ve been in bunker mode ever since.

Good Gawd... the man is a mental case. He’s failed at everything he’s touched while in office and will continue to do so.

I did get a good laugh over this...

It is the beginning of the end.

He has more than begun the erosion of his legitimacy to govern the consenting--with this kind of shit-ass attitude in his Administration.

I agree with you! That explains why he has repeatedly pushed for greater authority for the UN. Also explains the totally bogus Nobel Peace Prize. The same people behind getting him elected President are grooming him for Secretary General of the UN. Also explains why he does not seem the least bit worried about being elected to another term as President. He’s working on getting his Socialist bona fides in order ... playing to a broader audience than the US public.
