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.

If Jarret continues to blow that much smoke up Zero’s a$$, his head will explode!
That and just seeing the GREATNESS and BEAUTY of this world!
I’m sure everyone around obama feels this way.
You see, before this startling breakthrough, I thought the former Barry Soetoro, late of Hawaii and points East was the dumbest SOB that ever held the job.
My bad! The man is preternatural. Far beyond my undeveloped and mortal powers to understand. Thank you, Glock, this will be a wonderful Thanksgiving for me and my family at the shelter.
Mr. Soros has promised us a big turkey, and now that I have read your illuminating post of the words of Ms. Jarrett, I know he'll deliver, just like before.
Did you actually read the article? The point of the article is to bring out his flaws.
SeeSac shoots! He scores! People are so po'd at Obama that we, including me, are forgetting the basics.
Finding a complete narcissist, and feeding him compliments is what got her in the White House.
Neither you nor I would even be allowed in the door.
She's smart enough to know what works.
He knows, but others don't. Huh, WTF is that? I'll believe Obama is smart when we see a transcript of his college grades, or maybe a peer-reviewed scholarly publication from his days at Harvard Law. What's that? No can do? Why not? I guess Obama is "too smart" for stuff like that, too.
So she admits that he has royally screwed up. She just has a riduculous excuse as to why he sucks as President.
If he isso smart - why does he keep the SAT , LSAT, and academic transcripts under wraps?

My answer to this headline: screw 0h0m0!
On other thought, we should leave that to Reggie Love!
Just wow. That guy’s lipstick must cover Obama’s entire butt.
Can I get a Nobel Prize for vivisecting a Nobel Prize Winner?
then send ship 'em back to Saudi Arabia / Indonesia!
...or any other Islamic / Sharia-Ruled Country
A Pathetic incompetent.
If he is so smart he should release his sat scores.
“He’s so above us, we’re like ropes on the Good Year Blimp.”
