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.

I dare Obama to do a single day in Alaska, OUTSIDE of Air Force One that is.
One day of anything, snowmobiling (snowmachining), ice fishing, or anything during the summer.
But since he is so “elevated” its far to beneath his position to feel what real people do.
Bahahahahahahaha! Valerie Jarrett, you have got to put down that crack pipe girl!!
LOL.. He’s full of something but it ain’t wisdom and insight..
He should resign if he is so bored.
Go read the rest of the article. Its totally nuts, especially what he tells the SEIU guy.
So he'd be better fitted for a stint on Dancing with the Stars or using his teleprompter skills to sing us a commie/marxist/socialist song on American Idol?

That Guy Is A Fountain Of Knowledge, A Real Gusher ....
Valerie Jarrett knows how to get close to Obama and become one of the inner circle of power: flatter him outrageously.
You cannot flatter a malignant narcissist too much. Because he virtually believes that he is god.
"I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. ...
Obama is a total psycho assclown.
The most scary unfit person ever to seize the Presidency.
I think he wants to be world dictator and is setting himself to be head of the UN after leaving office.
We asked the Martians, they sent us back this photo.
Awww, the Sun King is bored with us lowly plebes. Well, he can always quit and leave the country if it so bloody awful to be president of the US.
NO KIDDING! This is vile!
The condensation is overwhelming.
Think how childish and stupid this Valerie Jarrett. And she’s stupid either way you slice it.
If she really thinks Obama is this super-genius, she’s stupid and childish, at the level of a high-school girl mooning over some young male teacher or boy she has a crush on. She’s also a pseudo-intellectual boob who lives in a dream-world if she’s really taken in by a phony like Obama, who is so insecure he needs constant adulation to even function.
If she is realistic, in her heart of hearts, about Obama’s supposed mental powers, then she’s childishly stupid to think she and her fellow Obama-handlers can convince anyone (other than the most brain-dead morons in the population) that her boss is not really an average schlub.
Either way, she’s an embarrassment. A dangerous embarrassment to our country.
