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.

Valerie Jarrett is a bigger sycophant than Josef Goebbels was. Which is an absolutely extraordinary thing to say.
I’m glad to see Obama is smart enough to realize that you just have to spend your way out of a recession. He is also smart enough to show us all the merits of socialism.
LOL! The Left views a cocaine-addled slacker as their intellectual superior.
...maybe they are right.
Very Interesting. I see all Washington politicians as beholden to big money and way too smart for us average Americans, who are just trying to survive in an economy that pits elitists and cronies that get handed it all, against average schmucks such as myself and zillions of other sheeple.
“...Send him to Mars ... “
LOL, Yeppers - I’d like to see him live off the land!
How many hours was Obama delayed at that gate?
The frightening thing is he believes his own legend and so does many around him. This is hitleresk.
My God, she looks almost...well, simian.
He is a telepromter puppet take it away and you got keystone obama
Which brings on a new “song of the moment”

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Here we have, arguably, the worst President in the history of the United States and one of his senior White Hut advisors feels he has “never really been challenged intellectually”? She must have seen the transcripts, etc. that we the ruled class aren’t privy to. I REALLY hate being so crass on FR but those are some serious knee pads she’s wearing. I wonder if she really believes it or just expects us to.
When these people say “intelligent” they mean to say, he agrees with me.
I remember the endless articles referring to Al Gore’s enormous, out-sized intellect. When, seriously, he was one of the dumbest men anywhere outside of journalism.
The fact that no one in journalism noticed just how landslide-inducingly dumb Gore was, told us more about the caliber of people in the journalism business than it ever did about Big Al.
“My God, she looks almost...well, simian.”
Ha, is that you Cornelius?
I am no expert in the Gospel but, I think the "Feed my sheep" mission statement means Christians have plenty of work to do.
Just had to ping you. I think you’ve been “one upped”, and not by satire... :)>
