Obama Advisor: "He is bored to death and too talented for ordinary people"

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.

Well, that article didn’t help my upset stomach any (grin).

BTW, I’ll say it (again). I’ve yet to see anything to convince me Obama is the philospher-king he’s made out to be, either in “book smarts” or in his grasp of the intuitive/insight-wisdom. I don’t think the guy’s dumb, just a lot of hat and very little cattle.

The downside [of the self-esteem movement] can be a declining nation that's overstocked with egotistical and incompetent narcissists.

That might be the problem at the White House.

Ya' think??

It's loopy enough that his cult worshipers believe him a "messiah". It's indicative that this man is a grave danger to the Republic that he thinks himself a "messiah" and/or "god-like".

"... 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."

Careful Val... I'm betting Michelle feels threatened by women who fall for her husband's "God-given talents".

Obama has been smoking Bo’s crap. And Valerie Jarret has her head stuck so for up Obama’s backside that she is navel gazing. what do expect from 2 foreign born imbeciles - dumb and dumberer. DC stands Dumbass City. This gets more and more nuttier by the minute. My clients are more sane than these nuts in DC, and many of the clients I have a considered psychos. DC is a psychiatrist and psychologists dream world. I wonder how many of the Obama administration are actually NUTS.

Wow! A Lewinski-Sinclair.

I have seen people placed in positions where they were in so far over their heads that the only way they could cope internally was to be bored. They had no connection with their jobs because they had no idea how to function within that job, thus boredom.

Obama is one of those people.

He has no discernible competencies and gets bored.

[headsonpikes]

“Idiocracy” was evidently a documentary - who knew?

[HardStarboard]

OK Valerie, I’ll buy he’s too smart for the job if it get him out the door and into another line of work any quicker.

Michelle better watch Valerie Jarrett. I think she has the hots for BO.

No kidding... If I was Moochelle, I'd have ALL Valerie's dresses checked for DNA!
