President Obama’s closest adviser said he’s “more confident” going into his second term and “as energized as I’ve ever seen him about moving our country forward over the next four years.”
Valerie Jarrett told CNN today that she’s been helping Obama pick new people for his inner circle, to combine with cabinet members who are staying on such as Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
“He’s basically said, look, if you’re not in for it, if you’re running out of energy, then you should move on, because he is as energetic as I’ve ever seen him and ready to move forward with the next term. So I don’t think burnout is going to be a problem,” Jarrett said.
She brushed off the lack of diversity in his cabinet, saying he’s “far from finished” constructing his cabinet.
“I spent a lot of time in the Oval Office, and I’m in there with a great number of women who he listens to, and whose counsel and advice he trusts greatly,” she said.
Jarrett said Obama believes that if he spends more time “being out and about and talking directly to the American people,” it actually ends up putting pressure on Republicans in Congress “to do the right thing.”
“So, he’s going to both continue to work with them and seek common ground. And I think you’ll hear a bit of that in his speech tomorrow about how we may not agree on everything, but there have got to be ways that we can come together and solve some of the challenges we have, because he believes in his heart that we have such a great country, we have so much potential,” she said. “And if people would just put their short-term political interests aside and focus on the American people and engage the American people in the process, as he intends to do, then we are still capable of great things, big things.”
The Ivy Starnes of our time…
Obama is MORE energetic and focussed? Noooooooo!!!!
This “ears-of-Obama-opening-for-Valerie-and-her-ilk” problem is no doubt the least publicized, due to….guess what?….political correctness….but is also no doubt the clearest threat to our nation.
The very thought of any mention of the likes of Valerie, Hillary, Janet, and Kathleen in separate decision making positions is very unsettling; but taken together leaning over their various bubbling cauldrons and leering at their audiences with this current, “Yes! I! Can!” attitude of their enabler-in-chief-Obama, is a very un-funny scene.
It’s so very dangerously sad that “diversity” solely for the sake of publicly appearing “diverse”, and adding the faux concept of “affirmative-action” being applied forcefully to further the job prospects to the demonstrably unqualified and to “open more doors” for collegiate admission of these diverse souls despite their low academic credentials…. is a form of government-led interior sabotage. No less.
And, Dear Readers, this situation has been ensconced riding the jubilant shoulders of these same “diversified” and “affirmed” but immature voters…..twice as of today. “Yes! We! Did! It! Again!
Caveat emptor.
Pride cometh before the fall. I for one am glad he’s so pumped up, it’ll make reality hit him twice as hard. Let him go tilting at windmills, hang himself either on the current gun push, or maybe a climate tax, whatever. The point is that he does not have the same one party rubber stamp congress he had for his first 2 years and if he acts like he does he should get ready for a nice big dose of failure. Although the media has managed to keep him personally popular, a lot of his policies remain as unpopular as ever. I think his approval rating has dropped several points just over the recent gun control push, wait until the nastier effects of Obamacare start kicking in and the burning of the middle east picks up speed from his mismanagement of the “arab spring” and he’ll have no chance in hell of forcing through any more grandiose legislation. The Democrats spent themselves in his first two years, that was their only chance for big ticket legislation. At this point they’re reduced to whatever they can weasel in with executive orders and consolidating their unsustainable trajectory of spending. If the Republicans were smart they’d just stand way back and wait for the inevitable comeuppance.
Of course we also need to consider the source of this information. Jarret is an Obama groupie, so of course she’s going to say anything to paint him in the best possible light, paint him as energetic to whip up his supporters and intimidate his opponents. If he’d sat down all tired looking after the coronation, I mean inauguration, and said “You know what Jarret? Fu*k it, I’m just gonna play me some golf this term” then done a hit of choom, do you really think she’d have said anything different to what she said here? I’m perfectly willing to believe he’s all fired up after a nice dose of mass adulation, but when dealing with the likes of Jarrett we must never preclude deliberate misinformation.
Groupie? She is the acting President. Who do you think actually runs things while Obama golfs, campaigns, vacations, and preens for the cameras?
mlk wouldn’t pizz on this bunch of mardi gras clowns. he was all about a color blind society, not one blind, deaf and dumb to everything but color. i call them mardi gras clowns because they remind me of a mardi gras parade. lots of sad masks and throwing free stuff all about to cheering crowds.
i believe these obamabot women like jarrett have a rude awakening coming. muslims have no respect for women, none. haven’t you gals brains enough to figure that one out yet? maybe a mardi gras float for you too, with the theme of ‘useful idiots’.
What else would you expect to hear from Damien`s Nanny!
