Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said Wednesday that President-elect Donald Trump’s surprise victory on Election Day was “like a punch to the stomach” and “soul-crushing,” but that the mood inside the White House has improved since then.

Jarrett, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and a member of his administration from day one, said he and other White House officials were left somewhat shell-shocked by Trump’s win. But following the president’s lead, she and other administration have sought to follow the lead of former President George W. Bush’s team in facilitating a smooth White House transition to the opposing party.

“She has a soul to crush?”

Who knew?

Honestly, I’m sure it’s a sin, but I am loving every last second of the left’s discomfort with the Trump win. Every. Last. Second.

ValEerie - The Real President!

Hussein does not like Presidenting; hence, ValEerie did all the office stuff. She did the daily Security Brief, not Hussein.

ValEerie -— The Only Senior Staff Member to have Secret Service protection 24/7 ????

What a Gig!

I know people have posted here Moochelle’s look-alike (take your pick from Star Trek or Star Wars) - but I just realized the familiarity I see with ValJar and - what was her name - the Dr in P. Of The A. that liked Mark Wohlberg? or was it with Heston? Anyone have that pick side by side? AkA separate-at-birth?
(and no, I’m not being racist - just that her face and its ugliness from within make me vomit).

Kind of like I felt on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, when NONE of our elected or appointed oath taking officials would protect and defend the Constitution and allowed the Kenyanesian Usurpation to happen.

Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen and was never eligible to be President and they ALL knew it.

This is a feeble attempt to humanize a malevolent harpy.

Hope Team Trump studies carefully the aftermath of the Clinton handoff of the WH to GWB’s staff. They can expect to find lots of sabotage.

I doubt it. The Clinton garbage was sui generis. The parties have been transitioning from one to the other for a long time. There will be hard feelings, personal frustrations, and painful policy reverses, but on both sides, they're mostly adults about it. The Clintons were an exception. I fully expect the Obama people to behave decently.
