Video of her speech

Valerie Jarrett: 'America Stands Ready to Lead Again'

"In the 21st century our security is shared," says Valerie Jarrett, top adviser to President Barack Obama.

She outlines steps the new administration is taking to establish peace in the Middle East, eradicate global poverty, and fight climate change.

The Obama message disappoints at Davos

*snip*

".......her short speech disappointed a number of participants for its sweeping rhetoric and lack of specificity.

“Terribly boring,” said one European CEO, who compared her remarks to a “U.S. campaign speech”. Added another executive: “I’m trying to think of a single thing in there that I didn’t already know.” Jarrett’s rhetoric was especially unsatisfying for those who had listened to the assertive and more detail-oriented comments of Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and Russia’s Vladimir Putin a day earlier.

One issue, perhaps, is that global leaders are already acutely aware of both Obama’s message and his background. And yet Jarrett spent much of her time talking about Chicago and quoting from Obama’s Inaugural Address. We did learn that Obama met Wednesday with companies such as IBM, Xerox, Citibank and Google. But what they talked about, other than broad support for a recovery plan, was left unsaid.

MUST SEE: insightful video interview with the great Shelby Steel about BH0

Shelby Steele On President Obama

Steele:

"He was a cultural candidate."

"The prototypical bargainer ..."

"We still don't know the man."

"It's going to be difficult, once he's actually governing the country and having to make decisions every single day, he is going to reveal himself .... but that's the first time we're going to really know who Barack Obama is."

Sounds familiar somehow.

Miz ValGal the BHO’s gal pal was gave an elementary presentation and was roundly and warmly ignored as a neophyte as she used BHO’s old campaigne rhetoric. I think when a person goes to DAVOS they just might want to be prepared a tad more and so far if there was room for a comment from Hitlery there’s been none published.

I don’t think it’s a matter of him & his minions believing - these are the willing participants INCLUDING Valerie Jarrett to bring about the financial collapse of the US. She’s there in deep water she never tred before, too. You know a couple of days ago before DAVOS was scheduled to begin it was somehwere on the i-net news that Jarrett was on a field trip. The MSM DID NOT STATE she was going there.

She then winds up feeding backwash campaign rhetoric in a speech @DAVOS. Those boys weren’t pleased

And yet Jarrett spent much of her time talking about Chicago . . .

Wow. There's a source of pride.
