Valerie Jarrett is known as the other side of Barack Obama's brain. Can this tough-minded adviser, who is guided by aphorisms and gut instinct, help him reach the White House?
Say you're Sen. Barack Obama, the hottest politician on the planet. You fill up stadiums like the Beatles. You're JFK-smooth, scary smart and, for a skinny middle-aged Ivy Leaguer who quit smoking not that long ago, your basketball game isn't half-bad.
No African-American politician has soared this close to the sun. Everyone sings your praises, from Hollywood starlets to rappers on YouTube. One excitable cable TV host even admitted on the air that when he hears you give a speech a thrill runs up his leg.

The author is throwing his panties at Barack Obama. What a sorry excuse for a journalist.
To: calex59
Is it seriously required to post a barf alert when Obama is in the title? Have you not figured it out by now?

Scary smart?! Paleeeese! How about "Inarticulate (away from the teleprompter), inexperienced, and unaccomplished." I think I'm closer to the truth.

Jarrett goes back with the couple nearly 20 years. She is the big sister in Obama's Hyde Park-Kenwood extended family of friends: a clan of doctors, lawyers and business men and women who have nurtured him personally and politically for years. Funny they left out the crazy uncle who was Obama's spiritual mentor for 20 years! I wonder if this piece was written to assuage Hillary voters? Obama's closest adviser is a woman?

The press tells all the sheeple that this guy is something.
The sheeple ow and aw, because the press is always right.
Unfortunately, this guy is a joke but, go read THE EMPEROR’s NEW CLOTHES again. If he’s elected, we’re in trouble, serious trouble.

IMO, this was well beyond barf alert material. This is total propaganda for the masses. Heaps and Heaps of it!

IF McCain and the RNC had any smarts they would label Obama a Chicago politican and use stories about failed Chicago programs - like the ones this woman is cleaning up (?) to show that what Obama wants to do for the country is what has been done to Chicago - NO Guns, poor schools, top down leadership, corrupt programs for insiders and HIGH taxes.

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be?
You have the power to Obama-tize me
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do, do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
From my toes clear up to my knee
