Obama then jarringly quickly returned to his prepared remarks.

Who the Hell is teaching journalism classes in colleges these days? In what cosmos is it acceptable to use back-to-back adverbs in formal writing?

My 8th grade cousin could write a better article.

"Jarringly" was used quite properly in this case as an adverb to modify the adverb "quickly".

This is clearly commonly acceptable grammar.

Now go back to elementary school.
