In a story titled “The ego factor: Can Barack Obama change?” Politico highlights a passage from David Remnick’s Obama biography, The Bridge. Remnick quotes White House adviser and longtime friend Valerie Jarrett:
I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually.— PETER WEHNER - 11.05.2010 (commentarymagazine.com)
[emphasis added]
Those remarks by Valerie Jarrett are about as close as one gets to an explicit BJ without incurring an NC-17 rating. Be that as it may, however, the most revealing part of her remarks is the one I have emphasized, although that which is revealed was likely not what she intended.
I don't doubt that Barack "has never really been challenged intellectually"; certainly not at Columbia University, nor at Harvard. For how else can one explain those degrees He supposedly "earned".
Just because a Valerie Jarrett raves about Barack's "God-given talents" doesn't mean that He actually has them. I seem to recall that no one has ever seen any evidence that He even attended Columbia University. Neither has there ever been revealed anything tangible He may have produced as President of the Harvard Law Review.
I guess we'll just have to take Valerie's BJ on faith. (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit …)
