Politico – by Nick GassValerie Jarrett says she plans on staying in the White House until the end of President Barack Obama’s term.
In an interview with The New York Times Magazine published Friday, the president’s senior adviser discussed politics and policy and made clear that she wants to stick around until Jan. 20, 2017.
“Oh, my goodness, I intend to stay until the lights go off,” Jarrett said. “Why would I miss a single second of this?”
Asked whether she ever gets surprised at people describing her influence over Obama in terms similar to those used to describe Vice President Dick Cheney’s in the Bush administration, Jarrett demurred.
“Please don’t say that. Stop right there,” she told the magazine. “The president listens to people who have interesting things to say — that could be the most junior person on the staff or it could be a senior adviser or it could be a person who whispers something to him across a rope line.”
She also rejected media criticism of the president’s few personal relationships with Republicans, saying members of the party weren’t interested in golfing or bowling or schmoozing.
“They just wanted to say no,” Jarrett remarked.
Jarrett, one of the president’s top confidantes over the years, addressed concerns raised by David Axelrod in his latest book that Rahm Emanuel was not pleased with her relationship with the Obama family.
“In a town where access is so important, initially it probably made people a little uncomfortable,” she said. “I think that has faded. I just want to do my job, and part of my job for the president is to be his friend.”
we need to knock some lights out.
