…In the Obama White House, you have the Oval Office, and you have Jarrett’s office on the second floor. That second floor office has been where the real power has resided. That is no exaggeration. Jarrett has people around the Oval Office who report back to her. Everything. She sets the agenda and that agenda is sent directly to the president, who more often than not, never questions it. And as Jarrett assumed more control over the day to day operations of the West Wing, the president happily backed away. He had little interest in policy. He had even less interest in the work to form that policy. As long as he “looks good” – that’s all that matters to him, right? I know I’m repeating myself a bit here, but I’m getting to it.
....."Daley has support far greater than Valerie Jarrett’s relationship to the Obamas. They need him, and he knows that. And when Bill Daley leaves that White House, it will be on his terms, not theirs....
Nobody has ever challenged her absolute authority in the White House – until Bill Daley."
