"Cut through the noise" can sound hard in days like these, but culture is living and breathing and therefore susceptible to growth and change.

I have always been fascinated by Valorie Jarrett, and the amount of power and influence she had in the Obama Admin.

@ Yohannis Abrahm . ." Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God." Psalm 68:31 "And This Too Shall Pass" 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18.. . . Don't you ever never forget it!

I don't live in the states, wasn't there when Mr Obama ran for president and had I been there I would've voted for him and if he ran today I'd vote for him so yes, I'm an Obama supporter.

That said, what that first gentleman to ask a question said it's the feeling of many ppl around the USA and around the world.

Yes, it sounded like the discordant note in between a praising concert about Mr Obama's presidency, in which everyrhing was beautiful but that gentleman as shocking as it may have sounded to some, speaks for many ppl and when the lady answered in that prepotent and arrogant manner,
("I'm just helping you with the pronunciation of it") she looked and sounded even less educated than what she tried to make him look.
She tried to make him look bad but she sounded even worse than him.

Fact is, How is she credible? In 2015, Judicial Watch shared that "FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show." And She was B.O.'s senior advisor?

I'm a morning person. I love Obama but I don't like non morning people. The morning is beautiful. It's a new beginning! 😆

Valerie Jarrett needs to come clean about President Obama … The American People have a right to know EVERYTHING … and WE WILL !!

Your sarcastic remarks against this graceful lady is such a disgrace. This sort of behaviour is
coming from trump. Shame on you.

She just made a rude remark to someone with a speech impediment. Go to 37:
