Take it from his adviser: President Barack Obama is officially a “cool guy.” And as senior adviser to the president, Valerie Jarrett should know.
Jarrett welcomed “many great women and a few great men” to the National Partnership for Women and Families luncheon at the Hilton Washington Monday, where she was honored for her work with improving the lives of women. However, most of her short speech was dedicated to one man — the president.
She claimed after growing up with a single mother, marrying a strong woman and having two daughters, Obama knows what he is doing around women. She then told of an encounter Obama had with a woman in Green Bay, Wis. and how he told his officials to remember her concerns when working on health care reform.
“That’s the guy I work for, and he’s a pretty cool guy,” she gushed.
