On Meet The Press Sunday (11/9/2008), Valerie Jarrett, former Chicago slum lord, tells Tom Brokaw that 'Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one'.
Jarrett is the closest friend of the Obamas, so she must hear this kind of outrageous talk every day. Too bad it just slips out in public.
MR. BROKAW: What's the working model? Are you going to try to be a shadow government or just a very interested spectator off to the side?
MS. JARRETT: Well, it's a good question. There is one president at a time. President Bush is still the president. He's graciously invited President-elect Obama to the White House tomorrow to begin their conversations of the transition. So we respect that. He will be the president until January 20th. However, giving - given, really, the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that President-elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one.
