Valerie Jarrett at Harvard on health care:
If the president could do it unilaterally, he would have
done it a long time ago, I can assure you of that.
Vallerie Jarrett, political advisor and friend of Obama:
“There’s nobody more self critical than Obama. Part of the burden of being so bright, is that he sees his error immediately.The President’s staff and the President have been actively involved in working with the House and with the Senate, in trying to get healthcare reform delivered. But ultimately, the parties and the people who deliver on the bill are Congress.If the president could do it unilaterally, he would have done it a long time ago, I can assure you of that.”
