POTUS never loses his cool, says Jarrett

President Obama's bestie Valerie Jarrett swore on Tuesday that POTUS never loses his cool behind closed doors. "He doesn't, he doesn't," she told moderator Bob Ross at a bullying prevention panel discussion being held in Washington.

Jarrett then shared her personal theory about why this is so. "I think that civility and nature very much come from how he was raised -- having a single mom, seeing her struggle for a period of time, watching his grandmother work at a bank and seeing people leapfrog over her that she had trained. And, now we do tease him because he lives in this home surrounded by women, which I think is a really good thing," she continued.

"So he has his wife and his two wonderful daughters and his mother-in-law, and he jokes, really the only guy in sight is Bo, and Bo is terrific, but not offering him really good advice," she concluded.
