My Take
Valerie Jarrett earns my straightforward respect. Born in Shiraz, Iran, Stanford-trained, she rose from lawyer to Barack Obama's longest-serving senior advisor and now leads the Obama Foundation. She isn't an entertainer, but the composure required to operate at the center of American power outshines most celebrity glamour. Her path from the Middle East to the highest reaches of Washington is remarkable, and I'm always more fascinated by the sharp minds who steer a nation from behind the scenes than by those out front. There's a Scorpio steadiness running through her whole career that I genuinely find compelling.
