“A Chicago native and longtime friend and aide to Barack Obama is being named chief of staff to Valerie Jarrett...
“Like Obama, Strautmanis grew up an African-American child in a predominantly white world, connected to the immigrant experience through his father and admitted early to the corridors of privilege through financial aid at a prestigious local prep school.
In Strautmanis' case that was the Uptown neighborhood on Chicago's North Side, where he and his mother moved from the South Side after she married a Latvian immigrant. The school was the Jesuit-run St. Ignatius College Prep, one of Chicago's power Catholic schools.”
Damn,

I was offered a job, but I didn't get past the first page of the application. Something about a "cheerleader incident" in my background.

I wouldn't want to be Obama's bather. Between him, me and his ego the tub would be very crowded.
