Valerie Jarrett, Sr. Advisor to the Obama-Biden White House

Jarrett says she's been a bit nervous to move to Washington because she's always complained about Washington. I'm sure she's not alone on that one.

She says our work begins today and the challenges are daunting. But, if we move ahead together, we can accomplish a lot. She urges us to not talk about all the issues that divide us. Let's talk about the things we have in common.

Her closing question - "Are you fired up?" I think the answer here is a resounding YES!

As Jarrett takes her seat, our MCs led the audience in a chant of "Fired up, and ready to go!" And, guess what, the whole auditorium was on the same beat.
