CAUTION ! YOU MUST remember the ideology behind who we are talking about here. This is NOT a normal presidency prone to changing directions based on public pressure. This IS a radical insurgent presidency committed to advancing a cause REGARDLESS of opinion.
Radical Alinsky-minded liberals, and Alinsky-trained community organizers, have spent years honing the skill of goal advancement AMID ADVERSITY.  Even if their behavior is acceptable to 5% of a collective group – they are able to disconnect themselves from their “id”.
There is actually a psychological training they go through where they learn to override the normal function of the psychological “id”.
In normal people the “id”, which is the unconscious sense of guilt and personality, generates needs of fulfillment from recognition of ‘doing-the-right-thing’.   In normal people if these needs are not satisfied, the result is a state of anxiety or tension.
People like Valerie Jarrett and President Obama have learned from others, and then developed within themselves, a skillset to ignore the part of the psyche which generates normal functions of internal pressure based on principled norms of acceptable behavior.

They are not sociopathic or dysfunctional in the sense they do not know what they are doing, or know right from wrong.  They know very cleverly what they are doing, and have trained themselves and others, to override -or disconnect- their “id”, or traditional gut level pathology.  They hold no desire to do the right thing based on natural acceptances.
They are committed only to do the right thing according to their own framework or view.  Even if that behavior is antithetical to the entire community around them, “US”.  They will keep moving FORWARD.
