Shadow President, Valerie Jarrett, personally called the talk show host to invite her to the White House to employ her services for the upcoming full-court health care push, but O said, “no.”

“All of Oprah’s top people thought she would go, because when the president invites you to the White House, most people automatically say yes,” said one of Oprah’s closest advisers. “But Oprah said she didn’t have the time or inclination to go. It wasn’t like she had to think it over. It was an immediate, flat-out, unequivocal no.”
The NY Post is reporting, Oprah instead sent a low-level rep from one of her talent agencies, which was regarded by Jarrett as a insult. It seems Obama had been counting on Oprah’s immense persuasive powers to help enroll millions in ObamaCare. But as the rollout turned into a disaster, but Oprah won’t lift a finger to help.
