Thursday is President Obama’s final full day in office, and his top adviser Valerie Jarrett tried to soak up the scene in before it all comes to an end:
Taking my last walk around the grounds. Will be watching from outside the gate after tomorrow as a citizen. pic.twitter.com/U1RymmK34w

National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke had some news for Jarrett:

What did Jarrett think she was these past several years?
She means she's not commander of the Praetorian Guard any more. Has to wait in line like the rest of the peasants. https://t.co/66U6wT5LmF

Ah! Bummer!
In her mind, she was a ruler. Citizen is a term of belittlement to these people.
