Jarrett holds the power in the WH and she does not want to lose it. She said (in response to O's concern, so the story goes, about causing a Chicago traffic jam when landing AF1 during rush hour) 'You might not appreciate your presidential perks, BUT I DO.' She will have O say and do anything, because he is a gutless puppet following her orders, and those of Michelle, and his mother-in-law. As long as O can ride big airplanes and get saluted and applauded and go to parties with the rich and famous kissing his feet, and not have to do any work at all, he will follow their orders.
