In previewing the President’s State of the Union Address, on Tuesday’s Today show, NBC’s Matt Lauer pushed White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, mostly from the left, as he pressed her to reveal if Obama would “directly address gun control” and asked if Obama’s appointment of business leaders to his team, risked “alienating some more liberal voters…who don’t like big business.”
Appearing in the 7am half hour of this morning’s show, Jarrett was questioned by the Today co-anchor if the President was moved, in the wake of the Tuscon shootings, to join New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s effort to push for “tougher gun laws.”
