Dem Source: Obama Scolds DNC Chair, 'Don't Forget You Work for Me'
"Rumors have been swirling around that Wasserman Schultz was not in President Obamas top tier of candidates to sit at the helm of the Democratic National Committee.
A source within the Democratic Party who is a close associate of Wasserman Schultz has told the Shark Tank the details about the process that took place when the vetting of prospective candidates for the DNC chair.
The source told the Shark Tank that, she (Wasserman Schultz) was not the first choice, and that Wasserman Schultz feverishly lobbied her case of being a sitting Jewish congresswoman in a very safe Democratic district. According to the source, Obama was pressured into picking Wasserman Schultz because she impressed upon him that he needed her as a loyal foot soldier to run cover him and shore up his dwindling support with the Jewish voters as well as with women.
But while Obama has been able to rely on Wasserman Schultz to carry his water, the President has grown increasingly annoyed with the polarizing manner in which she attacks her political opposition-a style that has galvanized her Republican opponents and chased many of those coveted Independents away."
