“The tug of war between Michelle Obama and Rahm Emanuel for the president’s spiritual or political soul contributed to a White House that was far more disorganized and friction-filled than the public perception holds. Kantor reports that then-White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was often deployed to push back against the first lady, informing her that she couldn’t take a private vacation on a state visit, spend large amounts on White House redecoration, or buy expensive clothes. “
All the reviews I've read portray Obama as weak, scared and whipped. He avoids her, uses others to corral her, is afraid of her wrath.
I hope this book gets a lot of play. It's a damning look at the Wimp.
Guess who won that battle.
