Wasserman Schultz Reportedly Wanted to Paint Obama as 'Anti-Woman,' 'Anti-Semitic' If Ousted
[MEDIAITE] Buried inside a Politico report about Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...
's (D-FL) future aspirations was an interesting revelation: "When [Wasserman Schultz] sensed Obama was considering replacing her as chair in 2013, she began to line up supporters to suggest the move was both anti-woman and anti-Semitic."

Wasserman Schultz is reportedly very much at odds with White House staffers, and rarely even speaks with President Barack Obama
teachable moment...
.

The report mainly focuses on Wasserman Schultz's political future, and whether she should stay on as DNC chair through the 2016 campaign, co-chair a likely Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Richelieu ...
presidential campaign, or even run for Senate in 2016. A position in House leadership is unlikely for her, as the report notes, because Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
(D-CA) and the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer
... Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is...
(D-MD) are unlikely to leave any time soon. Her current term as DNC chair ends at the beginning of 2017.

#4  "When [Wasserman Schultz] sensed Obama was considering replacing her as chair in 2013, she began to line up supporters to suggest the move was both anti-woman and anti-Semitic."

With these people, it always has to be that someone is anti-woman, anti-Semitic, racist, anti-Muslim. Did little Miss Debbie ever consider that she just might be an unlikeable, incompetent jerk.

The making of Hillary 5.0: Marketing wizards help reimagine Clinton brand
"It's exactly the same as selling an iPhone or a soft drink or a cereal," said Peter Sealey, a longtime corporate marketing strategist. "She needs to use everything a brand has: a dominant color, a logo, a symbol. . . . The symbol of a Mercedes is a three-pointed star. The symbol of Coca-Cola is the contour bottle. The symbol of McDonald's is the golden arches. What is Clinton's symbol?"
Living proof that "longtime corporate marketing strategists" should be drawn, quartered, sown back together and then drawn and quartered again.

#9  she's a Floor Wax AND a Dessert Topping

and a nagging bitter nanny state tyrant

#10  The problem is, her symbol is Bill Clinton, and has been since she ran for the Senate. "Two for the price of one," a way to eventually get him back in the White House for a third term. But as our turnaround artists well know, changing the image of an established product is hard, and very expensive ... and has to be based on substance. What substantial change in her plans or her views can the former Secretary of State point to? For that matter, what substantial successes can she point to, at any stage in her career? Hint: getting elected/appointed doesn't count.

#11  Ah, yes, Bill Clinton, the point where Hillary repeated participated in the #WARONWOMEN. Above all else men (and women) crave power.

#12  If this is what Hillary! has been reduced to, Elizabeth Warren should be on the warpath ready to announce for 2016 any day now.

#13  No its selling the granddaughters playskool phone claiming its an iPhone.

#14  Its not selling an iphone, its selling a rotary phone. - swksvolFF

Sorry - wiped your comment by accident.

#15  Inspired, inspired.

Cue the XX/Jamison voiceover

"Bill will sleep with anybody...which makes Hillary a somebody. Stay Proggy my friends."

#16  She still smells like old cheese and denture cream.

#17  "When Hillary was young, she didn't have an iphone, she had a party line."
Posted by: swksvolFF || 02/23/2015 13:17 Comments || Top||

#18  I didn't like Hillary alpha, beta or releases 1.0 through 4.0. If past is prologue--just saying.
Posted by: JohnQC || 02/23/2015 16:41 Comments || Top||

#19  Perhaps she could benefit from the Pelosi make-over technique and "Thrill Bill" or do you think its too much too late?
