Michelle Obama 'raged against Rahm Emmanuel and White House advisors'

Michelle Obama clashed frequently with Rahm Emmanuel, her husband's White House chief of staff, as the pair vied for influence over the President, according to a new book.

By Raf Sanchez, Washington12:46AM GMT 07 Jan 2012

The First Lady reportedly believed that Mr Emmanuel's willingness to cut backroom deals during the battle over health care reform was tainting Barack Obama's image as a new kind of American leader.

The Obamas paints a picture of a presidential inner circle divided between Mrs Obama's idealistic belief in what the administration could achieve and the grittier pragmatism of Mr Emmanuel.

The book, written by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, claims that the chief of staff refused to allow the president's wife into high-level morning meetings, leading a brooding Mrs Obama to berate other senior advisers by email.

She allegedly sent furious notes to Alyssa Mastromonaco, the president's director of scheduling, and to Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago friend who now serves as one President Obama's top advisors.

Ms Jarrett was said to remove the First Lady's name before circulating the emails widely within the West Wing

Remind me, please. When was the mooch elected as executive director to the president?

Mooch is pissed?

This Jarrett woman disturbs me as I think about it, any female FRIEND of my husband that has enough power over him to block me out of decisions. What does she have on him??????  Is Jarrett a friend or a foe to Moo.??

Who the hell is she to hold this much power over Obama that she can decide to limit his wife from any knowledge or power over her husband??????

Suspicious minds here, some could say Jarrett is acting like a first wife to a Muslim when the second wife has to follow orders from the first and so on down the line.

What do we know about this woman but what is is put out by publicists, Wikki knows only what they have been told.

Me, I would be a bit suspicious of any woman that close to my husband that made decisions that effected my life.
Difficult enough to handle a mother-in-law and now comes an Old time friend, attractive female and is at the beck and call of husband 24/7.    Seems like she is making all the calls in Obamas administration,  who she is getting her orders from is anyones guess.

I do not trust the whole lot of these people, anything is possible coming from them.  By the time they go, Lord knows what they have have done to our country, they can all move off shore and live as kings in small country's to leave us floundering in up Havel, what do they care, they got the money and what happens to us is of no import to them.

We have been had, the Grifters got us in a web of greed and soon they will move on.    Think about it, there is no one on the scene that can save us from these swindlers, another 4 years of this and America will become just a passing foot note in world history, a grand experiment that failed from forces with in.

It is my considered opinion that the Obamas have not been on speaking terms for at least two years.  This is why.

DON'T MAKE ME MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

I'm guessing to the left, as close as possible without scorching her panty hose.

I'm thinking someone should send a hot injection of Vitamin F her way.  Might cure some tension. 
Could you see the scene in the barracks ... "Sergeant, it's a suicide mission but one of the men will have to undertake it ... and I don't request this lightly" .... "Private Jenkins, there comes a time in every soldier's career when he need's to take one for the team.  We need you to ...' mumble, mumble, mumble" ...." .... "NO, NOT THAT!" .... "Yes son, that.  I can only recommend you close your eyes and think of the country.  You'll meet 18:30  hours near the Jefferson Memorial.  Go with God boy ... Go with God!"

Saw an ad on TV for an interview of her on one of the morning shows THIS morning. She will be telling her side of the story....I see it as a either black version of "Hillary standing by her man"...or..."Obama hiding behind her skirts (like Bill C.) while she actually runs the country by proxy".

Nothing good for hubby comes out of her getting involved in a hairball like that.  Doubt if she can see it, though.
