Did Obama consider replacing DWS as DNC chair in 2013?

Throughout her time as chair, Wasserman Schultz has turned off colleagues, other top Democrats and current and former staff for a management style that strikes many as self-centered — even for a politician — and often at the expense of the DNC or individual candidates or campaigns. Many top Democrats, including some she counts as supporters and friends, privately complain about her trying to use the DNC as a vehicle for her own personal promotion, and letting her own ambition get in the way of larger goals.

Wasserman Schultz has a different sense of herself. According to people who spoke with her, when she 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. Under fire last fall for her leadership, she took Obama’s decision not to remove her then as evidence of renewed strength and said she was confident no one could get her out of the DNC before her term is over at the beginning of 2017, according to sources who’ve spoken with her. She’s also been known to joke around the office about how having a vacation home in New Hampshire might one day be helpful in a presidential run.

1. He will fire DWS after the indictment

and bring in Biden if he needs to to stop Bernie. That's what his corporate masters will demand.

Remember, Bernie was never supposed to get this far, there may be a corporate punishment in store for those who failed to deliver.

4. Yes or something close.

Lesson: this started as a right wing smear job it does not pay to make yourself vulnerable to right wing opposition smears even if you did not exactly break the law.

2. privately complain about her trying to use the DNC as a vehicle for her own personal promotion"

Because no man has ever done that before.

DWS needs to be replaced, but this complaint reeks of sexism.

3. "has rarely even spoken to President Barack Obama since she took over in 2011."

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose term has two years to run, is deeply at odds with White House staffers, they say, and has rarely even spoken to President Barack Obama since she took over in 2011.

This was from last year.
