Michelle was "distressed" by them "white Irish Catholic" families
The new book, The Obama';s, apparently has a lot more to say about the president and his wife than they want the public to know about. they have already set the machine in motion to quash and discredit the book and the author, but apparently there are revelations that will persist well into the election cycle this year. And apparently rightfully so.
When Michelle Obama worked in Mayor Daley's City Hall in the early
1990s, she was "distressed" by how a small group of "white Irish
Catholic" families -- the Daleys, the Hynes and the Madigans -- "locked
up" power in Illinois.
And as she prepared to become first lady, Mrs. Obama naively wanted
to delay a move into the White House for six months, so her daughters
could finish the school year. Her initial thought was to "commute" to
the White House from her South Side home.
And Marty Nesbitt, one of President Obama's best friends, had been
recruited to run for Chicago mayor by African-American leaders -- but
never ended up challenging Rahm Emanuel, who was Obama's chief of staff
who went on to win City Hall.
Details about Mrs. Obama's initial reluctance to embrace her new
life, her time in City Hall, the influence she has in the White House,
tensions between Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, Emanuel and former
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs -- are in a new book about the
first couple by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor.
The Chicago Sun-Times has obtained a copy of The Obamas, to
be published Tuesday. Kantor hits Chicago for an East Lake Shore Drive
book party on Jan. 16; the next day, Jan. 17, she headlines a 6 p.m.
event at the Harold Washington Library, 400 S. State.
Mrs. Obama worked in the Daley administration between Sept. 16, 1991,
and April 30, 1993, according to City of Chicago personnel records. She
was hired by Jarrett, then Daley's deputy chief of staff.
