WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama is a behind-the-scenes force in the White House whose opinions on policy and politics drew her into conflict with presidential advisers and who bristled at some of the demands and constraints of life as the president’s wife, according to a detailed account of the first couple’s relationship. (more)

While former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney turns up the volume on his claim that President Barack Obama is obsessed with his own re-election, not the nation’s welfare, Democrats are changing their orchestrated portrayal of him as a flip-flopper, instead attacking him on issues where he has been most consistent. (more)

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel explained Sunday that the reason his former boss, President Barack Obama, has been unable to bridge the so-called “partisan divide” as he promised to on the campaign trail is because the overarching goal of Republicans is to destroy the president’s prospects for re-election. (more)

1.) Rahm knew, Solyndra blew — Hey, remember when Rahm Emanuel said he couldn’t remember anything about Solyndra because he’s the mayor of Chicago now, so shut up? Despite his claim of municipally triggered memory loss, at one point Rahm did know all about it. In fact, he’s the one who wanted Obama to tout the now-bankrupt “green energy” company. TheDC’s C.J.

Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel may have forgotten Solyndra, but the ongoing scandal over the failed solar company and its $535 million Department of Energy loan guarantee hasn’t forgotten him. (more)

1.) Bring the Cain — Looks like the pizza jokes aren’t working. TheDC’s Alexis Levinson reports: “Herman Cain is the new frontrunner to be the Republican nominee, according to a Public Policy Polling poll released Wednesday that found him leading Mitt Romney by eight points. In the nationwide poll of likely Republican primary voters, Cain got 30 percent of the vote. Mitt Romney came in second with 22 percent, and Newt Gingrich has made a stunning surge into third place, taking 15 percent. Rick Perry is in fourth with 14 percent. No other candidate breaks double digits. Cain is also the most popular candidate in the race, with 66 percent saying they have a favorable opinion of him, and just 15 percent saying they have an unfavorable opinion of him. By contrast, Romney’s favorability is 55-31, and Gingrich’s is 57-30.” Keep in mind that none of this is because Republican voters like Cain or agree with anything he says. Oh, no, this is just a clever ploy to divert attention away from their own racism. Or at least that’s what we’re going to hear. “Republicans are racists and we’re not” is such an article of lefty faith that they simply can’t handle this new development. Their cognitive dissonance is getting more and more hilarious. No matter what happens or who prevails, watching libs lose what’s left of their minds is going to be fun. (more)
