1. At the risk of dating myself:

What is her main malfunction?

7. What is her main malfunction?

"Rather than standing with the president when he is right and breaking with him when he is wrong, Debbie Wasserman Schultz ...
does the opposite.

However, it's not just her voting record that makes Debbie Wasserman Schulz a bad chairwoman of the DNC.
There's also her record of failure at the DNC's main goal: electing Democrats."

17. but she does such a good job of looking intense on television

and staring daggers at other democratic candidates!

2. She is head of the Democratic National Committee

[Uncle Joe]

3. She is also a Congresswoman representing Florida's 23rd Congressional District

as such she also opposes easing travel restrictions to Cuba.

P.S. She also opposed a medical Marijuana Amendment in Florida despite a majority of Florida residents support.

Wasserman Schultz vigorously opposed a 2014 medical marijuana amendment in Florida that narrowly failed to reach the 60% of votes in favour needed to amend the Constitution of Florida. She angered medical marijuana activists and major Democratic donors over this and her comparisons of medical marijuana dispensaries to "pill mills", which over-prescribe and over-dispense painkillers to patients with dubious symptoms.[26] After Wasserman Schultz expressed interest in running for the United States Senate in the 2016 elections, medical marijuana activists vowed to thwart her ambitions. Attorney and donor John Morgan said that her position on medical marijuana "disqualifies her from the [Democratic Senate] nomination... Her position denies terminally ill and chronically ill people compassion."[26]

In response, in February 2015, Wasserman Schultz's staff emailed Morgan, offering for to change her position on medical marijuana if Morgan would stop criticising her. Morgan declined her offer and released the emails to Politico, calling her a "bully".[27] Wasserman Schultz at first declined to comment,[27] then denied that her office had even sent the emails.[28] Morgan responded: "What Debbie leaves out in her pushback was the crystal clear message that her potential support of the new amendment [that has been proposed for the ballot in 2016] was predicated upon me withdrawing my comments to Politico. I don't know how to view that as anything but an offer of a quid pro quo."[28]

18. Yep. She's special and not in a good way. No love for her in the AA community.

4. So, she's going against Obama on this one?

Oh, I just can't WAIT for the Hilsplanations on this one.

9. Pass me some of that!

[Le Taz Hot]

10. Butter?

11. *Offers a salt shaker* Yes, please!

I'm waiting for the whine and cheese delivery

[Le Taz Hot]

12. LOL!

[L0oniX]

15. Yum...

[BlueMTexpat]

5. So long as she is the chair of the DNC,

they will not get one penny from me!

Not one!

8. Schultz has got to go.

She's a detriment to the Democratic party. If you can't support the president on the Iran deal, you don't belong in a party leadership position.

[MrMickeysMom]

13. She's a turn-coat, incompetent HACK...

What a crying shame Howard Dean isn't in this role.

How long are we going to let these people wheel and deal with lives, huh?…

DWS - THE GAME PLAYING MUST END! You're at the poker table, just throwing that dice over a cluster of human beings like it doesn't matter. WHY did you run for Congress for, Debbie? And, what the HELL did this kind of power do to this "leader". Jesus… what a shameless back stabber.

Do us a favor Debbie… Throw your chips down and deal yourself out. Go sell life insurance. Get out of government, because you are little more than a senseless hack.

And, get the HELL out of our party. You represent NO ONE.

14. uh, wtf?

16. Clean up on aisle GD-P.

19. "However, they went around her. James Zogby, co-chair of the Resolutions Committee, led a move to

"prepare a letter of support for the president and the Iran agreement that eventually gained signatures from a sizable majority of the members of the national committee. Zogby said Saturday that, in the end, this produced a satisfactory outcome."

“We wanted to show support for the president,” he said. “We found that the best way to show support was a letter that members would sign on to, and the overwhelming majority of DNC members signed onto the letter. This is the President Obama we elected in 2008 who said, ‘I choose diplomacy over conflict,’ and he did it.”

20. Thanks Cha, you didn't really have to give me any credit though

[Cha]

22. Yes, I did.. I always do the hattip thing.. thanks again. It made me feel so much

better and I wasn't in the mood to read anymore beyond the headline(bad, I know).. and then I saw your post!

I'm just glad I went to LBN.

21. Sabotage of current Administration

In order to make her protégée HRC look better.

Little mean games.

[Cha]

23. No, that's ridiculous.. Hillary is for the Iran Deal.. she supports Obama on this.. DWS seems to

think Bibi is her President.

Anyway, the DNC went around her..

"James Zogby, co-chair of the Resolutions Committee, led a move to prepare a letter of support for the president and the Iran agreement that eventually gained signatures from a sizable majority of the members of the national committee.

24. Hillary supports the deal, no contesting it.

Yet one of her allies chooses wrong path. It could be damaging to HRC herself. It makes DWS move enven more unproductive.

[Cha]

25. Whatever then.. DWS has nothing to do with Hillary on this.. however you choose to spin it.

[mylye2222]

26. Herself no. I agree.

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/08/06/top-hillary-clinton-donor-comes-out-against-iran-deal/?_r=0

But Wasserman-Shultz , who is close to her politically, is chosing an unconstructive strategy. Is she under influence of AIPAC? Maybe.
But what is for sure is that by doing so she can damage Clinton campaign.
Plus this wrong resolutions comes recently after top Clinton donor also chose this way.(link above).
