Michelle Obama was distressed by the dominence of white Irish Catholics in Chicage politics, according to Jodi Kantor. Poor woman.

Speculation is mounting that the President's chief of staff was been effectively forced out by Barack Obama's move to the left ahead of this year's election.
President Obama announced yesterday that William Daley, who was hired to forge links with big business and Congress Republicans, is stepping down from his post, making him his third chief of staff to quit in three years.
Mr Obama has aggressively targeted Congress, which he says has blocked the workings of government, and is looking to strike a more populist economic tone ahead of his re-election campaign.

How on earth could he move any more to the left?
