Sources close to ‘DWS’ and within Democrat Party circles have told the Shark Tank that her head has been on the political chopping block as far back as 2012.
To her credit, Wasserman Schultz showed President Obama and her enemies how capable and valuable a leader she is for the Democrat Party when she helping reelect her boss in 2012.Obama’s 2012 win over Romney saved Wasserman Schultz’s job, but now that Democrats stand to lose big in 2014, there could be other option for Democrats but to pin their failings on the one person who was been able galvanize their liberal base.
Here is what we recently wrote about ‘DWS’ possibly losing her job over at the DNC:
Back in April 2012, Shark Tank first reported on this rift between President Obama and Wasserman Schultz after a close source to Wasserman Schultz- someone familiar to her relationship with the president-spilled the beans about the tension between the two.

When Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida was tapped last year to lead the Democratic National Committee, it seemed like the latest ascension for a fast-rising star destined for even higher positions. Some stumbles and an apparent falling out of favor with the White House had changed that calculus. Now it looks like it could be changing again.Because public opinion polls showed that Republicans were in position to possibly put a big hurt on the White House’s chances of reelection, as well as winning more seats in the House of Representatives, Wasserman Schultz’s head was on the political chopping block.
