Jonathan Alter reports in his new book that Rahm Emanuel lobbied the president for several weeks to drop healthcare reform last Summer. The president's response to Rahm's weakling begging is pretty great.
"I begged him not to do this," Rahm admits to Alter. But according to the book, Obama overrode Rahm's advice, privately taking a bit of shot at Clinton by telling advisers that he hadn't been sent to the White House to do "school uniforms."
POW! ZING! Suck it!
