A new book titled “The Obamas” by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor is said to be overhyped and sensationalizes activity that took place in the White House. The book speaks on the subjects of tensions between the First Lady, Michelle Obama, and her husband’s West Wing staff as well as an “elaborate” Halloween party. Obama spokesman Eric Schultz said, “This mischaracterization of a celebration in support of military families is unfortunate but also instructive. When book authors attempt to stretch isolated incidents into grandiose insights, they end up going down the rabbit hole.”
Press Secretary Jay Carney mentioned that the White House he has served in as spokesman for President Obama and communications director for Vice President Biden “is a remarkably harmonious place,” said Carney.
