   (CNN) -- Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie   
   Wasserman Schultz will introduce President Obama at the party's   
   Women's Leadership Forum on Friday, a well-placed Democratic   
   source says.   
      
   "He'll have nice things to say about her," the source said. As   
   for Politico's story on Democratic and White House grumblings   
   about Schultz, the source said "it didn't come from the White   
   House." But nobody at the White House is pushing back on it   
   either, the source added.   
      
   "As far as I know, she's here to stay ... this too shall pass,"   
   the source said, pointing out that it would not make much sense   
   to try to force Schultz out just two months before the midterm   
   elections. "It's not like we're about to dump her," the source   
   added.   
      
   However, the source said that when the President wants to talk   
   about midterms, he usually reaches out to senators associated   
   with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (Chairman   
   Michael Bennet, Harry Reid and former Chairman Chuck Schumer)   
   and that committee, not Schultz.   
      
   In part, that's a function of the job. Under Obama, the position   
   of DNC chairman is tough, because that person takes something of   
   a backseat, the source said, to the political operatives who   
   work at the White House.   
      
   Schultz's term does not expire until January 2017. The source   
   said that after the midterms, however, her future is a question   
   for the party's next nominee for 2016.
