Which Republican will have the balls to tie Rubin to the crooks in Congress? This country is seriously lacking a statesman or two.

Which Republican will have the balls to tie Rubin to the crooks in Congress?

Maybe Obaba's COS Rahm Emanuel will come forth (snicker):

Rahm is perfection itself---Rahm's so perfect he's downright scary. An amazing career path---straight-to-the-top trajectory---and Rahm did it all by hisself (sniffle).

RAHM'S EFFORTLESS RISE TO THE TOP Even voted "Mr Perfect" by Democrat candidates looking for donations from financial outfits.

"Mr Perfect" resigned his position as an advisor to Bill Clinton, in 1998 to become a Wall Street investment banker with Wasserstein Perella, (now Dresdner Kleinwort), where he worked until 2002. In 1999, "Mr Perfect" became managing director at their Chicago office. According to Congressional disclosures, Emanuel made $16.2 million in his 2 1/2 year stint as a banker.

Amazingly, "Mr Perfect" became a multi-millioniare overnight----and he wasn't even voted "Most Likely To Succeed" (sniffle).

At Wasserstein Perella, Mr Perfect worked on eight deals, including the acquisition by Commonwealth Edison of Peco Energy and the purchase by GTCR Golder Rauner of the SecurityLink home security unit from SBC.

Rahm then ran for Congress; luckily members of the securities and investment industry became his biggest backers, donating more than $1.5M to his campaigns dating back to 2002, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Mr Perfect also leaned heavily upon the industry as 2006 Dem Congressional Campaign Committee Chair. Financial industry donors contributed more than $5.8M to the Dem committee, behind only retirees.

Pres Bill Clinton in 2000 named Mr Perfect to the Board of Directors for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"). Rahm's position paid him $31,060 in 2000 and $231,655 in 2001. During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) later accused the board of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention." Emanuel resigned from the board in 2001 when he ran for Congress.

=====================================

In between Rahm's career choices, he won a coveted scholarship to the prestigious Joffrey School of Ballet...he was that good in a tutu. There was just one LITTLE problem.

"We double checked with The Joffrey School of Ballet."

" Rahm solved that problem by stuffing a rolled-up sock in his leotard."

=======================================

Golly, selfless, altruistic Rahm even found time to serve with (or in) the Israeli military. Jeepers, can you believe Obaba has not responded to these Islamic smears that Rahm has had to endure (sniffle). Here's some helpful hints so that Obaba can respond (depending, of course, on which version of Rahm's story he believes):

SELFLESS RAHM HAS GIVEN OUT THIS VERSION He did not serve in the Israeli army. He was a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israel's northern bases.

ALTRUISTIC RAHM HAS GIVEN OUT THIS VERSION, AS WELL During the 1991 Gulf War, Israel was asked by the United States not to militarily respond to the Scud missiles that Iraq was hurling at them. Israel did not .........and Rahm was in Israel to assist them in not responding militarily.

Obaba can settle this Islamic smear jihad ONCE AND FOR ALL. Obaba should obtain copies of Rahn's paychecks to demonstrate that payments to Rahm were NOT coming out of the IDF military budget. Cause if they did, that would wipeout Rahm's US citizenship (bawl).
