WASHINGTON. D.C. – Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”
“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”
Last month, Politico reported that Emanuel had “launched a coordinated effort to jam” Senator Kyl and other Administration critics… “[A]fter seeing Kyl and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) again paint the legislation as a failure on Sunday talk shows, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel directed that the letters from the Cabinet secretaries be sent to [Governor] Brewer, according to two administration officials.”

Don’t you just love how Obama has changed the tone in Washington, ushered in a new age of post-partisan cooperation, and unified the country under a new vision of peace, hope, and change?
Wow!
PING!!
Republicans in Congress need to grow a pair like this guy. After all, what are the dems going to do to them? Run someone against them in November? Hey guys! They ALREADY do that!
Unfortunately where there's 1 man of principle in congress, there's another 50-80 spineless wimps or all-out socialists themselves.
BUMP
ping for after lunch
Rahm should maybe pay ALL his Federal Taxes! eh
