Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job later this year after growing tired of the "idealism" of Barack Obama's inner circle.

Wrong again. What makes you think JESUS was a "Christian"?

Yeshua is a JEW.

[Guenevere]

Of course we know what it means....we’re Freepers !

[Hildy]

You’d think..it’s surprising how many did (and DID is the operative word). I lost some of my own family members over the election.

[The Duke]

I always thought Emmanuel’s gangster motif contrasted a bit with Obama’s purist commie approach.

[stboz]

Anybody who wears a tablecloth on his head must be pretty messed up.

...after growing tired of the "idealism" of Barack Obama's inner circle.

Would that "idealism" have to do with the destruction of Israel?

Mr Emanuel has privately expressed a readiness to run for mayor of Chicago, which is also his home town though he was never part of the Obama set and did not endorse the then senator in the Democratic primary in 2008.

That would however depend on Mayor Richard Daley stepping down when he is up for re-election in 2011. -

Not trying to be a smart alec, but do you not believe CCX, which is headed in Chicago, will not be will be one of Rahm’s “projects” when he’s mayor? Heck, the new US capitol is Chicago.

“Good night. I expect more respect tomorrow.”

I heard there is a lot of that going around recently.

Sounds like shower boy is going to get indicted.

[humblegunner]

Wrong again.

John 14:6 is wrong? The Bible is wrong?

Ok, Achmed, whatever you say. Allahu akhbar to you, O muslim.

[Ditter]

Rahm the ballet dancer is not a fag! Who knew!

[denydenydeny]

Emanuel should have had to resign the day after “never let a crisis go to waste,” probably the most disgraceful and evil thing any high Executive Branch official has said since the days of Andrew Jackson.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

There were sharp differences over health care reform, with Mr Emanuel arguing that public hostility about cost should have forced them into producing a scaled down package. Mr Obama and advisers including David Axelrod, the chief strategist, and Valerie Jarrett, a businesswoman and mentor from Chicago, decided to push through with grander legislation anyway.

Interesting comment...

[lonestar]

He’s also in the Hillary inner circle, IIRC.

"There has to be a reason for the telegraph.co.uk scooping much more than the "domestic" MSM of late.

The reason is....they are interested in journalism more than getting "in with" the Dems and Obama.

The best US political news coverage is the Telegraph, better than ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, FOX, NYT, WaPo combined.

[School of Rational Thought]

One step ahead of the prosecutor?

[GOPJ]

You do know the Virgin Mary was a Jew... right? As was Jesus - and his earthly father... Joseph - right?

Think of Jews as our "parent: religion - a little respect please....

[Article10]

We can only pray blago dropped the dime on Dead Fish....

[Oceander]

I'm more concerned that he thinks he's going to be going under the radar - to engage in who knows what nefarious, fascist, activities.

[mware]

Yea, I was thinking about the Hillary connection.

Wonder what is afoot
