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.

[freespirited]

I think that when all is said and done that he is particularly disturbed about Obama’s stance towards Israel.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Rahmbo got himself into a situation he didnt understand, actually believing all that BS from Obama about him being a friend of Israel. Now that Rahm has seen the ugly truth he wants out.

[ReluctantDragon]

I know what it means and I’m sure most of the members here do too.

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....

I lost some of my own family members over the election.

They lost YOU.

“What makes you think JESUS was a “Christian”?”

Good point. Jesus was not a follower of Christ, He was Christ. His followers are Christians.

I’m guessing he’ll be the first of many because they know the jig is up.

What I look forward to is when these guys start spilling the beans. They always write books and do interviews after they leave, and that's when the juicy stuff starts to come out.

[nolongerademocrat]

Let us hope so.

What makes you think JESUS was a "Christian"?

It would be pretty tough to be your namesake before you existed now wouldn't it? ; )

I was a humblegunner follower for a long time however I wasn't a follower before humblegunner existed.

Rahm is a walking disaster area. He helped kick off the housing crisis while reaping millions of dollars for himself and was rewarded with helping destroy the economy further from the White House. While unemployment is rampant it’s extraordinary that this idiot keeps falling upwards.

Information flowed pretty slow back then, anyway.

Yeah,just don't see Capone and Trotsky throwing back some cold Brewskis at a local Chicago pub.

One wants to rob America then destroy it while the other wants to do the reverse.

Ah, no big deal, didn’t Bush II have a whole bunch of CoS’ that bailed and left him in the lurch mid-stream? And Clinton had virtually his entire inner circle bail on him after his second eletion, no? Same with Bush I & Reagan all of their appointees resigned in disgrace. Exceptin’ Clinton though, they merely left for personal reasons, and to spend more time with their families.

Nah, Rahm’s got another meal ticket. Its kinda like Kwame Kilpatrick’s attorney who said he’s got a more lucrative thing going on representing the interests of the local church and has to bow out of the honor being legal counsel on Kwame’s appeal.

I’m sure Rahm’s got it figured: he, Dohrn and Ayers are hookin’ up with Soro’s for bigger and better things than a mere gig at the White House serving as puppeteer.

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

Rhetorical, I know. The Telegraph is a NEWSPAPER, the MSM take their cues from Washington.

[Iron Munro]

Rahm's work is done.

[mware]

Kind of frightening trying to think who he might get to replace him though.

[driftdiver]

That is what I was thinking
