White House: Emanuel to Blame for Tuesday Electoral Disaster

On Tuesday, Democrats lost more than 60 House seats and over half-a-dozen Senate seats in a historical election. Most analysts and people blame the President and/or the policies that were pursued in the last few years by Democrats. The White House has another idea: it's all Rahm Emanuel's fault.

Emanuel was President Obama's Chief of Staff before he resigned slightly over a month ago to run for mayor in Chicago. Sources inside the White House blame Emanuel for devising a strategy for the Democrats this election cycle that failed. It was exasperated, they say, when he left for Chicago:

“It was Rahm’s strategy and then he leaves a month before the election for his own personal political career. It’s extraordinary.”

On top of it all, some of the President's aides also say that Emanuel's departure has lasting effects, blaming him already if things go south for the Administration in coming months. They say that Obama cannot "orchestrate a dramatic staff shakeup" without Emanuel.

Of course it can't be the Chosen One's fault! /s

[Steely Tom]

Who saw that coming?

[rintense]

Lover’s spat.

[Califreak]

How typical to blame it on the Jew...

*** . . . Rahm’s desire to go to every corner of Chicago to have a conversation with voters about the challenges the city faces and the plan for its future.” ***

Translation: scare the competition out of the primary.

It was exasperated, they say, when he left for Chicago:

Huh? Exacerbated, maybe?

[SandRat]

It's always someone elses fault.

It's never his

fault.

Not that millions are now out of work while the debt levels are skyrocketing and by the way you are going to lose your health care and we are going to tax you every time you breath..

[jersey117]

They are a bunch of morons in the press.

[Signalman]

I guess now Emanuel realizes who aren’t his best friends.

"It was Rahm’s strategy..."

Exactly WHAT was Rahm's strategy?

obama doesn't get a pass by pointing to rahm...

If a guy tells me to rob the bank, and I do rob the bank, it will be ME going to jail for bank robbery, not him.

obama is the President of the United States, a Harvard "law professor"...why wasn't he smart enough to say, "Hey, Rahm baby, we're not going to do that it might backfire on us, and it's probably not constitutional, and...".

I mean come on liberals - we're a bunch of third graders out here falling for all this claptrap bull$cheissen.

The buck stops at obama...no matter who told him what...it's his FINAL DECISION. If he can't pick his advisers any better than that, or discern what is good advice and what is not so good advice, then he doesn't have the judgement necessary to be the president....PERIOD.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF BALDERDASH EVER WRITTEN: " his old colleagues wonder why COS Rahm Emanuel would bolt Washington when Dems needed him to shape their strategy and message in what everyone knew would be the toughest election cycle in years. "

THE FACTS ARE THESE Dems KNEW midterm disaster loomed and they had to hedge their bets. Rahm was targeted for removal since he is a much-hated national symbol of Ohahaism.

Rahm was given the bum's rush out of Washington-----he did not even have a place to stay in Mobtown. I guess Oprah wouldn't let him stay at her place (titter). Despite his begging and pleading, conniver Rahm was ousted........ in the hopes of saving a few seats.

Too bad it didn't work (/snix).

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

BACKSTORY Once chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rahm Emanuel was beatified as the man who built a Democratic majority in the House.

HOW'D HE DO THAT Conniver Rahm duped the electorate, The wily little twerp had Dems running in solid Repub districts posing as true-blue Believers. Calculating Rahmbo got Marxist Ohaha elected saying things like "I want to be another Reagan."

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

Now for the Good News. The 2010 Midterm Massacre sent all those Rahm Dems skeedaddling into oblivion.....all of 'em.

Post-2010, we know that a politician branded with the "Rahm Seal of Approval" has no future in US politics.....and that includes Ohaha.

It was exasperated, they say, when he left for Chicago:

LOL, try to type exacerbated, mangle it, let the spellchecker “fix” it, and never look back. I mean, spellchecker fixed it, right?

[nolongerademocrat]

They need to be very careful with this play. What if he decides to testify against the one?

[Gabrial]

Please, can't we get some grown-ups here?

The whole DC playground needs some adult supervision.

How typical to blame it on the Jew...

Rarely does a message make me truly laugh out loud.
