And then he went and brought home a vicious, rabid dog named Rahm Emanuel.
I hope Obama's girls have all their shots.
A Time article on Emanuel summed it up rather well:
When Barack Obama asked Sen. Rahm Emanuel to be his White House chief-of-staff, few political insiders were surprised. The Chicago congressman and chairman of the House Democratic Caucus has been described in the past as a profane, hyperactive attack dog and it is just this sort of steamrolling personality that makes him such a valuable asset. There are few people in Washington D.C. who could make for such a formidable gatekeeper to the Oval Office.He's even got a "hyperactive attack dog's" nickname:
Emanuel's nickname is "Rahmbo," and he is known for mowing down his opponents. Coming out of Chicago, both he and Obama know the value of muscle.Now, me, I wish that Obama had picked up some snarling, frothing-at-the-mouth Rottweiler chained up in some crack dealer's front yard for the girls' "puppy," and picked a reasonably decent and human chief-of-staff instead.
Obama promises a whole new, wonderful world where everybody loves each other. And then he goes and gets himself the most rabid, vicious, frothing at the mouth attack dog he can find:
And Emanuel's partisanshipafter winning back the House in 2006, he recommended that Republicans "go f*** themselves"could undercut Obama's promises to reach across the aisle.COULD? Did they say 'Could'?
Yeah. The way dressing his entire cabinet in Nazi SS uniforms COULD undercut Obama's promises of an "unshakable commitment" to Israel.
Barack Obama will say whatever he has to say to get elected. It doesn't matter if it's a little white lie, or a great big gigantic lie. He knows the media won't hold him responsible for anything he says.
I'm sure that Barack Obama will keep his promise to his girls and get them some really nice puppy. As for his promise to be a "new politician" epitomizing "hope" and "change" that he made to the other 300 million Americans - well, we can quote Emanuel's famous line to them.
Sooner or later, the public will come to realize they bought a bunch of bogus promises that will come back to bite this country's balls off.
I did read your post.
And I don’t believe for a second that Obama will do a thing “to advance the cause of Islam.”
Obama’s religion is Obama.
Ok.
Rahm is a complete moral relativist who will do anything - lie, cheat, falsely accuse, whatever - to get his way.
Here's something that REALLY scares me:
Obama is saying NO DOG now. Hmm... I wonder how he feels about ham?...or has he ever had BACON for breakfast???
