It will be an interesting question - WHO will be the first cabinet secretary to go?

I sense that there are a few in the Obama Administration (Rahm being the main one) who will never leave. Obama needs them more than they need him.

(R - Grant Wood)

I guess Charles Grassley would look natural holding a pitchfork in Grant Wood's painting.

Funny how the Rats pushed the conspiracy theory that Bush was just Karl Rove’s puppet when apparently in reality Obamalama is in fact Rahm’s puppet. LOL!

“We suck,” a blunt Republican partisan reports, “but they suck more right now.”

Shockingly honest.

I for one am sick and tire on how Zero gets a pass on everything. If its not Emanuel's fault, then it is Pelosi's, If not Pelosi's then Reid's. If not Reid, then Bush's. An such is the great Obama circle-jerk-of-blame.

What ever happened to "The buck stops here" ?

The “ascendancy” of the republican party is a trick of smoke and mirrors. Crediting Rahm with that “ascendancy” is further compounding a very false premise.

This is about US not the politicians. The GOP were literally humping Zeros leg before WE, the ANGRY malcontents, started getting rowdy. Make no mistake, if given the chance, the gop will GLADLY go back to slobbering over zeros shoes and killing themselves to “reach across the isle”

The ONLY damn way the GOP is going to benefit from OUR work is if WE take the wheel of that miserable shipwreck of a party and kick the socialists overboard. We are going to need to do this in the near future anyway... But we need to do it at the STATE level first.

my bet is the first to go will still be Leon Panetta because to do otherwise in the midst of this witch hunt would damage his credibility beyond repair

Is Obama implementing Rahm's "The Plan"?

FR Posted August 17, 2009 by HollyB

Now we know who is running the show. Rahm Emanuel's main points----- which Obama is now trying to ram down our throats.

1. Page 160 New Domestic Defense Division
Rahm: “It should include top security talent from the CIA, the FBI, and the ranks of state and local law enforcement.
Obama: The new task force: The Team would be drawn from those with relevant experience probably from agencies such as the FBI, CIA, and the Pentagon…” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124787391051060705.html

2. Page 58 Citizen service:
Rahm: “Every citizen needs to understand and accept the essence of the American bargain: Each of us has to do his or her part. While the rights of citizenship are explicit in our constitution, the implicit responsibilities are every bit as crucial. All Americans between ages of 18-25 will be asked to serve their country by going through 3 months of basic training, civil defense preparation, and community service”.

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

Rahm's Citizen Service “The nation will enlist them for 3 months of civilian service. They’ll be asked to report for basic civil defense training in their state or community.” Obama:” We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded”. http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/obamas_civilian_national_secur.html

“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=80829

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

KEEP IN MIND Candidate Obama campaigned on installing a “Civilian Security Force” on US soil. Dual citizen Rahm Emanuel surely got the top White House job as Obama’s COS based on his Israeli training on how to organize a “Civilian Security Force.” Rham Emanuel has been trained to organize a civilian security force as a volunteer for “Sar’el”——the three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program to train civilians. Looking at ACORN’s activities, and the BILLIONS Obama has given them, ACORN is primed for (and is already acting as) a “Civilian Security Force.”

ONE RAHM VERSION Circa 1991 Rahm Emmanuel volunteered in a program for civilian service in the IDF, and worked on brake components for APC’s and tanks in an IDF motor pool. He is lacking part of a finger and for many years went around claiming that he’d lost it in actions against the enemy in a tank.

Now if Rahm fought in the military of foreign government, that would negate his American citizenship (US citizens forfeit their citizenship when they serve in the military of a foreign government).

SECOND RAHM VERSION Rahm volunteered for “Sar’el”——a three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program (like US boot camp) where civilians are trained to assist the Israeli military. Civilians like Rahm lived on an IDF military base to get the proper training. A civilian volunteer, Rahm assisted the IDF during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israel’s northern bases.

Rahm's father was an Israeli who was part of the underground resistance movement under the British Mandate.

FRIGHTENING STATEMENT Obama has stated that Rahm tells him "everything he needs to know about Israel."

Rahm Emanuel today is a dual Israeli-American citizen. It is not clear whether a dual citizen is permitted to serve in a high level US govt job that makes policy decisions for Americans.
