Another Georgetown University guy.
Note, it’s hard to see how Valerie Jarrett came to agree on letting him in the inner circle, but we should note...it’s a one-year clean-up episode. He’s going to teach them how to effectively run the White House...which it took five years for the team to realize that they had no real experience in DC, the art of negotiation, or conducting executive management. The staff have been in campaign mode for the whole five years....so he’s transitioning them to what they were supposed to be doing.
I think that this is a sign that the Democrats are in panic mode.
Uh huh. The Sultan of Schmooze joins the Ministry of Propaganda to give 'em a few pointers...
If Obamacare was any good, it would sell itself. It isn't.
Note, too, they are setting up the side issues to pull the heat off the superfail of their rollout.
The RAT returns to the Sinking Ship!!!
The Clintons recognized Podesta's talent for scandal-suppression early. While still a mere staff secretary at the White House in 1993, Podesta found himself swamped with so many scandal clean-up assignments that he nicknamed himself, "Secretary of [Expletive]." "He's good at it," James Carville remarked to the Washington Post.
Podesta's most lasting contribution to the leftist cause came through his promotion of a strategy that White House aides dubbed "Project Podesta." This was a system that enabled the Clintons to push through unpopular policies that neither Congress nor the American people wanted. Its implementation marked a dramatic tilt in the balance of power, giving the executive branch an unprecedented ability to force its will on the legislative branch.
Project Podesta enabled the President to bypass Congress through the use of executive orders, presidential decision directives, White-House-sponsored lawsuits, vacancy appointments to high federal office, selective regulatory actions against targeted corporations, and a host of other extra-constitutional tactics.
In short, Podesta showed the Clintons that they could gain by force what they might fail to achieve through legislation. "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kind of cool," quipped White House aide Paul Begala to The New York Times on July 5, 1998, in response to questions about the Clintons' growing disdain for the will of Congress.
Podesta also has served as an Independent Advisory Council member of the notoriously corrupt community organization ACORN

Ohhhhhhhh.....when the lying isn’t working, bring in a bigger liar.
Daley was brought in a couple of years ago but didn't last long because of friction between he and Jarrett.
