In his new book on President Obama's first year in office, "The Promise," Jonathan Alter includes a quote from the president's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, illustrating just how opposed Emanuel was to the president's push for comprehensive health care reform.
"I begged him not to do this," Emanuel told Alter, as detailed by the Washington Post's Greg Sargent, writing off advanced excerpts put out ahead of the book's release Tuesday. (Hotsheet just got its copy of the book and is planning to dig into it this weekend.)
The president overruled Emanuel, telling him, according to the book, that he "wasn't sent here to do school uniforms."

Best post in this thread!
“wasn’t sent here to do school uniforms.”
Thats right. Barry’s puppet masters handed him his marching orders to destroy the US economy and the middle class. So far so good.
Barry isn’t smart enough to create all these monsters. He’s working for the people in the background that we don’t see.
He POS Obama, are you feeling lucky today?
Set the peas next to the dead fish.
No matter what you say, if the Zero had followed Rahm’s advice we would be in entirely different circumstances today.
Exactly.
This health are plan was already mostly drafted up and ready to go before Obama was even elected. It was a done deal as soon as they held the Congress and the presidency, whether that was Obama, or Hillary or anyone else.
That’s why I reject the term ObamaCare.
It is more like PelosiCare than any one else.
your name surely doesn’t equal what you said about Peter Lorre. Nor Betty Davis. Wow... that was awful.
I do remember reading about him trying to stab Pelosi in the back and his dream of being speaker of the house one day, he's a political animal, zero is a petulant child with no regard for counsel of others.
The name is good where it is - since the vast majority of the nation will never get the chance to vote against Pelosi.
Obama is a total thug totalitarian beneath that phony smile.
He came to destroy our country, and by God/Allah, he will have his way!
SO DID THE REST OF THE F!@#$%^!! COUNTRY!!
Great woman, don't get me wrong. Loved her rant - and she obviously is a good manager.
If I was younger and dated her, I would terrified of her if I missed her birthday or something though.
Whoops - wrong thread for that response! It was about the business woman who told Obama off on Neil Cavuto. Sorry!
Please post the correct date in the future. This article is from May 14, 2010.
'Coulda fooled me-
Exactly why was Obama sent and who actually sent him.
But oddly, Obama didn’t have a plan. He let Senate and House staffers basically write the thing, and then tinker with it however needed to get it passed. If Obama saw it as such an important “mission” - why didn’t he have his own clear planks and positions in the so-called “Health Care Bill?”
“wasn’t sent here to do school uniforms.”
Well I didn’t send him there, but I thought he could at least be able wash School Uniforms.. meh...I was wrong
What did Obamacare do to the economy? 90% of it doesn’t kick in until 2013.
