WASHINGTON – Barack Obama's campaign has approached Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel about possibly serving as White House chief of staff, officials said Thursday as the marathon presidential race entered its final, frenzied stretch with a Democratic tilt.
The disclosure came as Republican John McCain, in need of a comeback, focused on pocketbook issues amid fresh signs of a recession. "Ohio is hurting now, people in Ohio are having trouble staying in their homes, keeping their jobs," he said as he set out on a two-day bus tour of the state.

Just the person Obama will need to put “in charge” of seeing that staff clear the background checks.
He is playing head games with the voters.
Two or more agreeing....I agree with your prayer. Amen.
Isn’t the real title Rahm the Hatchetman Kapo. He was like Clinton Junior with the froth of lies spewing out of his mouth.
“Sports analogy:
barry = New England
McCain = NY Giants”
yeah baby!

God I hope so. If nothing else, one of the main reasons I want Hussein to lose is the thought of the massive grief and devastation it would bring to his brainwashed liberal followers. A Hussein loss would be the PEST we saw in liberals after the 2004 election x100. It will be schadenfreude of the highest order. If Hussein loses, I might take the day off work the day after the election just so I can sit and watch MSNBC all day, while trolling liberal websites during the commercials.
Obama is asking for advice on how to put a turtle on that fence post.
Make him the head of the KGB (It’s now known as the FBI, but that will “Change”!) Yes, the initials are Russian, but Obama wants you to learn a second language, so you had better start studying, comrade!;)
Rahm Emanuel, the guy who was on the board of Freddie Mac.
"……. So successful was this formula, that in 1992 Bill Clinton used it to reach the highest office, the office of the U.S. Presidency. In return for large campaign donations, the crime families would be represented in the Clinton administration. The New York Mob paid $56 million [1] and won the slot of Deputy Chief of Staff for its lawyer Harold Ickes. The Dixie Mafia paid an undisclosed amount and obtained slots for Patsy Thomasson and Buddy Young. The Chicago political machine sent Rahm Emanuel and David Wilhelm. Harold Ickes proved his value to the Mob when he held his hand over Mob puppets Arthur Coia and Ron Carey who were under separate RICO investigations by the Justice Department.
Patsy Thomasson, in charge of White House drug testing policy, saw to it that criminal figures on the White House staff would not be bothered about past and current drug use. ……… Peripheral Mob figures Nathan Landow, Richard Ben-Veniste, and their associates Terry Lenzner and Paul Begala became part of the secret police that would keep Clinton in office despite multiple revelations of criminal offenses.
Ironically, the only member of the Clinton enforcement team who has threatened the use of Mafia methods in public is James Carville. He said on television that Kenneth Starr was just one mistake away from not having any kneecaps. "Kneecapping" is a Mafia specialty. Yet the only link between Carville and the Mafia that we have been able to find so far is his partnership with Paul Begala, who admitted in a recent deposition for the Filegate trial that he was in close and frequent contact with his friend Richard Ben-Veniste, a Mob lawyer and friend of Mobster Alvin Malnik [2]. Richard Ben- Veniste has defended several drug traffickers and money launderers for the Mafia and for the DNC. Ben-Veniste also defended Bill Clinton on the Senate Whitewater panel in 1995. ........." ------The Washington Weekly (http://www.federal.com) 5/4/98 via DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON SECTION: SECRET POLICE SUBSECTION: ALL

COLUMBIA, MO-
SNIPPET: “I asked Obama chief strategist David Axelrod—who has also been Emanuel’s media consultant—about the report.

No, Rahm is Jewish. I think he did help get the muslim Ellison elected, though.
Rahm’s not muslim.
