Barack Obama eyes Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff

Talk about measuring the drapes - Obama's already appointing a chief of staff. Here's a link to video of Rahm Emmanuel making creepy comments about McCain after the last debate. Does the average voter really want a sophmoric jerk like this running the Executive Branch?

I’ll bet Rahm has been “eyeing” him back. It’s that tingle thing.

How do you like that for "post-partisan" eh?

That is roughly analagous (pardon me in advance, Rep. Delay) to John McCain offering the job of chief of staff to Tom Delay!

That's gotta concern even Hillary supporters! ;-`

I wonder how far into the Chicago Neo-Marxist inner circle Rahm is?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Maybe Barack can wait until after his election is official before he starts thinking about which liberals he will appoint to which job?

God forbid —Rham Emmanuel is brilliant and treacherous. A very bad combination. Think Karl Rove with not morals.

[diverteach]

Isn’t this the same guy who once said republicans should be killed?

[machogirl]

Good Lord the arrogance of these people.
But on the flip side, coming out with these BEFORE THE ELECTION gives more voters time to pause and really think about who would be running the country.

His “media” has him convinced that he’s going to win. I wouldn’t want to be the one to tell him that things are starting to look iffy.

[SeeSharp]

Yes. He was also the point man for Clinton’s gun grab.

“How do you like that for “post-partisan” eh? “

Obama’s as far to the left as any candidate in recent memory, now he’s choosing a hyper partisan, overbearing guy like Rahm who has the juvenile sense of humor of a high schooler. Foreign dignitaries will size up Rahm and think “you must be kidding.”

It’s posturing. I hope.

Where do I sign up for civil war .....oops I mean service. Wouldn’t want to get banned for being misunderstood. I know its a fine line.

‘bambi won't be picking anyone. He will be told who he will ‘pick.”

He is nothing but a Pretty, polished, programmed puppet...His puppeteers will do all the deciding.

“coming out with these BEFORE THE ELECTION gives more voters time to pause and really think about who would be running the country.”

That’s what I was thinking. Obama is arrogantly appointing a chief of staff before he’s won anything. Rahm only appeals to highly partisan lefties. Swing voters don’t want to be responsible for a negative piece of work like Rahm running the Executive Branch.

This article appeared a few days ago and now Obama is backpedalling and claiming that he’s appointed no one as Chief of Staff.

One half of America is voting for the Chicago machine to run American government. Simply incredible.
