AP: Rahm Emanuel is Chief of Staff

AP ^

[My Favorite Headache]

Rumors over with...so much for change...it is the man who has one of the worst tempers and hatred for Republicans in the history of Washington as Chief of Staff for President-Elect Barack Obama

[My Favorite Headache]

He said it in 2002...look at the article I posted above from 2007.

Two questions:

Does Rahm Emmanuel have a religion?

What are the odds of them bringing charges against various Bush Admin personnel? IIRC Pelosi had indicated she would look into this.

This guy is a bully. You beat bullies by hitting them between the eyes.

Yeah well, on the flip side, he’s pretty much hated by the far left, too. Do a little googling.

Several Democrats confirmed that Emanuel had been offered the job. While it was not clear he had accepted, a rejection would amount to an unlikely public snub of the new president-elect within hours of an electoral college landslide.

They have sure lowered the bar for a "landslide", haven't they?

It seems the AP is getting a little cheeky with President Elect Zero today.

Stocks fall as investors ponder Obama presidency

They're the only ones that I've heard that didn't try to spin it to blame Bush, actually.

Emanuel, Corzine, Kerry...slow down with the change, Barry, you’re making my head spin!!

[dbz77]

They didn’t fall for it, they knew he’d staff his cabinet with hardcore lefties.

Is chief of staff considered a Cabinet post?

The Bolsheviks are taking over. The Dictator's Duma:

Can’t you just feel the unity coming from this new adminstration? I mean, is there a bigger snake in the democrat party?

[originalbuckeye]

Is he Jewish? or like most of my Jewish friends who were born Jewish but now being a radical Leftist is their new religion.

[My Favorite Headache]

Yes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cabinet

True enough; there will be no change ~ no change at all.

What a bunch of fools those Obama voters are.

I don't know how far to trust wikipedia. But they say that Rahm thinks he was the inspiration for one of the characters on TV's The West Wing, and that he's appeared on the show. And that he won a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet and gave it up to go to Sarah Lawrence. More interesting: his brother's an agent in Hollywood and said to be the inspiration for Jeremy Piven's character on Entourage.

They are going to self-destruct. They are setting up a fascist government and will be destroyed by their own overreaching criminality.

They are all Chicago thugs.

[TMA62]

Emanuel, Chief of the Brownshirts.

[Borges]

Isn’t he Jewish?

It’s customary, if you post a link on a thread, that it should be directed to a specific post or story. Yours just goes the main page of RightWingIt.

Thank you for your help in this matter. I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :)

If the Obama administration wants to go down that road, let them. We will blow the senate republican phone lines up to make sure every single item the new administration wants is filibustered.

[Crawdad]

Maybe because Emanuel is a wealthy suburban kid who studied ballet at Sarah Lawrence College

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
