Rahm Emanuel, who has been chosen by Barack Obama to be the White House chief of staff, is known by colleagues as "Rahmbo" - a nickname reflecting his reputation as one of the most ferociously combative figures in Washington. Mr Emanuel, who received training in ballet as a boy, has shown no lightness of step in his political career: would-be enemies are advised to heed the story of a pollster who wronged him and promptly received a large, decomposing fish in the post. Reflecting on his own foul-mouthed, attack-dog style, Mr Emanuel has said: "I wake up some mornings hating me too." Commentators have suggested that Mr Obama, who ran a lofty campaign based on national unity and bipartisanship, has recognised the need to employ a tough enforcer to push through his policy programme.

I show my respect to the people that deserve it. Barack does not deserve my respect due to the friends he hangs around with and for being a socialist. I spent 22 years of my life trying to beat back socialism and now this sorry bunch of rats bring it here.
Ballerina boy sounds good.....
bipartisanship, yeah right, more like Chicago-style thuggery. He will not reach across the aisle, he will try and destroy the other side of the aisle.
I especially fear who will be placed in charge of the CIA and FBI.
But this morning it sounds like Ram (sic) is playing hard to get.
When I see Obama and Emanuel the word “bi-sexual” comes to mind for some reason. Not sure why but it does.
yes, except i want them to say it in a “just the facts, m’am,”
kinda way. like a newsman with, “embattled senator.....”
Rahm-bo was actually accepted into the Juliard School of the Arts in Ballet, but eleceted to attend a different school and did receive a BA in Ballet. His political attack-dog style might result from Boy-Named-Sue syndrome.
Who will be the enforcer of the “peoples”? Do you think the “hate” laws were for anything more than an excuse to jail people for expressing their opinions? Get ready for the camps, we are definitely the type that Obama sees as needing to “get our minds right”.
The only Clintonite I hated more than this punk was Lanny Davis. I had hoped never again to have to see him in a leading part in an administration. He reminds me so much of Putin.
It will be interesting to watch the interactions of him with his two new bestest friends in the HOR and the Sentate.
“Mr. Rahm Emanuel is also Jewish.”
You have to be careful on here apparantly there are alot of people who believe that liberal Jews, who vote in the same percentage as blacks for democrats (80%+), are just like you and me and that eventhough they own and run the media, hollywood and wall street that we shouldnt attack them.
We are now at a crossroads and the line has been drawn if liberal jews (which is most of them) want a fight we need to be ready to fight. We need to expose and shame them for backing politicians who are the remake of the fuhrer.
And call it BJ/BO #2.
Selection of Rahm Emmanuel ... a Clinton butt-and-towel boy, also means that the Clintons will have a great influence on the handling of issues and the "style"of this administration. I am sure Bill Clinton thinks that his influence on this marxist will be just as great, if not greater, than that he would have had with his wife in the WH. And, he could just be right, as Obama ain't gotta clue.
The MSM will adjust by sidelining all of the useful idiots who got the Luo Prince of Kenya elected, and showcasing a spate of reporters and commentators "of color," who will be respectfully worshipful during the brief 4-year reign of Barack Hussein The Magnificent, Beloved of Allah.
Of course, none of this would have happened if John McCain were alive. We's in trouble, baby!
I will personally be yelling louder and louder at all his picks because the media sure as hell won’t say anything!...
As a side note: On election night when I found out Hussien had won, I put in a video of John Wayne in the Seachers. I tuned out Numbnut’s speech from Chicago. My house is an Obama free zone for the next four years.....
Well the Kremlin may have gone leader after leader but they always had Suslov the ideologue keeping things in line.
The only Clintonite I hated more than this punk was Lanny Davis.

Ah, yes, that jerk Lanny. One of the reasons I stopped listening to and watching Hannity was his frequent featuring of his “good friend” Lanny.
I don’t think Emanuel is good for us, but he will be good for BO. Yes, he’s a thug. But he’s intelligent. And slick.
I agree with you on that one. I couldn't change the station quick enough when I heard Lanny was the next guest.
Yesterday I heard Hannity say he wished Obama the best?....
What’s up with that?....stop playing nice with these rat bastards.....please!
It's called grace. Good manners. Letting the winner have his due...Used to be a Southern thing.
Give it until the receiver gives you reason to take it back.
