So maybe the time Rodney King was hoping for has arrived at last. Maybe now we all can just get along.
Witness The New Rahm in action. Obama at a meeting earlier in January with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others complained to Emanuel about his tendency to loudly crack his knuckles. “At which point,” The Times reported, “Mr. Emanuel held the offending knuckle up to Mr. Obama’s left ear and, like an annoying little brother, snapped off a few special cracks.”
Now all questions aside about the propriety of doing that to anyone, much less the President of the United States, can you imagine Dick Cheney or Karl Rove doing that to former President Bush? What do you think Bush’s reaction would have been? I, for one, wouldn’t rule out him decking the offending party.
Obama’s reaction was not reported, but I’m sure it was in keeping with “the cool, collegial and deliberate culture of Obama World.” “No Drama Obama” remember?
I AM diffusing the RAHM BOMB!
Rosanna Pulido : A Pro-Gun-Rights Replacement for Rahm Emanuel

Give ‘em hell, Rosie.
Muchos Grassy-Ass!!
Bo is intimidated to say the least by Rahm.
Rahm volunteered for Israeli Military. He is a tough guy.
We all have power. Just use it.

He served briefly as a civilian volunteer on an Israeli military base during the Persian Gulf war of 1991. http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/e/rahm_emanuel/index.html

At least Rahm served. He was in no position to control Arafat so don’t try to make him responsible for it.
Until we learn to fight the Islamo-Fascists by their own strategic method of deception, we will lose. Neocons did not have right strategy. Apologists do not have the right strategy. Re-Fighting the last war or re-negotiating the last peace treaty will surely not get the War on Terror moving forward again.

I’m telling you I have a feeling he isn’t crying wolf. I was wondering why Obama would allow himself and all of his cronies to be involved in that mess and now I clearly see why.
So he is “involved” in the criminal complaint, without doing anything wrong of course. I mean he did investigate himself (sarcasm). However by allowing himself and his staff to be involved in the criminal case (without any consequences for them) he has then removed the ability for Blago to call them in the impeachment trial. So Blago is just sitting there with literally NO defense.
Add that to the fact that Obama had it put specifically in the Stimulus Package that NO funds were to go to Illinois at all as long as Blago was governor...
When has an individual who is still entitled to their fair trial been so singled out? He is blackmailing Illinois! For his own vendetta!
This man frightens more than I imagined. And I am (and who would have thought because I think Blago is a corrupt jerk) actually on Blago’s side here. Everyone, even sleazeballs, are entitled to a FAIR trial.
“at least rahm served.”
sounds like you’re on a friendly, first-name basis with rahmbo. one would ask that you call him and tell him to stop cracking his knuckles in other people’s ears and have respect for the commander-in-chief. also, you might ask him to stop abusing his authority by saying that republicans can go f’k themselves. but, then again, one can’t expect too much from an out-of-control adolescent with power.
best regards.
IMHO
Any scenario that ends with Rahm Emanuel in prison would be the best thing that could possibly happen to this country. He is Zero’s Rasputin. Unfortunately, it will never happen. Democrats are above the law.
LOL!
Rahm’s IDF volunteer service involved attacking greasy dishes- not terrorists
never met, never talked to rahm. If he does not “respect” bo, then I agree with him so no I will NOT call him and tell him to respect bo.

I agree with your wish list. Unfortunately the petulant, vindictive children are now in charge. We, our childred and our grandchildren are so screwed.
Agree....he reminds me of the Martin Short character in Mars Attacks !
He’s only there for the perks, and power trip as he tries to impress the Lewinski’s.
“He is Zero’s Rasputin.”
Nicely put.
I was considering Obama to be the school yard bully who would defer to his enforcer.
Do you really think bo is in charge?
In charge of what? SCOTUS? Defense Dept? State Dept?
