The Chicago enforcer in the WH.
At a top-level meeting with Pelosi and others, Obama complained to Emanuel about Rahm's 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.”
Rahm's insubordination is breathtaking.....questions aside about the propriety of doing that to ANYONE, much less the President of the United States. Rahm continually tries to overshadow Obama......arrogantly standing with his hands on hips for official pics---to stand out from the crowd. And sends a message----"you guys will have to deal with me--not Obama."
The knuckle episode is illustrative of a seriously disturbed sociopath. Self-aggrandizing Rahm meeds to assure everyone and himself that he's Mr Big. The guy NEEDS to bask in the limelight.....needs constant ego-boosting.
It's nauseasting to think this guy was in our Congress. Watta jerk.......even without his tutu.

Agreed. Can you possibly imagine James Baker, Ken Duberstein, Leon Panetta, or Andy Card ever pulling such a stunt with their bosses...? Hell no.
That little episode tells you all you really need to know about Rahm. If he possessed even a modicum of respect for the Office and the individual, he would have refrained from engaging in such juvenile behavior.
And to do that in front of the Speaker and the rest of those Congressional leaders...
