"In between his stints in Washington, Emanuel got rich working as an investment banker. He once sat on the board of Freddie Mac and recuses himself from any Congressional votes on the mortgage giant."
"Has been known to send out cheesecakes from Eli's Bakery in Chicago to campaign donors and the many Democratic candidates he has recruited over the years. Once, when a pollster made him angry, Emanuel sent him a dead fish."

Uncanny resemblance!
0bama is the Boss, so it’s HIS decision ultimately. And being a sneak and a coward, he’s hoping/arranging for the blame to fall on others.
Note that the "embeds" who accompanied the Army in 2003 and reported in a "you were there" real-time arrangement with DoD were a lot less hostile to the Administration than the Washington Post pukes who came out later and showed up at firefight scenes and IED-explosion sites with their stories already 50% written, to plug local details and color into their political lies they were feeding the folks back home. WaPo's Baghdad man was especially noteworthy in this kind of reportage and in fact was outed in a 2004 or 2005 e-mail from an Army sergeant back home who saw what the guy was doing (which is as I've just described).
ABC's smart-butts don't include Martha Raddatz, who was there and saw a lot of the rough stuff and saw our people in the field manning up to handle the jihadis and Al-Q'aeda. She has great admiration and compassion for our military people in the field, and it shows. She's a patriot (bite on that, Carville!).
As to the question of Administration response, yes, the Bush Administration's response to press lies was very different from Obama's responses to challenge. But then, the 'Ratmedia handed the Administration its head on public trust. The press denigration of Mr. Bush was very, very successful.
Their 'Rat Boy now sits in the White House, plotting Marxist "revolution from above" on the American People. That's how successful their lying invective was. Bush accomplished his Administration's war goals, but a 'Rat sits in the White House trying to figure out how to betray our success and still get away with pushing the inevitable blame on someone else, so he can go on to become an American Lenin.
Just report the news. This is not news.
BTTT.
Thanks, and you’re welcome. Lots more like it on my FR Home page. :)
I don’t understand why anyone is afraid of Rahm Emanuel. He is a 5’5” ballet dancing puss* whose claim to fame is that he rides the coattails of other politicians to power. The guy is a jerk loser who would be running a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts if he were not in politics.
Anita and Robert, a liberal partnership, straight out of central casting.
It is my opinion that 0bam0 is nothing more than a puppet of a group of communist/socialist led by none other than George Soros.
Someone please prove me wrong!
I'm thinking her brother or cousin had to take her to the Senior Prom.
Thanks!!! He DOES look like Hitler!!
Now that is just scary.
Who’da thunk a family of Palestine Jews (Russian or eastern European emigrants?) would produce a ballet dancer who looks so much like Goebbels? (and has his political instincts and loving nature, too)
She was too busy reading Saul Alinsky’s book in a coffeehouse to go to the prom.
Axelrod, Rahm, Jarrett, etc.
Typical Bolshevik tactics. Feh!
