My advice to JJJ.......book a flight now and rush to the Wailing Wall. You will never be able to overcome this campaign pic.

A longtime Washington D.C. insider, and former advisor to the Obama election campaign and transition team, speaks out on an administration in crisis, and a president increasingly withdrawn from the job of President.
2008 gave America an incredibly charismatic candidate for President of the United States. Speech after speech showed a candidate with increasing momentum as primary race after primary race concluded. And then came the nomination, more speeches, culminating in an election night victory.
According to the person sitting across from me, those were incredibly exciting times, even for one who had been a participant with three previous presidential hopefuls. Barack Obama appeared to move from one city to the next effortlessly, gaining confidence and motivation with each campaign stop. He was remarkable to watch. He took the script, elevated it with his oration, left the crowds screaming for more, and then would do it all over again, time after time after time. On the campaign trail, Obama is a machine.

Keep the Big Tent big [Mayor Daley’s brother warns Dems]
WaPo ^ | December 24, 2009 | William M. Daley
Good guess, so is Craig. Perhaps all of the above, the Clinton Machine at work.
If there is one thing I have learned in this town – don’t make an enemy of Bill Clinton.
How would JJJ fit into the outline?
I knew all this instinctively. He’s a feather , surrounded by ether wrapped in nothing.
Funny how someone(s) forgot to tell JJJ about Fitz’s wiretaps when the rest of the gang bailed. ;)
Agreed. It's the Clinton machine at work. Phantom source or actual.
Rahm Emanuel, Jesse Jackson Jr.—both mulling Chicago mayoral runs—huddle Wednesday night

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.)—both mulling Chicago mayoral runs—huddled in Washington on Wednesday night.
“It’s fair to say they had a conversation not only about the race, but about the city itself,” said a source who declined to be named.
Emanuel and Jackson are among the more than two dozen potential contenders pondering jumping in the Feb. 22, 2010 nonpartisan Chicago mayoral primary in the wake of Mayor Daley’s decision last week not to seek another term.
Jackson’s wife, Sandi, a Chicago alderman, also is on some long lists of maybe candidates.
Emanuel is wrestling with what is a major life decision for him, one being made in the context of having to juggle major domestic and international matters for the Obama White House.
Emanuel commissioned his long-time pollster, Stanley Greenberg to poll Chicagoans to help Emanuel test issues and his own viability.

Jackson also said he and Emanuel do not agree on many issues, but they do agree the city is at a tipping point and “the economic destiny of Chicago hangs in the balance.”
Jackson said Emanuel’s candidacy would “nationalize” the race, entangling it in Obama’s agenda.
“No one entering this contest should be under any illusion that if Rahm Emanuel comes to town, he’s (not) bringing an A-game,” Jackson said. “This will not be a B-game. And those who would be mayor need to recognize that. I say this with respect, but not unafraid to be in the ring with him myself.”
Neither Jackson nor Emanuel has very long to mull their decision. Election rules give candidates until Nov. 22 to file petitions to run. Any candidate would likely need to start laying groundwork well before then

Ooh, to be a fly on the wall!! Betting Rahm had the upper hand, and NEITHER mentioned what’s possibly coming in the Blago retrial.
Which would explain the escalation in (Clintonite owned) tabloid stories.
Peter Orzag would make some sense, but isn’t he just as big of a keynesian/marxist fruitcake as Obama?
The Clinton machine being behind this makes more sense to me than the Daley machine at this point. Perhaps they are one in the same. It could also be a low level aid of some kind. Who knows...but what we do know is that this really comes as no surprise to most of us. There is something profoundly wrong with our president. I am leaning more and more to the idea that he is a puppet for other dark forces. Not that he doesn’t believe in what they are doing,but that he is leaving the implementation of their marxist revolution up to others to carry out. He has no interest in the ‘roadmap’...only that they arrive at the destination...The fundamental transformation of America.
Pray! We are teetering on the brink of their orchestrated economic and societal collapse.
I don’t think it’s Daley, because the article says it’s a White House insider.
Orzag has shown moments of rationality- but I don’t think agreement or disagreement on policy is what drove the writer of this piece- whether it be a real or phantom “insider”.
What strikes me is the writer’s concern for BO’s mental state.
We’ve had president’s come unhinged before- most recently I think of Nixon...but the nation literally hangs in the balance now.
Excellent point! WH insider!
I’ll go back to my choice, Greg Craig...LOL.
OR Se Mom’s “phantom”!

PING to above.

Rahm sheds a tear at Kovel (the Wailing Wall) w/ his son who he brought to Israel to get bar mitzvahed.
“What strikes me is the writer’s concern for BO’s mental state.”
That certainly is the main focus all throughout part 1 and 2 for sure. The bit in part 2 about blaming the left for taking their party off of the cliff was equally intriquing. It suggests that this person is not a certified marxist ideologue or Ayers type revolutionary. He/She is more pragmatic and strategizing about implementing ‘progressive’ change...like Clinton was. With this in mind, it very well could be Orzag or someone on Rahm’s staff.
Sis thought that JJJ was also wearing a tap and didn’t want to expose his cover.
Ok- I’m leaning more toward Craig now- it says this guy was part of the transition team too- don’t think Petey was that kind of advisor- but Craig fits nicely on two counts: 1- Clintonista and 2- transition
RE dealing with JJJ for the AA vote?
How is that going to fly with (’ex-muslim’) Jeremiah Wright’s ‘church?’ LOL!
