<><> They took over the US Census.
<><> Obama's COS was placed in an unusual dual role: (1) in the WH, and, (2) in the US Treasury.
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so intimately involved in the inner workings of the Treasury, that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Rahm is nothing but a poor street urchin, who, w/ just 10 cents in his pocket, "accidentally" got into big-time Chicago politics ---miraculously Rahm then became a multi-millionaire overnight. The Chicago mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job poor Emanuel has coveted since he was a penniless machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and served a dual role as (1) Clinton's senior White House aide, AND, (2) a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.
After Rahm "accidentally" became a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a Wall Street investment firm......he decided to run for Congressman (was there for four terms). Hard-scrabble Rahm's accidental stumble into politics culminated in Rahm picked as (1) Obama's White House chief of staff .... and a dual role as (2) Obama's hand-picked man at Treasury with an unarticulated "job description."
Later, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had "accidentally" raised $10 million for his campaign "in just a matter of weeks." Seems the poverty-stricken bugger had "accidentally wired" federal tax dollars offshore at the time he was in a dual role as Obama's COS AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.
Sob.
awesome.
