Rumors over with...so much for change...it is the man who has one of the worst tempers and hatred for Republicans in the history of Washington as Chief of Staff for President-Elect Barack Obama

FROM THE ARCHIVES: How Chicago's profane, ruthless, savvy operative, remade the Democrats in his image

Any estimations on how long that will take?
Murtha for CJCS! He can be reinstated as a marine general by the president right?
Yes, he is Jewish, the child of left-wing Israelis who want to give Jerusalem away so there will be peace and kumbaya.
The Israeli left is just as bad as the US left. However I believe they are quite the minority there. Israelis in Israel overwhelmingly supported McCain and Bush.
Firt one up is this guy Carper in Delaware. Ever wonder how it is Biden could have a compound with 4 houses on a Senator's salary? Maybe Carper's his "bag man". Well, whether he is or not, I think we can find out before the poor deluded citizens of Delaware vote this puke back into office.
I'll try to do this once a week, weakest Dem first, until I run out of 'em.
No sense wasting my time on someone like Rahm ~ he's all crook and proud of it, but then again, he has relatives. Maybe they could stand some review eh? (to be pursued later).
Wow. What a classy guy.
The Daley Machine comes to Washington.

The Clinton WH staff behaved like thugs, shouting people down on tv all the time. Very inappropriate.
"Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1959. His father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and was a member of the Irgun, a militant Zionist group considered a terrorist organization"Meet the Neo Boss, same as the Old Boss.---The Who?What would Tzvi do?
That's enough time for this puke to hang himself, his political buddies, and half of Illinois.
temper and hate isn’t the only thing. He’s got Freddie Mac creds

also this is an excellent critique
Emanuel [Yuval Levin]
Obama’s apparent selection of Rahm Emanuel for White House chief of staff is an extremely disconcerting (if not wholly surprising) first indication on the “which Obama will we get” question. It suggests both that he wants to be ruthless and partisan and that he does not have a clear sense of how the White House works.
Emanuel was by all accounts a very effective White House staffer in the Clinton administration, and he has certainly been an effective member of the House of Representatives. He is smart and tough. But he has been, in both positions, a vicious graceless partisan: narrow, hectic, unremittingly aggressive, vulgar, and impatient. Those who have worked for and with him come away impressed but not inspired, and generally not loyal.
The White House chief of staff is not a chief strategist or a chief advocate. He is a manager of people and of process. Above all else, he sets the tone internally, and shapes the president’s decision process and the feel of the upper tiers of the administration. Obama is especially in need of someone who will lead him to decisions, because he appears to be intensely averse to making difficult choices—which is the essence of what the president does. His inclination is to step back and conceptualize the choice out of existence, looking reasonable but doing nothing. To overcome this, he will need a chief of staff with a sense of the gravity of the choices the president faces, and one capable of moving the staff to decision, keeping big egos satisfied and calm, and resisting the pressure to be purely reactive to momentary distractions. None of this spells Rahm Emanuel. There is definitely a place for a Rahm Emanuel type of brilliant ruthless shark in a White House staff, but not in the Chief’s office. Not a good first sign.

He is Jewish and he voted for the Iraq war.
This is going from a headache to a nightmare in a hurry... it’s sad when you’re pinning your hopes on Tony Rezko.
Maybe he is of the opinion that a President needs to fight a war to be taken seriously. Did Biden let it out of the bag?
“Bendavid acknowledges that his subject “was not responsible for the major factors behind the Republican rout. He had not affected the course of the Iraq war, persuaded the Republicans to botch the Hurricane Katrina recovery, or created the GOP corruption scandals. Emanuel’s job had been to position the Democrats so that if a political tidal wave did emerge, the party would reap the benefit.”
Yes, the scumbag MSM was only too happy to help also.
