True enough; there will be no change ~ no change at all.

What a bunch of fools those Obama voters are.

I don't know how far to trust wikipedia. But they say that Rahm thinks he was the inspiration for one of the characters on TV's The West Wing, and that he's appeared on the show. And that he won a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet and gave it up to go to Sarah Lawrence. More interesting: his brother's an agent in Hollywood and said to be the inspiration for Jeremy Piven's character on Entourage.

They are going to self-destruct. They are setting up a fascist government and will be destroyed by their own overreaching criminality.

They are all Chicago thugs.

LOL!!! This is hilarious!

I wonder how long it will be before we hear the sound of exploding heads at MOVEON and The DailyKOS once Obama's "True Believers" figure out what has REALLY happened.

The Clinton WH staff behaved like thugs, shouting people down on tv all the time. Very inappropriate.

temper and hate isn’t the only thing. He’s got Freddie Mac creds

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2126405/posts

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.

This is going from a headache to a nightmare in a hurry... it’s sad when you’re pinning your hopes on Tony Rezko.

Rahm Emmanuel is an example of “civility” in the Marxist Party.

The Obama White House will be a Rats’ nest of high crimes and treason. John Kerry is knocking at the door for Secretary of State, and the dullard dork will probably get appointed.

Either the Republicans fight back with a BACKBONE and a COHERENT CONSERVATIVE PROGRAM and save the country, or they try to “play ball” to curry favor with the Washington Post and send the country even further into the crapper.

There is a lot to admire about John McCain, but his service to conservatism isn’t really one of them. Let his fate be an object lesson to others.

PS Are there any conservatives out there willing to buy up more media outlets? :)

I admire Rahm Emanuel. At least he’s got balls, unlike the pathetic pussy McCain. Who else here is sick and tired of “classy” Republicans who lose?

This is Obama reaching out - to the Clintonista wing of his party.
The rest of us can go to hell.

Mistake. You don’t appoint a knife-man as your Chief of Staff. That position requires a lot of different things. A knife-man in that position will end up being hated by his own side more than the opposition. He controls access to the President and has to have some level of diplomacy and tact or he ends up being seen as an obstacle and targeted.
