This guy is in reality what the moonbats imagine Rove is. Prepare for war. We need to fight this guy because he’s going to spin every expansionist policy as centrist. Pray for our friend Mr. Netanyahu. Show this clown what Jewish strength really is by taking out the reactors. Swinging your junk around on a table and screaming to a bunch of interns isn’t my idea of stones.
LOL, who else would that steaming pantload Obama select but a former bag boy for the Chicago mob?
The division in this country will make for some interesting times in the near future, and the jihadist-in-chief will have much explaining to do.
obama rained on the dems parade with this choice.
Just check out comments on some dem sites.
They’re realizing already that the *change* promised may not be forthcoming.
Quite a feat for less than 24 hours after having been declared the winner.
I believe Rahm Emanuel’s wife is an Orthodox Jew. He’s a liberal Jew to the nth degree who will be Chief of Staff for someone who wants to converse with leaders who want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Sheesh.
Excellent. I can't wait until he blows up on camera, making complete fools out of himself and Osama.
Most clear-minded observers would agree that among the mortal body blows that have brought the Democrats to their present ebb, the passage of NAFTA in 1993, with consequent evisceration of the American industrial economy, must count as among the most lethal.
Key to that passage was Emmanuel, who directed the Clinton White House operation to get the treaty passed by any means necessary.
For years, Emanuel was the political brains of Bill Clinton's White House. Intense to the point of ferocity, he was known for taking on the most daunting tasks -- the ones no one else wanted -- and pulling off the seemingly impossible, from banning assault weapons to beating back the Republican-led impeachment. "Clinton loved Rahm," recalls one staffer, "because he knew that if he asked Rahm to do something, he would move Heaven and Earth -- not necessarily in that order -- to get it done."
"He's got this big old pair of brass balls, and you can just hear 'em clanking when he walks down the halls of Congress," says Paul Begala, who served with Emanuel on Clinton's staff.
There's the story about the time he sent a rotting fish to a pollster who had angered him.
the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting "Dead! . . . Dead! . . . Dead!" and plunging the knife into the table after every name. "When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape," one campaign veteran recalls. "It was like something out of The Godfather. But that's Rahm for you."
******
In 1999 he left the White House and returned to Chicago where he made millions as an investment banker.
Rep. Rahm Emanuel is ducking questions about his role in the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s Citizenship USA Initiative, which he helped direct back in 1996 during the Clinton Administration.
Emanuel, in his capacity as a senior White House adviser to President Bill Clinton, was well known in Department of Justice circles as a “shadow Attorney General,” according to a former Clinton DOJ official.
Emanuel was identified in a 2000 DOJ Inspector General report as a key player in a taxpayer-funded scheme to fast-track legal and illegal immigrants through any means possible for citizenship so that they could vote for the Democrat party. The program was called Citizenship USA.
Heard Rove talking to Neil Cavuto about this appointment. According to Rove, Emanuel is a real nasty guy who, as a top advisor to Bill Clinton, would regularly get in the face of Republicans in Congress over their votes on legislation. According to Rove, this wasn’t the job of the President’s advisor, but rather the party chief (Whip?) Rove said there is no love lost between Emanuel and Hillary Clinton, because Emanual forced Hillary’s health care plan to take a back seat to other pressing issues more expedient to Bill’s political future. Rove also said that during last night’s speech, Obama made the claim that he wanted bi-partisanship, but with this appointment, he appears to be going in exactly the opposite direction, because Emanuel is a very partisan person.
Bush is a wussy. A fake cowboy. All hat and no cattle. He refused to prosecute Clinton and refused to prosecute Obama and his minions. Well, he is about to find out their hatred and venom for him and all other Republicans. You can’t bitch later when you are out of pwoer.
hahaha 1 day after the election and he already shot the “change” theme to hell..
Oh boy.... pass the popcorn.
And John Podesta to head the transition team.
Change?
This ought to unite the country. Obama is such a liar.
Hmmmmm. Can you say Goebbels?
Lord Barack Øbama assembles his party of unifiers.
J.D. Hayworth just read my letter on KFYI (Phoenix, AZ). I pointed out that the AP neglected to mention that Emanuel had been on the board of Freddie Mac. Instead, they said he had “turned to investment banking”.
It just gets better and better.
