I think RE may be frustrated by Bambi’s inability to get some of the things that he had wanted right off the bat, but I’d suspect there’s something else at work here.
Possibly Emmanuel is being sent out of DC to make sure that the troops (ACORN, SEIU) stay in line out there in the hinterlands, or possibly simply to take him out of such a prominent position and let him work more aggressively behind the scenes. I think Bambi knows that RE is extremely unpopular with many people, even some Dems, and that he’s probably served his purpose in DC.
Besides, RE is a Jew and Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran to leftist American parents, and is widely thought to be a Muslim. She turns up in all sorts of Muslim advocacy groups and “outreach” organizations, although she’s pretty shadowy about being a Muslim. I read an interview with her before the election that indicated that she was a Muslim. But in any case, if she’s not an overt Muslim, she’s very pro-Muslim, like Barry.
I heard someone (Dem insider or reporter (same thing)-can’t recall) on Scarborough say Rahm was dead set against pushing for a public health care option because he knew it would split the party and never pass. He has been at loggerheads with others in the Obama administration over this and disappointed that Obama didn’t squash Pelosi on this from the get go. He advice was not heeded.
IMO, he is getting off the Titanic to live and fight another day. He wants to get out of the disaster that is DC and put a lot of distance between himself and the Obama led disaster in the making. If he gets out now, of his own volition, he’ll be long gone and forgotten when Nov. 2010 rolls around.
Rahm may be an ideologue, but he is first and foremost a pragmatist who will do anything to stay on top of the heap. He is not a lemming. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he sets up shop with the Clintons to grab back the reins of the Dem party from the Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Dean wing. If he does, that will be great political intrigue and entertainment- popcorn worthy.
Bring on Jarrett. She will be an unmitigated disaster.
I agree with all your points here except the muslim bent on Jarrett -not true-Jarrett was born in Iran while her father was a doctor in a hospital over there & i forget what her mother was doing exactly atthat time but being born in Iran doesn’t make one muslim.
Val Jarrett is a commie,but she’s a also a commie/socialist that likes the almighty dollar .You would have to research for yourself to see her exact connections and some of that can be traced back to Frank Marshall Davis & the young high school Barack Obama.
you can also see Jarrett @ http://www.muckety.com
just punch in her name & you’ll see ALL the Chicago politics nobody wants to talk about
& that’s probablywhy Rahm Emanuel wants an early out from the Obama Admin
