I’ve read that Rahm is the most rational actor out of all of them.

The latest toxic meme to spread across the pages of my once-beloved Washington Post is that President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is the one reasonable man in the White House.

First came perpetually disgruntled columnist Dana Milbank, suddenly a little ray of sunshine on the subject of the terribly underappreciated chief of staff: “Obama’s first year fell apart in large part because he didn’t follow his chief of staff’s advice on crucial matters,” Milbank wrote. “Arguably, Emanuel is the only person keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter.”

All that means is Emanuel wants to take the march to socialism one step at a time instead of whole hog like they've been doing.

“Arguably, Emanuel is the only person keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter.”

If that’s been his objective, he has failed miserably. To my knowledge, he has no Japanese DNA, but perhaps he believes that the only honorable recourse is to resign.

Too late, Dana. Rahm scored an epic fail. BHO is already worse than the peanut farmer.
