Obama will most likely pick Valerie Jarrett to replace Rahm.

Please Mr Potato Head, pick Valerie Jarrett
With this activist loonie running things the electorate ready for tar and feathers by 2012.
Heaven help US, if Valerie Jarrett takes his place....
Valerie Jarret would be a disaster as WH Chief of Staff. Say what you will about Rahm, but he was brutally effective in his job and in whipping Congressional Rats into line.
“In Mr. Obama’s case, the administration’s groupthink is more subtle. Talk to any senior White House aide, and you will hear the same essential narrative of the past 18 months — how President George W. Bush and his Wall Street friends bequeathed to Mr. Obama crises of unforeseen proportions, how Republicans tried to derail efforts to address them, how none of the president’s predicaments are of his own making. Even when they acknowledge missteps, Mr. Obama’s aides tend to see them, to borrow a legal term, as fruit of the poisonous tree — that is, missteps that would not have occurred were it not for the misery they inherited.”
Subtle? If that's the way they want to see it.
This group in the WH is foolish enough, it seems, to believe their own press releases. And if you think this WH is dysfunctional now, just wait until after Rahm leaves.
Sharp left turn at the WH. There will no longer be any pretense of upholding the constitution.
