GQ on Holder-Emanuel wars (could explain a lot)
Politico ^ | 11-12-10 | Josh Gerstein

````````````````````````

GQ's Wil Hylton has a profile out of Attorney General Eric Holder that spills more ink on the friction with recently departed White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel:

*snip*

Hylton also identifies what may be the most intriguing and important mystery of the Holder-Rahm saga, a question that may well be answered in the coming days if the administration lays out its revised plan for the alleged Sept. 11 plotters:

My sense is Hylton didn't get a real answer to that, but perhaps we'll all know soon enough.

The linked info is a MUST read, and could be behind many current political and policy controversies and issues; i.e., Chicago Way, Obama/Blagojevich trial, WH 'insider' rumors, etc.

According to GQ, it's patently clear the relationship was anything but cordial between these two O-admin officials, each in a very powerful position.

Without reading anything....yet.... it’ll be “race” trumped Rahm.

Holder is the brother and true Marxist and I think he literally hates America.

Yes .. as brutish as Rahm is, I do think
he was a vocal breaker on some of -0’s
extreme radicalism, like O-care.

Who will stop -0 now ?

Agreed. I think Rahm was in Holder's face because of politically stupid things they were doing at Justice, like the AZ immigration law attacks and NPBP. I can't imagine that Rahm was in favor of “KSM takes Manhattan” either.

The other interesting tidbit: 0 always took Holder's side.

I can’t believe anybody would read something into, to any effect of what could be, might be, or otherwise have happened, is happening, or or might be whatever, is, am, based on this of all sources Politico.

Sorry, but this is bullshit. It even tries to influence a good guy, bad buy emotion out of two a-holes, Emmanuel, and Holder.

NO WAY am I considering anything from this blurb of crap. from Politico.

I don't think Rahm ever acted as “breaker” per se on O’s policies. Rahm was in it for Rahm. A total machiavellian character. When he left it was huge tell. He saw the train wreck coming.

Rahm has recently been portrayed as the voice of reason at the WH. When a flaky nut job like Rahm, who happens to be a top political operative, becomes the voice of reason, then Houston—We Have a Problem! Rahm was a bully, a scorched earth politico, who if you believe the stories, confronted nude congressmen in the nude himself. So now that all the grown-ups have left the White House, does that leave just Vallerie Jarrett and her host of incompetent ultra-leftist political idealogues?

But his departure should help stabilize fish prices.

Chief of Staff Draws Fire From Left as Obama Falters

Excerpt:

But they are directing their anger less at Mr. Obama than at the man who works down the hall from him. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, they say, is the prime obstacle to the changes they thought Mr. Obama’s election would bring.

*snip*

Some attendees said they were planning to air ads attacking conservative Democrats who were balking at Mr. Obama’s health-care overhaul.

“F—ing retarded,” Mr. Emanuel scolded the group, according to several participants. He warned them not to alienate lawmakers whose votes would be needed on health care and other top legislative items.

With all his other marxist America-hating characteristics, I have always believed that the driving force under all Obama’s other ideologies is his racism and hatred of whites. When he can more or less call his own grandmother a racist, that goes to the bottom of everything else. The rest of it is just the avenues through which he expresses and enacts his hatred of whites. His Marxism is of the liberation theology variety-hatred of whites.

Even the left (and this piece in GQ is criticism from the left, not from the right) realizes that the Kenyan Clown and his circus are probably the worst joke ever played on the American people.

The last page is the only one that I think is really worth reading; the first page is moderately interesting, but most of the rest is simply an encomium to the left and how the Kenyan usurper has turned out to be unworthy of their votes.

“...THIS ARTICLE LINKS TO INFO PUBLISHED IN GQ MAGAZINE...”

So what! It was picked up by Politico most certainly because it supported their own perspectives. It’s from Politico when you post it from them no matter their source.

His anger comes from his being only half white. So he hates them all for it.

Yeah, there is something else going on that has been kept fairly secret until now. This will eventually get publicized. Especially if I can help it a bit. ;-)
