Rahm
Emanuel - Chief of Staff
As
president elect, Obama has made another stunningly stupid move. He hired career
Chicago thug politician Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff. Emanuel once mailed
a dead fish to a pollster that displeased him. The symbolism is clear to anyone
who saw the movie the Godfather.
Emanuel is just plain nasty. He told British
Prime Minister Tony Blair, "Don't F$&k it up!" before Tony's first
meeting with Bill Clinton.
At a formal dinner after working on Bill Clinton's
campaign, Emanuel startled his dinner partners by denouncing democrat insiders
that had endorsed candidates other than Bill Clinton. As he yelled their names,
he grabbed a steak knife and slammed it into the wooden table screaming, "Dead!"
Emanuel's
career includes being on the board of scandal-ridden Freddie Mac. He has never
been accused of being bipartisan.
Ironically,
Rahm, the diminutive democrat with the "little man" syndrome (he's about
5' 5" tall), was a ballet dancer. He has since taken out this past humiliation
by trying to be a wanna-be athlete by running triathlons and acting like some
sort of Mafioso. All this schoolyard bully needs is a punch in the nose. However,
he does make scrawny Obama look almost buff by comparison.
Obama chose Emanuel
for a couple of reasons. Firstly, Obama is a wimp. He always has to have someone
else do his dirty work. Emanuel is a suck up and feeds his ego by acting like
a tough guy. So, they were made for each other. Secondly, Emanuel, an ardent Jew,
lends credibility to Obama being a friend of Israel. However, nothing could be
further from the truth. Obama may let Emanuel give his administration the appearance
of supporting Israel while Obama is actually making deals with Israel's enemies.
Well,
if the Obama supporters are honest, and they're not, they would admit that this
is not exactly the "change" they had in mind. Watch, he will give Jimmy
Carter some sort of position in his administration. If Obama wanted to go any
further back to get old democrats, they would already be dead, like many that
voted for him are.
