 Rahm Emanuel Headed for a White House ExitPosted on Sep 8, 2010
It’s not easy being a hatchet man—particularly in a crowd of idealists like the current denizens of the White House—and this stylistic dissonance may cause an early exit for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. But this rumored move won’t spell the end of his career in high-stakes politics, according to Telegraph.

Hey RAHM, don’t forget the Israeli passport in the top drawer of your desk. And
Report thisnice work, RAHM—you did Mossad proud as a mole within the O-bomb-a Crime
Family. You are a traitor, a Mossad Mole, a son of a terrorist, and a piece of sjhit-
-RAHM. Good riddance!

Barack Obama failed because he couldn’t see through the psychopathic deceit of Emanuel, Summers and Geithner and the Clintons. He also failed to research and study the past. In order to plan for the future you must understand the past. In order to solve our country’s problems you must find the root causes.

If I remember correctly Emmanuel was the first cabinet member nominated, then came all the other left-overs from the Clinton administration. They are all Obama’s boys now and it looks as though the president is going to wait until he is drowning to call for help from people not engaged in the sinking of the ship.
Report thisObama’s boys and Obama’s deals, so row, row, row your boat.

That comment about the “crowd of idealists like the current denizens of the White House” is hilarious! Thanks ever so much for a good laugh. Honestly, I didn’t know that Truthdig was a humor magazine.

Rham Emanuel, Israel/Mossad spy, will most likely leave a number of Mossad gadgets in and our the White House; especially, around Barack Obama…It will be all for Israel’s benefit!
He will NOT leave empty handed…he has done it with Bill Clinton!

At least Emmanuel was a colorful character. Now, we are stuck with the likes of
Report thisGeithner, Summers running this nation and claiming that big bonuses must be
paid to ineffective Wall Street operators. Obama is little better than the previous
president. Certainly more ineffective in his implementing goals.

Hopefully they will put Arne Duncan on the bus back to Chicago with him.
They can all ‘Friedman’ themselves to death there.

Rahmbo ‘Israel’ Emanuel’s Wikipedia C.V. tells (in some detail) the story of a immensely driven private and political opportunist, who managed his social and political career with an almost impeccable timing. His when and whereabouts, how he made his fortune and why he, and not someone else, was Obama’s prime-choice as the W.H. agenda-spin-meister in chief, reads as the cynical outcome of the ‘American-Dream’ for wich you, the American-Public, had to be asleep to beleave in. (George Carlin, may he R.I.P.)
The detriment and inevitable downfall into the lame-duckness of Obama’s Presidency is as obvious now as it should have been when ‘the hope that so many wanted to beleave in’ was crushed by the then president to be Barack Obama, when he picked Rahm Emanuel in 2008 as his W.H. Secretary, followed by his choice of the Goldman-Sachs Rat-Pack who he trusted with the job to jump-start the U.S. economy.
Remember when Obama was glorified about his status as a Constitutional Scholar, his (people) intelligence and his promesses of hope and change? about the wars? about Habeas-Corpus? About Fisa? about openness, transparant and responsible government? about holding responsible those who committed (war) crimes, torture, financial crimes, judicial crimes (Yoo, Rove, ect.) and the lot of crimes against humanity committed under the reign of G.W. Bush, who stole at least one Presidency (in 2000)?
Obama’s Presidency is toast, he blew it, by trusting the snake-oil pedlars and not trusting the people who voted him into office, he’ll be remembered as the first Black Presidential DUD.

I’m no pundit, but would anyone ever buy a used car from this guy! I wouldn’t. And that was before his “track record”.....the odious bunch that has become the inner circle is an odd collection of misfits, malcontents, leftist radicals, social engineers, and criminal revolutionary of the seventies! Oh getting back to Rahm he is the perfect size for a Napoleonic Complex. Chicago if you elect this guy, you will deserve him…

There are NO idealists in the Obama entourage. If there are, they are strictly political costume jewelry designed to make the Democrats look good from thirty feet away. Rahm Emanuel, a cynic of Stalinist or Cheneyesque proportions, represents what the Democrats have degenerated into: a street gang whose passions are money and power for its own sake. Rahm Emanuel is the future face of the Democrats once the Casper Milquetoast named Obama tip toes out of office in 2013, roundly considered by Democrat pros as the Jimmy Carter of his age. Goodbye and don’t darken our door again (no pun intended). The Democrats will go looking for an ass kicking mediocrity, a cross between the strutting bar room brawler Emanuel and the downhome reactionary politics of Ben Nelson. There will be many, many candidates. No shortage there. And even then, the Democrats will be considered by the Ruling Class and its flunkies in the MSM as socialists and enemies of jus’ plain folks.

After his “strategizing” has lead to the tanking of the fortunes of the Democratic Party, it’s right about time for Rahm to bail out and set up a local fiefdom in Chicago.
Washington never learned. Rahm and the DLC “leadership” gutted the Democratic party in the 90’s leading to the Newt/Contract On America takeover. And they’ve done it again in the now, opening us up to the Boehner/Tea Party Era. Basically, Rahm and the DLC-approach is a dismal, epically-bad 0-2.
It speaks to the low caliber of our political class that incessant self-promotion and profanity-laden rants can lead a back-bencher like Rahm to the top of the heap, just so he can lead everyone else off the cliff.
And it certainly doesn’t speak highly of President Obama’s judgement, that he placed Rahm “(the left is)fucking retarded/fuck the UAW” Emmanuel into such a position of power.
